Ratsadon Damri Soi 8
Prachinburi remained one of the eastern provinces most affected by the prolonged flood crisis, with water reported across seven districts and more than 59,000 households affected as of the latest provincial tally.
The situation showed signs of easing, with flood levels reported as receding, but communities in lowlying and riverside areas were told to stay alert because further heavy rain was forecast for 13 October. Recovery work continued alongside monitoring, as authorities warned that renewed rainfall could slow drainage and create fresh localised flooding.
The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) reported in its 6 a.m. nationwide update on 10 October that six Prachinburi districts were flooded, with 59,832 affected households and 23 deaths, the highest toll among the areas it listed. DDPM said water levels were declining.
A local disaster-command update issued at 6:20 p.m. on 9 October reported seven districts, 65 subdistricts and 691 villages flooded, with 60,317 households affected and 24 deaths. The two reports may reflect different update times or counts, so each figure is given with its source and timestamp.
In that local report, river stations in Kabin Buri, Si Maha Phot and Mueang showed levels trending downward, and water in Ban Sang had fallen about 5 cm, which provincial reports put at 5–6 cm on average. More than 107,961 rai of farmland, mostly rice fields, was reported damaged, and 3,640 people were in 52 temporary shelters.
In Mueang, authorities were using more than 10,000 sandbags and pumps to protect flood barriers and drain commercial areas, and were working to move water through Chachoengsao toward the sea.
Prachinburi has 209 public flood reports in Krap's records, filed between 23:42 on 26 September and 00:00 on 8 October 2026, Thailand time. A depth in centimetres is recorded in 113 of them. The most common figure is 20 cm (26 reports), ahead of 50 cm (21) and 80 cm (17), and the deepest is 200 cm.
Of the 20 reports that describe road conditions, 19 say small cars cannot pass and 1 says the road is blocked. The other 189 don't say whether a car can get through.
Kabin Buri leads the district counts with 16 reports, followed by Na Di (10), Si Maha Phot (7), Prachantakham (6) and Si Mahosot (2). No report names Ban Sang, though the prime minister called it the hardest-hit district in the country on 7 October [1].
The flood began with heavy rain on 22 September, when low sections of Highway 304 went under water and a Kabin Buri gauge recorded 105.2 mm in 24 hours [2]. On 26 September a flash flood from Khao Yai National Park reached Prachantakham, where the district chief called it the worst in 30 to 40 years [3].
The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) recorded 60,317 affected households and 19 deaths across 7 districts at 06:00 on 8 October, with the water falling [4]. Counts have differed from one report to the next, so this article gives each figure with its date.
Ban Sang is now the deepest, with 2-3 m of water in many places on 6 October [5]. Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, the largest in the province, has moved out all of its patients [6]. A report describes one place at one time, and a district with no report isn't proof of a dry road.
Krap AI is a free platform developed on a voluntary basis to support Thailand's AI future. It can be used for general conversations, and development is ongoing to enable flood forecasting by processing open-source data—a crucial capability for managing natural disasters like floods in Thailand.
You can chat with Krap AI to get the latest updates on Prachinburi flood disasters. While Krap AI utilizes its own dedicated flood AI model, it can also employ other AI models as a fallback during periods of high traffic.
Prachinburi has 209 public flood reports in Krap's records, filed between 23:42 on 26 September and 00:00 on 8 October 2026, Thailand time. 189 of them include a photo.
Filings were heaviest at the start. Of the 189 reports with a photo, 7 were filed on 26 September, 78 on 27 September and 77 on 28 September, and only 27 came in from 29 September onward. The fall in filings doesn't mean the water has gone, since official accounts below still describe standing water on 7 and 8 October.
A depth in centimetres is recorded in 113 reports, and 96 give no depth. The most common figure is 20 cm, with 26 reports.

The 200 cm report was filed at 16:28 on 27 September, and both 140 cm reports were filed at 21:32 on 29 September from Soi 8 on Prachin Anuson Road in Mueang Prachinburi. At the other end, 57 reports record 30 cm or less.
Official accounts give similar ranges. On 23 September the flood in Kabin Buri's 100-year-old market was 40-50 cm deep over a stretch longer than 1 km [7]. On 1 October the water in Mueang's municipal area was still waist- to chest-deep across almost the whole area [8].
Of the 20 reports that describe road conditions, 19 say small cars cannot pass and 1 says the road is blocked. The other 189 say nothing about whether a car can get through, and none says the water has gone.
Sixteen of the 19 small-car reports record a depth, from 10 cm to 50 cm. Eight were filed on 27 September, 8 on 28 September, 2 on 29 September and 1 on 30 September. At 00:49 on 30 September a report on Ratsadon Damri Road records 30 cm, and at 23:50 on 29 September one on Sarit Yuthasin Road, in the Ban Klang Tai community, records 20 cm.
Official lists give a wider picture. On 29 September small vehicles could not pass Highways 33, 304, 319, 3079, 3452, 3627 and 3649 [9]. On 3 October Mueang police found these depths on the town's main routes [10]:

The same day Highway 304 at Nang Leng was 30-40 cm outbound, open to high vehicles and ten-wheelers, and 40-50 cm inbound, closed to all traffic [10].
Ban Sang was cut off. Highways 3481 and 3076 and several rural roads were cut there on 3 October [10], and on 7 October the province banned all vehicles on routes 3481 and 3076 [6]. The same day the Department of Rural Roads listed 11 impassable rural roads in Prachinburi, with 70-100 cm of water on several and some cut in 3 or 4 sections [11].
Only 41 of the 209 reports name a district. The other 168 give a place or coordinates only, including reports in Mueang Prachinburi, so the counts below understate the real picture.

All 10 subdistricts of Si Maha Phot were flooded even though its household count was the smallest on that list [9].
Water had been entering Kabin Buri's 100-year-old riverside market since the morning of 22 September, where the Khwae Hanuman from Khao Yai meets the Khwae Phra Prong from Sa Kaeo [7]. On 23 September station Kgt.3 stood 0.76 m above the bank, and 32 houses at the old market were flooded [7]. By 26 September the district chief said all 14 subdistricts were flooded and the river stood 1.56-1.70 m over its bank [3].
Kabin Buri passed its water peak on 28 September [12]. More than 300 inmates were moved from its prison to one in Sa Kaeo [13]. On 1 October Highway 304 at the Ban Nang Leng bridge stayed closed because the current was strong [8], and by 2 October it was open one lane in front of Kabin Buri Hospital [14].
At 08:30 on 28 September the Prachinburi River, joined by water from Kabin Buri, was more than 70 cm over its bank in the city and had entered almost all 17 municipal communities [15]. At 06:00 on 30 September the Naresuan bridge station stood at 4.87 m, 74 cm above the bank [16].
On 4 October the water in the municipality was still about 1 m above the road and small cars could not pass [17]. By 6 October it had dropped more than 50 cm, though the signal junction still held about 80 cm [5]. On 7 October the acting governor said Mueang was falling 5-6 cm a day [18].
By 26 September all 10 subdistricts were flooded. The worst spots were the housing estates and industrial zone in Tha Tum, which had not flooded before, with water from knee depth to more than 1 m [3]. The inner market road and Highway 304 at the Nong Kha bridge were impassable to small cars [3].
A flash flood from Khao Yai National Park hit on 26 September, with water in houses about 20 cm to 1 m in some communities. Rescuers used flat-bottom boats to reach people still at home [19]. The district chief said it was the worst flood in 30 to 40 years, hitting Pho Ngam, Kham Kaeo, Bufai and Tanot, and in village 3 of Bufai every house was flooded, against eight in the past [3].
By 3 October the Dong Chai Man area could be reached only by boat [20]. Prachantakham Hospital ran a field hospital at Suwannawitthaya School, with an emergency room, a general clinic and a central kitchen [21].
Rain on the Prachinburi side of Khao Yai National Park, at Takro waterfall and Kaeng Hin Phoeng, exceeded 100 mm by 26 September, and the park closed six fee sites for two days [3]. By 2 October Na Di was nearing normal [14].
In Si Mahosot, a village head in Khu Lamphan subdistrict died of electric shock on the night of 1 October while helping flood-affected residents [22].
On 1 October DDPM warned that Ban Sang, low land receiving water from both Prachinburi and Nakhon Nayok, could see water 0.8-1 m higher than in 2013 [23]. By 3 October the district chief said it was worse than 2011 and 2013, with all 9 subdistricts and 88 villages flooded and every road cut. Only army trucks, rescue trucks and boats could move [20].
Relief reached Ban Sang by rail. On 4 October, with the water up another 15 cm, the provincial administration loaded supplies onto trains from Prachinburi station to Ban Sang station [24]. The State Railway of Thailand ran train No. 282 with food, water, milk powder and medicine [25].
On the night of 5 October more than 100 people, including bedridden patients, were moved from the shelter at Sri Rak Rat Bamrung School in Bang Taen to Wat Laem Phai in Mueang as the water kept rising [26]. On 6 October many spots in Ban Sang were 2-3 m deep [5].
On 7 October a further 145 people from Bang Taen were evacuated a second time, over more than 40 km: 19 children, 33 elderly people, 1 disabled person, 3 bedridden patients and 84 others [6]. The Ban Taphan gauge was still 1.42 m above its bank, and the affected area covered 9 subdistricts, 88 villages and 9,211 households [6]. In village 11 of Ban Sam Phok, more than 115 households and 311 people were affected, and most stayed at home raising belongings and beds [27].
On 25 September DDPM counted 136 affected households in Kabin Buri and Si Maha Phot [28]. Counts since then differ by source and by day, so the table keeps each figure as it was published.

On 1 October the provincial disaster centre counted 5 deaths: 2 in Mueang (1 electrocution, 1 drowning), 2 drownings in Kabin Buri and 1 drowning in Prachantakham [8]. The count of 18 on the night of 5 October was split into 14 drownings and 4 electric shocks [26].
Water began entering the province's largest hospital on 26 September. The provincial administration, soldiers and civilians built a laterite embankment overnight from 27 September until 05:30 on 28 September [15]. On 29 September the hospital closed its outpatient service and moved all critical red-tag patients to Fort Chakraphong Hospital [9].
By the morning of 1 October, 837 patients had been transferred, and about 30 remained. The hospital's director said no patient died from being stranded in the hospital system [33]. Fort Chakraphong has about 150 beds against about 500 at Abhaibhubejhr [33].
On 3 October the Fort Chakraphong field hospital had 124 inpatients, 58 emergency patients, 239 outpatients and 7 surgeries. Officials expected Abhaibhubejhr to reopen partly within 1 week and fully within 3 weeks [34]. On 4 October three field hospitals were open, at Fort Chakraphong, Mary Witthaya Kabin Buri School and Suwannawitthaya School [29].
On 7 October the hospital had moved out all of its patients, sandbagged its doors and moved its referral point to Fort Chakraphong. It said it would reassess that week whether it could reopen [6]. No reopening has been reported.
On 29 September the province had 65 temporary shelters holding 1,646 evacuees [9]. By 2 October there were 108 shelters in 7 districts holding 14,809 people [14]:

In Mueang the shelter at the new bus terminal held 376 evacuees on 4 October [17], and more than 300 on 7 October, including 11 bedridden patients and 7 regular dialysis patients [6].
On 23 September the head of Irrigation Project 9 said a low-pressure cell had crossed the East for two weeks, and Naruebodindrachinta Reservoir held about 50 percent of its capacity [7]. The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) put four-day rain totals from 23 to 26 September at about 300-500 mm across eight provinces including Prachinburi [35].
Water from the Khwae Hanuman has no reservoir to slow it, and RID expected it to lift the Kabin Buri old-market station before moving on to Mueang [35]. The chamber of commerce described the province as a basin or horseshoe in which the Prachinburi River is the only main drain [36].
On 29 September station Kgt.6 in Si Maha Phot was 1.55 m above its bank at 8.16 m, and station Kgt.1 in Mueang was 0.62 m above its bank at 4.75 m [9]. At about noon on 7 October the Ton Nam Bang Pakong bridge gauge in Kabin Buri was at about 115.6% of channel capacity, and the Narong Damri bridge gauge in Mueang at about 105.1% [37].
At 11:00 on 8 October, 5 of 13 gauges were still over their banks: Kabin Buri at 114%, Mueang at 105%, Si Maha Phot and Ban Tham at 104% each, and Prachantakham at 103%. Naruebodindrachinda Dam stood at 98.5% of capacity.
The Prachinburi River joins the Nakhon Nayok River and flows down the Bang Pakong to the Gulf of Thailand at Chachoengsao. On 3 October DDPM warned three Chachoengsao districts after the upper Bang Pakong rose 20-30 cm above its banks [38].
On 6 October all 5 gates of the Bang Pakong diversion dam were opened to their highest position, but drainage was limited because the lower river was still high [5]. The DDPM director-general said push-boats would be gathered at the river mouth, 40-50 that day and probably 80 later, run with the tides [39].
On 28 and 29 September images showed black, grey and rainbow slicks on floodwater in Hua Wa subdistrict, Si Maha Phot, beside a pond at a licensed industrial landfill [40]. The film on flooded rice fields was reported to be at least 1 km long.
On 5 October the Industry Ministry ordered the factory temporarily closed and required the landfill pits to be closed. The industry minister said a preliminary analysis showed oil with no other toxic contaminant, and asked people to avoid contact [41]. On 6 October the ministry's special unit said traces of industrial leachate were flowing from the landfill, and six samples were taken [42]. No published lab result names a chemical.
On 29 September the province counted 42,404 rai of damaged farmland and 3,773 affected farmers, including 38,212 rai of rice [9]. The Prachinburi Chamber of Commerce chairman said the flood was worse than 2011 and estimated damage to agriculture, the economy and trade could exceed 200-300 million baht [36].
The Industry Ministry crisis centre listed Prachinburi third for affected operators, with 237, after Bangkok (312) and Samut Prakan (289) [43]. About 2,000 pigs died at a farm in Mueang Prachinburi [44]. By 6 October about 1,200 had been removed [45].
The prime minister visited on 4 October, inspected Fort Chakraphong Hospital and visited two shelters [29]. He called Prachinburi the hardest-hit flood area at that time [46].
Relief registration through the Tang Rath application opened at 08:00 on 2 October for people with a permanent home affected between 15 May and 30 September, and Prachinburi is on the list of provinces covered [47]. The rates are 9,000 baht per household for flooding of any length with property damage, and 5,000 baht for homes surrounded by water for more than 7 days, with 2,000,000 baht per death [48].
The Commerce Minister packed 2,000 relief kits for Prachinburi on 2 October [49]. On 6 October ministers and deputy ministers handed out 3,600 boxed meals with water across hospitals, shelters and communities [50].
On 7 October the prime minister said he had learned of a provincial letter asking for the Ban Sang district chief to be moved for not cooperating, and ordered him investigated [1]. The letter is dated 30 September and was signed by the previous governor on his last day before retirement. The allegation in it is not a disciplinary finding [51].
The chief said he accepted the order and had done his best [52]. The acting governor asked the public not to focus on the dispute while the flood response continued [18].
On 3 October the Thai Meteorological Department said 4-7 October would bring accumulated rain, heavy in places, and named Kabin Buri especially on 5 October [53]. That forecast window has passed, so check the department's current warning.
The Krap flood map shows each Prachinburi report as a pin with the place, the time it was filed, the depth in centimetres when one was recorded, the road status, and a photo when there is one. Check the time on each pin, because water levels change quickly.
Route search takes a start and a destination in Thailand and draws the fastest driving road plus up to three alternatives when they exist. It lists reports within about 500 m of the chosen road, and an empty list isn't the same as a clear road.
Heavy rain flooded low sections of Highway 304 on 22 September 2026 [2].
Ban Sang, where the acting governor said Bang Taen was still critical on 7 October [18].
DDPM counted 60,317 households in 7 districts at 06:00 on 8 October 2026 [4].
DDPM reported 19 deaths on 7 and 8 October. Earlier provincial counts were 5 on 1 October, 7 on 2 October and 9 on 4 October.
It depends on the road. 19 reports say small cars cannot pass and 1 says the road is blocked.
Not as of 7 October, when it had moved out all of its patients [6].
At 00:00 on 8 October 2026, Thailand time.
No. Krap collects public flood reports and doesn't issue official warnings or dispatch rescue.
