Jor Sor 100 traffic radio was also inundated with images of flooded roads and damage caused by the downpour. Some cars parked in the Rama 9 area were submerged up to the passenger seat level.

The busy Ladphrao junction was totally inundated. Lengthy traffic snarls are expected for the Friday night Bangkok rush hour, especially around Pathum Thani and Nonthaburi.
