What has changed
Crews began filling a sunken section of Samsen Road in Bangkok’s Dusit district late on Monday, 9 November, after plugging a leak, according to a district update carried by traffic station FM91. The affected stretch is in front of the Boon Rawd Brewery premises. The district had asked drivers to avoid the area while crews inspected and repaired the road.
What the district reported
Dusit district said an opening in a drain associated with construction had allowed water to leak and the road surface to sink. In its late-evening update, the district said the contractor had plugged the opening and was beginning to fill the damaged area. The update did not give a reopening time.
In a separate timeline, the district said the contractor had already blocked vehicles from the immediate work area before the subsidence. The advice to find another route applies to travel past the affected stretch in Dusit. Samsen Road runs beyond that area, so check the location against your route before changing plans.
Check the route before travelling
If you are taking a taxi or driving past the site, check the latest updates from Dusit district or FM91 before leaving and follow any posted diversions. Allow extra time if your route takes you through the area. If you are being picked up or dropped off nearby, agree on an accessible spot with your driver or destination.
As of the morning of 10 November, the latest district repair update available to Thailand Navigator reported backfilling in progress. It did not confirm that traffic had resumed through the work area.
