Mae Sai. Flooded. Again.

It appears that the lower areas of Mae Sai near the Sai River are flooded again.  Seems the hardest hit are the areas between the Sai Lom market and the Friendship Bridge.  Hard to keep an exact count, but it appears to be the 7th or 8th time this season.  So much for local officials claims that such would not happen again.  Cleanup from the previous and MUCH more drastic floods is still not complete.

And again.  Checked it out yesterday.  From a month ago, VERY little work has been done to clean up the big mess from last fall.  But local officials suggested that most of the money allocated for clean-up and fixing has already gone been spent.  

 

The Sai Lum Joy market was under water again starting at the foot of the customs house.  The pile of compacted mud at the bottom of the customs house hill is still here - perhaps 10% has been removed.

Almost none of the work planned for the banks and dredging of the Sai River through the City has been done.

 

Sad state of affairs.
