Flooding in two districts of Nakhon Ratchasima

Yesterday 10:28Key points summarised by AI

Heavy rainfall triggered flash floods in Nakhon Ratchasima's Pak Chong and Wang Nam Khiew districts, with water from Khao Yai mountains surging into Lamtakong stream and surrounding villages.
Rising, murky waters in Lamtakong stream forced a bridge closure after a motorcycle was swept away (rider safe); mud and debris also impacted villages in Wang Nam Khiew.
Authorities advised Nakhon Ratchasima communities near Lamtakong stream to secure valuables and cautioned tourists visiting Khao Yai National Park about potential travel hazards.
Separately, a flash flood in Mae Hong Son's Ban Sivader devastated the village, washing away households, bridges, and motorcycles, prompting officials to deploy heavy machinery for debris removal and aid.
