BANGKOK – Persistent flooding across southern Thailand has forced the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) to suspend ten train services and adjust several others after floodwaters submerged tracks in Songkhla province. The cancellations, announced Saturday, affect major routes connecting Bangkok to southern destinations including Hat Yai, Sungai Kolok, and Padang Besar.

The SRT confirmed that rising waters have rendered tracks between Wat Khuan Meed and Chana stations impassable, necessitating the immediate suspension of several Special Express and Rapid services until conditions improve. Affected passengers holding advance tickets can obtain full refunds at any station nationwide.

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) announced the suspension of 10 southern train services on Saturday as severe flooding in Songkhla and nearby provinces has left sections of the tracks impassable.

In addition to the suspended long-distance services, multiple local trains have been either shortened or canceled entirely. Key adjustments include splitting the Surat Thani–Sungai Kolok service into separate northern and southern segments and truncating routes at intermediate stations like Thung Song Junction and Yala.
