Phichit: Flooding in Phichit remains a concern, with water levels rising for the second day. Meanwhile, villagers are happy that the government has approved additional relief funds and are preparing to repair their homes to avoid the flooding.

According to Thai News Agency, flooding in Phichit Province, particularly in Rang Nok Subdistrict, Sam Ngam District, continues to rise for the second day today, following the arrival of water from Sukhothai Province. The Sam Ngam District water level gauge is rising by 1 centimeter per day. While not much, combined with the existing water level, it has caused difficulties for villagers, who have had to row their boats to carry out daily activities, particularly going to work. The area has been flooded for over three months. Villagers are pleased with the government’s approval of additional relief funds, saying they will use the funds to repair their homes, including raising the floors, to prepare for the expected annual flooding next year.
