(Bangkok Post file photo)CHIANG MAI - Mae Klang and Mae Ya waterfalls in Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai's Chom Thong district have been closed to tourists for safety reason after heavy rain and subsequent run-off. The heavy rain that pounded Chom Thong district from 3am, followed by run-off from the mountain, caused water to overflow the banks of Mae Klang stream to flood Muang Klang village. Khomsan Suwan-ampa, director of Zone 10 Disaster Prevention and Mitigation office in Lampang, said about 90% of Chiang Mai was cloudy with thunderstorms and heavy rain. The northern meteorological office predicted heavy rain on Tuesday in most parts of Chiang Mai, particularly Om Koi, Hot, Doi Tao, Chom Thong and San Pa Tong.
