The Chiang Mai CM108 Facebook page posted images of water flooding into Chiang Mai city center after the flood barrier at Kad Luang (Warorot Market) collapsed. Floodwaters have reached Kaeo Nawarat Road and the Youth Court intersection.
Chiang Mai Governor Nirat Pongsitthithaworn revealed that after midnight, entering Saturday, October 5, the Ping River water level was at 5.21 meters and is likely to rise further. This is faster than the Royal Irrigation Department's prediction that it would reach 5.20 meters at 2 AM.
He further stated that, looking at the water situation from Mae Taeng, Mae Rim, Chiang Dao, and Phrao districts flowing into the city, Chiang Mai residents will have to deal with this flood for more than 3 days, possibly 4-5 days. Officials will try to drain the water as quickly as possible.

This is a sad ongoing story at the moment. Some reports indicate that some elephants drowned as they were chained and keepers couldn't get to them to release them.

The more climate changes, the more it stays the same in some respects it seems.

On Saturday night, October 19, heavy rain fell in Uthai Thani province, causing flash floods to overflow into many areas, especially in Ban Rai district. The water current was very strong, sweeping cars away with the flow and destroying several buildings.
A Facebook user named Phimphat Manlachet, whose house is located opposite Ban Rai Temple, posted a video clip showing the flash flood rushing in and demolishing the entire stretch of the temple wall.
