A significant landslide near Ban Doi Tiw School in Nan province has expanded to approximately 1.92 hectares, with satellite imagery confirming ongoing ground movement and new cracks in structures.
The area is under close watch due to its geological composition of silt and shale, classifying it as having moderate to very high landslide risk, particularly during heavy rainfall.
Authorities are prioritizing the safety of students, teachers, and residents, coordinating preventive measures as landslides, first observed between May and July 2025, continue to expand within the school grounds.
