Flood monitoring systems available in Bangkok and nearby provinces
Camera images, water-level data and local announcements can help travellers plan routes through Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani.
- In Bangkok, flood conditions can be monitored via the BMA's Department of Drainage and Sewerage map and the World Flood CCTV system.
- Nearby provinces offer their own dedicated systems, such as the Pak Kret City Municipality CCTV in Nonthaburi and the Flood Watch system in Pathum Thani's Rangsit area.
- In addition to government services, general traffic platforms like Longdo Traffic and iTIC Live provide information on flooded locations and CCTV images across multiple areas.
- These systems are designed to help travelers check water levels and view road conditions in real-time to plan journeys and avoid flooded routes during heavy rain.
Heavy rain in Bangkok and surrounding provinces has put roads in many areas at risk of flooding, particularly during periods of persistent rainfall.
Anyone planning to travel should check road conditions and local water levels before setting out to assess which routes are passable and which to avoid.
Several services run by local authorities and traffic platforms provide information on water conditions and images from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, helping travellers choose routes and plan alternatives.
Bangkok flood checks through the drainage department
In Bangkok, users can check flooding and water conditions through the Department of Drainage and Sewerage of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).
The department’s road flood monitoring system displays flooded locations on a map.

Check conditions before travelling in heavy rain
During heavy rain, motorists should check CCTV images and water-level information before setting out, particularly if their route passes through low-lying areas or places prone to flooding.
If there is deep floodwater, congestion or a road closure notice, they should avoid the affected route and use an alternative.
Camera images and map information are intended to support initial travel planning.
Water and traffic conditions can change with rainfall, so travellers should also follow local authorities’ announcements before and during their journey.
