This year in Thailand, unusually heavy and intense rainfall has led to flooding in some regions, drawing considerable international attention. Extensive media coverage has caused many tourists to hesitate about visiting. The Tourism Authority of Thailand also announced today the latest flood situation. Currently, only a few areas in the central region, Ayutthaya Province, and the local World Heritage sites remain closed. All other major tourist attractions are unaffected, and all airports are operating normally. Travelers can visit with peace of mind.

Other major tourist destinations across Thailand remain open, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Sukhothai, Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Pattaya, Koh Chang, Rayong, Phuket, Krabi, Trang, and Koh Samui, all functioning as usual and welcoming visitors. The weather conditions in all southern provinces are normal, with a steady flow of tourists. Rail services to the south and northeast are running as scheduled, while trains to the central and northern regions have been rerouted.

The most popular tourist attractions in Bangkok are also unaffected by the floods, including the Sukhumvit Road area, the Ratchaprasong shopping district, Banglamphu, the Grand Palace, and major Buddhist temple sites.
