Heavy downpours on the Thai-Myanmar border caused a flash flood in Mae Hong Son province yesterday that killed one farmer and left another missing.
The flood, which occurred in tambon Pang Moo of Muang district at 1.30am yesterday, also damaged some farmlands and a bridge at the entrance of the Buddha Barami Lok Udom monastery.
Out of four people swept away by flood torrents, officials retrieved the body of 40-year-old De (last name unknown) from under a pile of splintered wood and rescued two farmers aged 20 and 55 from a nearby hill, whilst the 53-year-old man remained missing.
