More than 200 families in Nakhon Sawan’s Chumsaeng district have been marooned by floodwaters for several weeks.


“We are running out of drinking water,” an unnamed local resident said on Sunday. 

 

He said although local administrative bodies had delivered drinking water by boat, there was not enough. 

 

“We also can’t use the toilets. We need help,” he said. 

 

The flooding situation in Nakhon Sawan serious is serious, affecting more than 41,000 families. 

 

People living in the Koh Yom and Koh Yuan communities and near the mouth of the Chao Phraya River in particular face deep floodwaters. 

 

In some hard-hit spots, floodwaters are nearly two metres deep.
