Across Thailand, a cruel drought takes terrible toll
In Pathum Thani’s Lam Luk Ka district, the Lam Luk Ka-Thanya Buri Road in Moo 8 of Tambon Lat Sawai has been damaged by subsidence, causing a 1.5-metre-deep and 100-metre-long section to collapse yesterday, prompting authorities to close the road as a safety precaution. In Chon Buri’s Sri Racha district, the Nong Kho Haeng Reservoir in Tambon Nong Kham was at its driest in 13 years, revealing the two-kilometre Nong Kho-Hoobbon Road that had previously been submerged.
