Heavy flooding in Chiang Mai on Friday morning

[webfact]

 

Many areas of the Muang district in Chiang Mai are heavily flooded this morning (Friday) after heavy rain throughout last night.

 

Police were out in force this morning to direct traffic, which was moving at a snail’s pace, especially on the flooded airport approach road. Motorists leaving the airport were being advised to exit via the cargo terminal building and the Lotus intersection on Chiang Mai-Hod Road.

 

Ton Payom intersection was temporarily closed this morning due to heavy flooding, while a number of schools have beenforced to suspend classes.

Drove by Immigration about 1pm, it was all dry again.

A case of flash flood like it happens everywhere else in the world when rainfall is too intense to be absorbed, more than "heavy flooding".

I was told, reliably, that during a flash flood years ago kids swam across Loi Kroh.
