Colder winter adds snap to high seasonTourists play on swings under decades-old palmyra palm trees, which have become a new tourist attraction at Tat Hai village in Nong Bua Lam Phu's Nong Saeng district. Yesterday, several hours of rain caused floods in Chiang Mai and Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces as an incoming high pressure system sparked volatile weather. In Chiang Mai, flooded roads in the city were impassable for small vehicles, many of which broke down in a highway underpass. During the weekend, tourists began flocking in greater numbers to popular highland spots such as Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai province and Phu Thab Boek in Phetchabun province. Phitsanulok province also faces an influx of tourists over winter at its Ban Nam Juang village, Chat Trakan district.
