A plea for urgent help emerged as an eight year old boy found himself stranded behind an apartment building in rising floodwaters in Chiang Rai. His aunt posted a distress call on social media, requesting immediate assistance as they had lost contact with the boy and feared for his safety.

 

Yesterday, September 11, a reporter highlighted the severe flooding situation in Chiang Rai province, exacerbated by continuous rainfall and the relentless flow of floodwaters. The water levels have surged to between 1 and 2 metres in some low-lying areas, significantly impacting the locals. Many people have become trapped in areas where the water level is high and the current is strong.

 

Residents have been constantly posting calls for help on social media. Among these, a recent post stood out, seeking assistance for an eight year old boy who was stranded behind the PP Home apartment building.

 

 

 

 

“My eight year old nephew is stuck in the building behind PP Home. Please help my nephew. He is not with his parents, and we can’t contact him. He hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday morning.”

 

The boy is reportedly trapped behind the PP Home apartments, located in Moo 7, Ban Ko Sai, Soi 10, near the Ko Sai Shrine. The contact number provided for assistance is 0827656650, reported KhaoSod.
