The wedding party for the young couple “Kalaya and Thammarat’’ in tambon Thap Phueng was in full swing when the Yom River burst its banks, rapidly submerging many of the community's houses. As floodwaters descended on the wedding party, guests rushed to move tables and other belongings to higher ground, and helped the host and musicians dismantle the performance stage. In Muang district, overflow from the Yom River hit several communities behind Wat Chai Chumphol in tambon Thanee. By Friday morning, the floodwaters in Muang district had abated.
