Planning to visit the historical sites of Ayutthaya on 21 and 22 September.

However cannot find any information with regard to eventual floodings

How is the status at this moment ??? and any predictions for next week ??

At the moment things aren't too bad, apart from Hantra district where a large number of homes are flooded. However, it's not really a tourist area.

The only tourist attraction currently flooded is one of the floating markets (the new one).

Things are expected to get worse, with Monday/Tuesday being the peak water level.

The authorities are doing their best to protect the town, with sandbags and barriers. We really don't know how effective these will be, though. Probably have a better idea of the situation over the weekend.

Putting this in perspective, though, whilst there's been a lot of flooding over the past few years, it hasn't affected any of the tourist destinations, apart from Wat Chai Wattanaram, which now has a new defence system.

No need to put your trip on hold, in my opinion.

Seconded I would just go to Ayutthaya anyhow as said there must be places still OK.

Old Sukhothai City where the King Ramkhamhaeng historical park is ( Muang Kao ) is fine some tour operators say Sukhothai is flooded, yes parts of Sukhothai are flooded and the Sukhothai New city get flooded.

Tourist told Sukhothai Sri Satchanalai National Park was flooded he went there yesterday and it was OK.

There's a lot of mis-information out there.
