After flooding eased in some professional areas, workers have begun a campaign to clear roads and collect dust in city Chiang Mai.

In an effort to revive economic engagement in the typically bustling north tourism area, the Chiang Mai Municipality launched the activity at 5pm on Friday. The job is divided into five sections, including the famous Night Bazaar and the Naowarat Bridge.

Removing trash and debris that waters that had pierced the Ping River’s businesses into the area is one of their top priorities.

Although the situation is improving in some of the city’s designated areas for cleaning, the city cautioned inhabitants to stay vigilant. The river is also red-flagged, meaning water levels are at or near a critical level.

At 5 p.m., the Naowarat Bridge’s valley detail was estimated at 4.23 meters, after moving around that mark from 8 am all day long.

According to the provincial water office, the city still has about 3 million square meters of floodwater that needs to be emptied every two days.

Chiang Mai University, one of the recently flooded places on Friday night, was hit by discharge from the rain that soaked Doi Suthep.

In the evening, the academy announced that things had settled back down. On its Facebook page, it stated that” the traffic routes and the CMU Transit service are now operating as usual.”

On Saturday, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra may travel to Chiang Mai from Chiang Rai.

She arrived in Chiang Rai on Friday evening and organized a meeting with leaders to distribute assistance to those affected by flood in the northern region. Among the towns in Chiang Rai that were the most afflicted were Muang and Mae Sai.

The State Railway of Thailand ( SRT ) provides buses to Lamphun and Chiang Mai, but Northern trains continue to operate at Lampang Station. &nbsp,

The SRT stated that it would recoup all discounted coach tickets purchased between September 26 and September 30.
