Floods impact Nakhon Phanom, Roi Et, Sakon Nakhon

NAKHON PANOM, 2nd August 2018 (NNT) – High water levels throughout the northeast have resulted in the road to Baan Pak Bang village in Na Kae district of Nakhon Phanom being severed.

Up to 400 meters of the dirt road has been submerged under rapidly moving water, which is endangering the low lying village. The waters are from Sakon Nakhon province and usually drain into the Mekong River. Floods occurs annually but are usually less severe due to the Mekong River being lower and allowing for drainage.
