Rajamangala Stadium surrounded by floodwater, cars nearly submerged to their roofs

On 26 September 2026, the Rajamangala National Stadium found itself submerged in floodwater, with the surrounding area experiencing widespread flooding. Several parked cars near the stadium were nearly submerged up to their roofs. The flooding impact extended to Thai national athletes competing nearby. Heavy rain across Thailand has led to extensive flooding, particularly affecting Bangkok.

Wuttichai "M" Masuk, a former Asian Games gold-medal-winning boxer, provided an update from the Hua Mak Sports Complex, which houses the Sports Authority of Thailand, the Rajamangala National Stadium, and several national sports associations. The complex, situated near Ramkhamhaeng University on Ramkhamhaeng Road, has suffered significant flooding.

Vehicles belonging to officials, staff, and visitors were seen submerged in floodwater. Moreover, the velodrome used by the Thai Cycling Association for competition and training was inundated with floodwater. As heavy rain is forecasted to continue in Bangkok throughout 26 September and into 27 September, water levels are expected to rise further. Downstream flow from northern Thailand and Ayutthaya is also anticipated to reach Bangkok.
