In Chiang Mai, although the water level has somewhat receded, rain is still pouring down. For example, Chang Klan Road, an economic area and the location of many hotels, is still flooded with water approximately 30-50 centimeters deep along the entire road. Small vehicles are having difficulty traveling. Tourists traveling to the airport must use the trucks that each hotel has prepared to travel in and out.
At Kad Luang Chiang Mai, although the water has receded in many areas, they still have to deal with mudslides that have damaged houses and shops. Many business owners were unable to move their goods in time and many of their goods were stained with mud. It is estimated that each shop has sustained hundreds
of thousands of baht in damages. Most shops were still closed this morning, but some shops chose to come in to inspect the damage and clean it up immediately while the mud was still easily washed off, especially shops with a large number of products, such as an old watch shop that also has electrical appliances. The shop owner said that he has opened a shop at Kad Luang for more than 30 years and in his 72 years of life, he has never seen water flooding that is higher than the sidewalk leading into the shop, so the estimated damage is in the millions of baht.
While the Ping River water level at the P.1 measurement point, Nawarat Bridge, the water level has continuously decreased to below 3.80 meters today, causing Chiang Mai Municipality to start a big cleaning in the area where the water has receded but is still full of mud, including the Rattanakosin Bridge-Chedi Khao, Sriphum Intersection-Chedi Khao, Nakhon Ping Bridge-Chedi Khao, and Nawarat Bridge-Khao Kawila Camp, in order to restore it as quickly as p
ossible.
