Government offices, schools and hospitals were all inundated and traffic was brought to a standstill.
 
Many vehicles that could not be moved to higher ground were damaged. 
 
Particularly affected was Route 41 southbound and heading towards Bangkok. A five kilometer stretch from Khao Pha Thong to the Nong Wa intersection was under 1 meter of water with huge tailbacks.
