Five park employees and nearby residents were briefly trapped in Tham Pla-Namtok Pha Suea National Park before being saved by the rising waters, which also toppled windows and roads.
When rivers suddenly swept through the location, some people in tambon Mok Cham Pae had to walk plants. Highway 1095, the principal route connecting Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai, was blocked by the floods, which even uprooted trees and moved stones.
The Huai Pha Tambon Administrative Organization’s deputy chief, Sukila Suwattanamethee, described the situation as severe with significant damage to people utilities, structures, homes, farms, and cattle.
Officials in the provinces and districts are putting a lot of effort into reducing the tragedy.
