Does Prawet flood? Risk level 4 of 5

Also written Praves.

L4High — significant 2011 + recurring waist-deep flooding

Prawet is high risk. It was significantly inundated in the 2011 great flood and still sees recurring waist-deep water in the worst monsoon weeks. Ground-floor and podium units need a hard look, and past water is a question to put to the juristic office.

Ranked 16 of 50 Bangkok districts, riskiest first.

How this level is set

RealData scores each of Bangkok’s 50 khet from 0 to 5 against BMA Drainage Department records, JICA flood-frequency reports and 2011 great flood inundation mapping. The layer is district-level, not coordinate-level, and is reviewed once a year after the BMA monsoon report.

Prawet flood risk — frequently asked questions

Does Prawet flood in Bangkok?▾

Prawet is high risk. It was significantly inundated in the 2011 great flood and still sees recurring waist-deep water in the worst monsoon weeks. Ground-floor and podium units need a hard look, and past water is a question to put to the juristic office.

Was Prawet affected by the 2011 Bangkok flood?▾

Yes. Prawet sits inside the 2011 inundation zone — the flood that reached the northern and eastern khet and held for weeks. Its current level reflects that history.

Is it safe to buy a condo in Prawet?▾

Flood level is one input, not a verdict. Check the building itself: ground-floor height above the soi, whether parking is at grade, and what the juristic office says about past water. The Prawet score tells you the baseline you are starting from.
