Thailand is currently experiencing torrential rain and widespread flooding, with Bangkok's governor declaring all 50 city districts disaster zones. Both Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) airports remain open and flights are operating, but access roads across the city are flooded, causing severe traffic delays and, in some cases, disrupted ground transport such as taxis. Heavy rain is forecast to continue through the weekend, so conditions may change quickly.
