BANGKOK, Thailand – Flooding disrupts train services in northern and eastern Thailand
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has announced major service changes and cancellations following heavy rainfall and flooding over railway tracks on 26 September 2026.
Northern Line
Flooding has closed part of the main Northern Line in Nakhon Sawan Province, between Nong Pho and Noen Makok stations. This is the main railway between Bangkok and northern Thailand, affecting travel towards destinations including Phitsanulok, Den Chai, Lampang and Chiang Mai.
Some passengers on trains already en route are being transferred by road around the flooded section.
SRT has also cancelled nine long-distance trains from their starting stations, comprising the overnight trains between Bangkok and Chiang Mai in both directions, together with services between Bangkok and Den Chai. The cancellations will remain in place until further notice.
Passengers holding tickets for cancelled trains can receive a full refund at any SRT station nationwide.
Eastern Line
Flooding has also closed sections of the Eastern Line in Sa Kaeo Province, affecting trains towards Aranyaprathet and the Cambodian border. Several services from Bangkok towards Chachoengsao, Kabin Buri, Ban Klong Luk and Chuk Samet have been cancelled or shortened.
With flooding and weather conditions continuing to change, passengers planning train journeys are strongly advised to check the latest service information before travelling.
