SRIRACHA, Thailand – More than two hours of heavy rain flooded roads in Sriracha, Chonburi, on October 14, leaving sections of Na Koh Loi Road and Kao Kilo Road under standing water as high tides hampered drainage.
The downpour caused water to accumulate on road surfaces in parts of Sriracha and Surasak subdistricts, disrupting traffic and making conditions particularly difficult for motorcyclists.
The high tide compounded the situation, slowing the flow of floodwater and prolonging the wait for roads to drain. Motorcyclists faced increased risks of accidents and engine failure while attempting to pass through flooded sections.
Sriracha Municipality officials deployed staff to affected areas to direct traffic, warn motorists and discourage drivers from entering flood-prone stretches. Road users were advised to slow down, exercise caution and avoid the affected routes unless necessary. Officials urged motorists to monitor conditions closely while drainage operations continued.
