Bangkok Traffic Cameras: 1,800+ Live Cams

Bangkok Metro Coverage Areas

Bangkok's traffic is shaped by an elevated expressway network layered over a dense urban grid of arterial roads. With over 10 million residents and millions of daily commuters, the city's infrastructure operates near or beyond capacity during peak periods, with the BEM expressway network alone processing over 1.1 million trips daily. Our camera network provides visibility into the expressways, ring roads, and street-level corridors that define Bangkok's transportation system.

Camera feeds for Bangkok, Bangkok Metropolitan are sourced from DOH Thailand, which operates the official traffic monitoring network.

About Bangkok Traffic Cameras

TrafficVision.Live provides free access to 1,800+ live traffic cameras throughout Bangkok and the surrounding metropolitan area. According to INRIX 2024 data, Bangkok is ranked as the 13th most congested city globally, with drivers losing an estimated 74 hours annually to traffic jams. Our platform aggregates feeds from the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT), the Department of Highways (DOH), and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration traffic systems, giving you comprehensive coverage of one of Southeast Asia's largest and most congested cities. These cameras are part of the world's largest traffic camera directory with 135,000+ live feeds from 600+ official sources across 130+ countries.

Whether you are planning a commute from Nonthaburi, checking expressway conditions before heading to Suvarnabhumi Airport, or monitoring traffic around a Ratchadaphisek Road intersection, our Bangkok camera network provides real-time visibility into the city's transportation infrastructure. View live feeds from the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, Si Rat Expressway, Chalong Rat Expressway, Kanchanaphisek Outer Ring Road, and the entire elevated expressway grid. Street cameras cover major arterials including Sukhumvit Road, Silom Road, Rama IV Road, Phetchaburi Road, and Lat Phrao Road — giving you both the highway overview and the ground-level detail. Users can also monitor street-level views along major arterials in districts like Asok and Phrom Phong to navigate around surface street gridlock and local construction.

Key Bangkok Traffic Corridors

Understanding Bangkok's road hierarchy is essential for navigating the city. The elevated expressway system offers faster travel when traffic is flowing, but can become gridlocked during peak hours — leaving drivers trapped above the city with no exit options. Monitoring cameras before committing to a route is critical.

Expressway System (EXAT)

Bangkok's elevated expressway network carries the bulk of cross-city traffic. The Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway (First Stage Expressway) runs through the central city between the Din Daeng and Bang Na areas, connecting to the Si Rat Expressway (Second Stage Expressway) which extends north toward Don Mueang and west toward the Thonburi side. The Burapha Withi Expressway links eastern Bangkok to Chonburi and Pattaya, serving as the main route to the Eastern Seaboard industrial zone. During rush hours, all three systems regularly experience severe congestion at the major interchange points — particularly the Din Daeng Toll Plaza and the Dao Kanong junction.

Vibhavadi Rangsit Road

The primary north-south artery connecting central Bangkok to Don Mueang International Airport. This road carries enormous traffic volume and is especially critical for travelers catching domestic flights. The corridor runs parallel to the Airport Rail Link and is served by multiple expressway on-ramps, making it both a commuter route and an airport access road. Congestion is frequent between Lat Phrao and the Don Mueang toll gate.

Sukhumvit Road & Rama IV Road

Sukhumvit Road stretches from central Bangkok to the eastern suburbs and beyond, serving as one of the city's most heavily trafficked surface roads. It runs beneath the BTS Skytrain line and passes through the commercial districts of Asok, Phrom Phong, and Thonglor. Rama IV Road runs east-west through the southern part of the central city, linking Hua Lamphong railway station to the Klong Toei port area. Both roads experience sustained congestion throughout the day, with rush-hour periods extending well beyond typical schedules.

Silom Road & Sathorn Road

The twin arteries of Bangkok's financial district. These parallel roads carry heavy daytime traffic from commuters and commercial vehicles serving the city's central business district. Sathorn Road connects directly to the Taksin Bridge crossing to the Thonburi side. During evening rush, southbound Sathorn traffic backs up from the bridge approach for several kilometers.

Bangkok's Legendary Congestion

Bangkok consistently ranks among the most congested cities on the planet. Understanding the patterns behind the gridlock is essential for anyone driving in the city.

Rush Hour Patterns

Morning rush typically runs from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, with the heaviest inbound flow on the northern corridors (Vibhavadi Rangsit, Phahonyothin) and eastern highways (Ramkhamhaeng, Srinakarin). Bangkok residents face some of the world's longest commutes, with an average one-way travel time of 44.7 minutes. Evening rush extends from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and often later, particularly on Fridays and before long weekends.

Unlike many cities where congestion clears by 7 PM, Bangkok frequently remains gridlocked until well past 8 PM on weekdays. Traffic cameras provide the only reliable way to distinguish between "slow" and "completely stopped" — a distinction that matters when you are deciding between an expressway and a surface road.

Monsoon Season Flooding

Bangkok sits on a flat floodplain barely above sea level. During the monsoon season (roughly May through October), heavy rainfall regularly overwhelms the city's drainage system and floods major road surfaces. Areas around Lat Phrao, Ratchadaphisek, and the Sukhumvit sois are particularly flood-prone.

Even moderate rain can transform a 30-minute commute into a multi-hour ordeal. Street cameras provide real-time visual confirmation of water levels on roads — far more useful than text-based traffic reports during flooding events.

Airport Access Routes

Bangkok is served by two international airports, and traffic conditions on the access roads are a constant concern for travelers.

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is reached via Motorway 7 (the fastest route from central Bangkok) and the Bang Na-Trat Highway. The Motorway 7 corridor can back up significantly during peak hours, especially at the toll plaza. The elevated Airport Rail Link provides a rail alternative, but for those driving, cameras on the motorway approach provide critical timing information.

Don Mueang Airport (DMK) is accessed primarily via Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. During rush hours, the surface road can be extremely slow, and the expressway alternative (Si Rat to the Don Mueang Toll Gate) is often similarly congested. Monitoring cameras along both routes before departure is strongly recommended for anyone with a flight to catch.
