Former TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn says the Bangkok flooding (about 300-320 mm of rain over 24-27 Sep 2026) mainly disrupts travel links: roads, airport access, and flights. Tourism is not in national crisis. Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang remain open, but Thai Airways cut about 30% of flights temporarily. TAT now expects Chinese Golden Week arrivals could fall 5-10% from plan. Practical steps: for Bangkok-based tours and hotels, plan for late or cancelled transfers, and consider steering guests toward Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Samui or Pattaya. Central and eastern provinces like Chonburi and Rayong face more car-based trip losses.
