Severe flooding reported in Thailand’s northern and northeastern provinces

 

 

Several northern and northeastern provinces of Thailand are flooded today, after they were lashed by torrential rains induced by a monsoon trough.

 

In Wiang Sa district, of the northern province of Nan, civilian and military rescue teams were dispatched to Tambon Klang Wiang on Friday night to help evacuate residents to higher ground and to provide them with food and drinking water.

 

In some villages, the floodwater is two metres deep, leaving residents unable to leave after a flash food swept into Wiang Sa district.
