Flash Floods Collapse Major Road in Sukhothai:

Flash floods and the Yom River have collapsed a 300-metre section of Highway 1195 in Wang Yai, Sukhothai, submerging farmland and affecting thousands of residents. While water levels are receding, several areas remain on high alert. The road damage has forced officials to close the route, with heavy machinery deployed for repairs. Charity groups from Chon Buri are assisting flood victims by donating essential supplies. The floods have impacted seven districts, affecting nearly 8,000 households and damaging over 43,000 rai of farmland.

Sad to hear so much damage. However, flooding happens every year during monsoon season. One would think the city could plan for this one time and make so it never happens again. If they wanted to though. Apparently, it is easier to allow the floods to hit and replace the damage at no expense to the city. People who lost houses and ruined lands have to fend for themselves.
