The Ubon Ratchathani Zoo has closed indefinitely, due to heavy flooding of surrounding and the main access to the zoo, but the animals there are not yet affected.

 

Attapon Srihayrun, director of the Zoological Park Organisation of Thailand, offered an assurance today (Thursday) that there are enough food supplies for the approximately 600 animals in the zoo for about a month.

 

He said that a sandbag wall had been erected to protect the zone in which all the animals are kept and displayed to the public, which is still safe from flooding. The main access to the zoo and the tourist service area are, however, submerged, making it inconvenient and possibly unsafe for visits by tourists.

Send a compensation letter to the governor... loss of income.

Do not know bout the zoo, but saw some shots on the Thai news of houses flooded up to roof level. Most roofs were inhabited by dogs trying to sit the flood out. Some bodies were being retrieved as well.
