Floodwater submerges Lop Buri district
Lop Buri’s Lam Sonthi district was largely underwater early Thursday morning following days of heavy rain and massive runoff from neighbouring Nakhon Ratchasima upstream.
By 2am the floodwater was a metre deep at the Lam Phaya Klang Animal Husbandry and Research Centre in Tambon Nong Ri and at Ban Wang Thong School in Tambon Khao Ruak.
Soldiers and provincial officials in charge of disaster prevention and mitigation boarded flat-bottom boats to reach residents struggling to cope.
