Mae Rim:Heavy rainfall in the Mae Rim District of Chiang Mai Province has led to the temporary closure of Mae Sa and Tat Mok waterfalls. Strong currents and muddy water, caused by flash floods, prompted Doi Suthep-Pui National Park to announce the closures for tourist safety.

According to Thai News Agency, the deluge has also resulted in a landslide on the Mae Rim-Samoeng road in the Pong Yaeng subdistrict. The landslide caused power poles to collapse, damaging a house wall and leading to a power outage in the area. Officials are currently working to clear the debris and restore power. Motorists traveling on the Mae Rim-Samoeng route have been advised to proceed with caution.

In Chachoengsao Province, the Bang Khla District continues to experience severe flooding, with water levels exceeding 1.5 meters in certain areas. Dr. Panadda Wongphudee, along with local rescue teams, has been actively assisting residents by distributing relief packages, food, and evacuating vulnerable individuals such as the elderly and young children. The district receives water from Prachinburi, and the current flooding surpasses previous incidents due to the intensity of the water flow.

Additionally, the flooding has impacted vegetable prices in Rayong Province, particularly affecting the cost of basil leaves. At the Khlong Thom Ban Khai market, prices for basil have surged due to crop destruction caused by the floods. This increase is affecting consumers and food vendors, who are adjusting their practices to maintain meal prices despite the higher costs.

In contrast, Nakhon Ratchasima Province is witnessing a spike in tourism at the Lam Takhong Reservoir, where families are enjoying the scenic views and recreational activities. The reservoir's water levels have risen, providing picturesque landscapes and additional opportunities for outdoor enjoyment.
