Bangkok, 28 September 2026 — The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said it is providing assistance at Suvarnabhumi Airport for people affected by weather-related travel conditions in Bangkok and nearby areas, including international visitors, passengers who remain at the airport, airport and airline personnel, immigration officers and other staff continuing to work. TAT and Thailand Privilege Card Co. said they prepared more than 1,000 food sets, including cup noodles and rice meals, along with drinking water for distribution on 28 and 29 September, with executives and staff volunteers helping at the terminal. https://www.tatnews.org/2026/09/tat-and-thailand-privilege-card-provide-assistance-amid-weather-related-travel-conditions/
In a separate visitor update published the same day, TAT said most tourism areas, attractions and visitor facilities across Bangkok were still operating, including Siam, Ratchaprasong, Chinatown, Talat Noi, Song Wat, and major historic sites such as the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. TAT also said Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports remained open and that the Airport Rail Link, Red Line, BTS Skytrain and MRT were operating, while warning that some road journeys in Bangkok and surrounding areas may take longer and that travellers should check current conditions before setting out. https://www.tatnews.org/2026/09/weather-and-travel-conditions-in-bangkok-and-surrounding-areas-visitor-information/?utm_source=openai
