Concerns as Nan River in Phitsanulok climbs to record high

Parts of the province’s Wang Thong and Bang Krathum districts are already flooded due to the overflowing Wang Thong River and Khlong Chompoo.
The Nan River rose to the record level and was flowing at 825 cubic metres per second at 5am and was three metres away from bursting its banks.
Provincial officials placed the Yom River basin on flood watch due to the year's largest volume of run-offs from upstream Phrae province.
The diversion of water into Khlong Mem on Tuesday and Wednesday will cause the inundation of riverside homes in Phrom Phiram, Muang and Bang Rakam districts, officials warned.
In Wang Thong's tambon Wang Pikul, floodwater had severely eroded a 10-metre section of the village road and inundated farmland.
Wang Pikul pig farm operators whose pigs drowned after the flood barrier bust on Monday were forced to sell the carcasses cheaply and moved their remaining pigs to higher ground.
One pig farmer, identified only as Montha, said she lost over half of her 280 pigs, with the surviving pigs kept in a temporarily-built enclosure on a road.
Her family is sleeping on the roadside as their one-storey home is flooded.
