The Bang Chomsri sluice gate in Sing Buri breached again Friday morning, causing water from Chao Phraya to flow to flood the province and adjacent Lop Buri.
The strong torrents of Chao Phraya caused a part of embankment of the sluice gate to collapse by 6 metres.
The water from Chao Phraya then flowed into the Chieng Rak Canal, affecting the people in Tambon Chieng Rak, Tambon Phochai and Tambon Thong Ain in In Buri district and Tambon Huaphai in Muang district. The water would also flow to adjacent Thawung and Ban Mee districts in Lop Buri.
Officials were trying to fix the breached part.
Earlier, the sluice gate was breached and officials have recently fixed it.
