Flooding hits Sukhothai heart

Flooding raged into the heart of Sukhothai Sunday, just a few days after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra visited the province and announced that the situation there would soon return to normal.

 

Despite allout efforts, floodwater level already soared to about 50 centimetres in the economic zones of the province. 
Relevant officials, as of press time, were still struggling to fill holes and leaking spots of embankment along the Yom River. They initially thought that their giant sandbags plus gabions would be able to block the water from seeping into town and causing inundation.
