Does Saphan Sung flood? Risk level 4 of 5

L4High — significant 2011 + recurring waist-deep flooding

Saphan Sung 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 17 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.

Saphan Sung flood risk — frequently asked questions

Does Saphan Sung flood in Bangkok?▾

Saphan Sung 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 Saphan Sung affected by the 2011 Bangkok flood?▾

Yes. Saphan Sung 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 Saphan Sung?▾

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 Saphan Sung score tells you the baseline you are starting from.
