Thailand is underwater today -- Massive floods sweep away buildings in Chiang Rai

"Thailand's Chiang Rai province is battling severe flooding following continuous heavy rain overnight which continued into the morning. The heavy rain caused flash floods and mountain overflows in several districts, with Phaya Mengrai and Wiang Chai being the worst-hit. A large volume of rainwater rushed down from the surrounding mountains into low-lying areas, causing a sudden rise in water levels and widespread waterlogging. Residents were forced to evacuate quickly and move belongings to higher ground. In many areas, flooding reached waist-high, with strong currents damaging property and sweeping away belongings." HAG
