A section of the road near Phra Samut Chedi-Phra Chulachomklao Fort Intersection looked more like a canal, with local people commenting the inundation was "unusually high" this year. The water was reported to have reached 80 centimetres deep in front of Phra Samut Chedi municipal office and up to 1.5 metres near Wat Laem Fapha on a minor road off Suk Sawat. Suk Sawat Road links the area to western Bangkok.
