Pa Sak River Reaches Critical Level in Lom Sak, Phetchabun

On August 1, 2026, local authorities in Lom Sak district, Phetchabun province, declared a 'red flag' alert as the Pa Sak River reached a critical water level. According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the municipal government has advised residents living in low-lying areas and along the riverbanks to immediately move their belongings to higher ground and prepare essential supplies.

While the water level at the Tan Diao Bridge has not yet overflowed its banks, flooding has already been reported in several areas, affecting residential homes and agricultural land. Some earthen embankments along the river have also suffered breaches. The region remains under heavy cloud cover with intermittent rainfall, leading officials to maintain a 24-hour surveillance protocol.

For residents and travelers in the area, this situation necessitates extreme caution. Those planning to visit or currently staying in Lom Sak should monitor official government announcements closely and avoid low-lying zones near the river. It remains to be confirmed how long the critical water levels will persist and whether the current rainfall will lead to further breaches in the riverbank defenses. Travelers are advised to check local traffic and safety updates before proceeding through the district.
