Situation in Bangkok

 

Areas flooded in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area include suburbs in the east and west, the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, and districts in the northern part of the city.

 

In central Bangkok, businesses, hotels, shops and tourist attractions remain open as per normal in areas including:


  • Khao San Road
  • Phetchaburi Road
  • Ploenchit/ Chidlom
  • Pratunam
  • Rama 1 Road
  • Rama 4 Road
  • Ratchaprasong (Central World area)
  • Sathorn
  • Siam Square/ MBK/ Siam Paragon
  • Silom/ Surawongse
  • Sukhumvit Road/ The Emporium
  • Yaowarat (Chinatown)

 

Given the rapidly changing nature of the flooding situation in Bangkok, visitors should check multiple sources of information to make an informed decision about whether they should visit central Bangkok at the present time.

 

The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are operating normally at this time. Some MRT stations have closed certain entrances as a precaution.  Visitors are advised to check with the BTS and MRT regarding the current status of their operations.  Taxis and tuk tuks are available although the number in service is reduced.  Many BMTA bus routes have been rerouted or suspended due to the flooding.  Express boat services on the Chao Phraya River have also been suspended, as have most water-related tourist activities.

Everything just about back to normal for the last 5 or 6 weeks.  

Any flood damaged areas remaining are in parts of the city that tourists rarely go to.  Even during the height of the flood warnings tourists still were arriving at the airport.   For Bangkok consider that it is back to normal and has been that way for a while.
