In Ubon Ratchathani’s Muang district, residents of Wang Daeng community along the Mul River are living in tents set up along a road after being flooded out of their homes. Water levels in the Mul and Mekong rivers have risen significantly in the province, slowing the run-off of floodwater. The Mul was within 80 centimetres of topping its banks in Warin Chamrap district, threatening to inundate five riverside communities. Meanwhile, Lop Buri’s Lam Sonthi district was largely underwater yesterday morning following heavy rain and runoff from neighbouring Nakhon Ratchasima upstream. Soldiers and provincial officials boarded flat-bottom boats to reach residents struggling to cope.
