I came out from Central Bangkok to the airport this morning and there was no evidence at all of any flooding on that route.
I took the airport rail yesterday (Friday) afternoon and the only flooding I saw was on Lat Krabang Road. Cars were still navigating it, but slowly. Every other road was wet from the current storm, but did not show flooding.

Work was underway to further build the embankments on the north side of the airport. It appeared they increased the height of the berms at least an additional meter.
