The Thai Meteorological Department warned Bangkok and surrounding provinces of heavy to very heavy rainfall from September 24-27. By September 26, many roads in the capital were deeply flooded. In some areas, water levels rose 10-20 cm, severely disrupting traffic.
According to The Nation , on September 26, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt signed an order expanding the scope of areas identified as flood-affected by natural disasters from 3 to all 50 districts of the capital.
The disaster quickly impacted the entertainment industry. Thai Hyper reported on September 26th that Channel 3’s CH3 Bangkok Aerobic 2026 program was postponed due to prolonged heavy rain. Organizers said a new schedule would be announced later.
Several events for idol fans have also had to change plans. According to Thai Hyper , the graduation ceremony of idol Punch Sumomo, scheduled for September 26th at Donki Mall Thonglor, could not take place as planned. Events by entertainment companies Catsolute, A Lot Of Tone, and CGM48 were also canceled or postponed due to heavy rain and flooding.
Singer Ryall Kachabandit’s planned appearance at the Aroi Sam Mae Tak-Su-Hai event on September 26th has also been postponed to October 5th. The organizers stated that the decision was made to ensure the safety of the artist and his team amidst travel difficulties. A press conference promoting the film Murder in the Kitchen , originally scheduled for September 28th, has been postponed indefinitely.
Similarly, actress Kimberley Anne Woltemas said her film crew had to halt filming in the Liap Duan – Ram Inthra area due to flooding. The actress and her team helped move their dog out of the flooded area.
Bangkok also hosts many international arts events during this period. The Bangkok International Film Festival 2026 runs from September 13th to 27th, with screenings at various locations throughout the city. The screening schedule for September 26th and 27th remains unchanged on the festival’s official website.
According to published announcements, the postponement or cancellation of many events was primarily due to weather conditions, flooding, and difficulties in transportation for artists, audiences, and crew.
The Thai Meteorological Department forecasts that Bangkok and surrounding areas will continue to face the risk of heavy rain until September 27th.
