The waterfalls are in Doi Inthanon National Park and Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Khomsan Suwan-ampa, director of Zone 10 Disaster Prevention and Mitigation office in Lampang, said Chiang Mai province was about 90% cloud covered, with thunderstorms and steady rain. The northern meteorological office has predicted heavy rain in most parts of Chiang Mai, particularly Om Koi, Hot, Doi Tao, Chom Thong and San Pa Tong.
