The Ping River in northern Thailand has reached its highest level in 50 years, resulting in flash floods that have claimed three lives and caused significant disruption.
Residents and tourists in Chiang Mai were forced to navigate thigh-high floodwaters, with emergency services using elephants to assist in evacuations and deliver supplies to affected communities.
Public health official Saritdet Charoenchai reported that three fatalities occurred due to the floods, including a man electrocuted and a woman who died in a mudslide.
The ongoing floods in Thailand have been linked to the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, with 20 provinces currently affected and fears of more flooding in the capital, Bangkok.
