A small reservoir wall in San Kamphaeng district, Chiang Mai, collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water that inundated at least four villages.
The floods caused extensive property damage, including approximately 100 houses in Ban Mae Tad, drowned poultry, and rendered several local roads impassable.
Heavy rainfall over several days is suspected to have caused the reservoir wall to fail, with authorities distributing sandbags to downstream residents and planning to assess whether to repair or rebuild the damaged structure.
