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.

Sathorn flood risk — frequently asked questions

Does Sathorn flood in Bangkok?▾

Sathorn is one of the driest khet in Bangkok. Comparatively high ground with BMA drainage that held through the 2011 great flood; street water clears within hours of a heavy storm.

Was Sathorn affected by the 2011 Bangkok flood?▾

Largely no. Sathorn stayed outside the worst of the 2011 inundation, protected by elevation and the King’s Dyke barrier line. Its current level reflects that.

Is it safe to buy a condo in Sathorn?▾

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 Sathorn score tells you the baseline you are starting from.
