Chiang Mai: Heavy rain for several days has caused water from the mountains to overflow into many areas of Chiang Mai, both in the city and several other districts, especially along the Khan River in San Pa Tong and Doi Lor districts. Water has overflowed and flooded houses over a wide area, causing severe hardship for locals. Although the water level has somewhat receded, they must still watch out for heavy rain, which could cause even more water to overflow.
According to Thai News Agency, the persistent rainfall has led to significant water accumulation from the mountains, which is exacerbating the flood situation in the region. The continuous overflow of water has been particularly severe along the Khan River, leading to widespread flooding and impacting residents' daily lives. Authorities are on high alert, monitoring the situation closely to provide timely assistance to affected areas.
Residents in the affected districts are being urged to stay vigilant and prepare for potential further flooding, as weather forecasts indicate the possibility of more heavy rain. Local officials are coordinating efforts to manage the flood response and ensure the safety of the populace during this challenging period.
