webfact Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Video: Heavy rains lash Chiang Mai - Mae Jo Uni roads inundated Photos from Facebook: Aekkapon Poungthong A video posted to Facebook showed the effect of heavy rains on an outbound road at Mae Jo University in Chiang Mai. The poster - Aekkapon Poungthong - said that the old road to San Sai was impassable to small vehicles. He thanked a man who helped him with his own motorcycle for lifting it to more shallow water. People were pictured wading in knee deep water that gobbled up all motorbikes. Thai Rath reported that 70% of the north of Thailand was hit by heavy rain with overnight temperatures a cool 22 to 25 C.

NCC1701A Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Thai kids love to play in the flood waters. It is just part of their culture. Like growing up on a scooter from the the time they are born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just1Voice Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm not that far from San Sai, but where I'm at, we've had no flooding at all, and only moderate rain for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
