Chiang Rai Faces Third Major Flood as Mae Sai River Overflows:

Chiang Rai experienced its third major flood of the year as the Mae Sai River overflowed, affecting border communities and the Sa Lom Joy market. Early on August 14, floodwaters surged, prompting shopkeepers to move goods to safety. Local officials responded with sandbags to limit flooding, mostly confined to riverbank areas. Neighboring Tachileik in Myanmar suffered more extensive damage, particularly in the Tha Lo market.
