KHON KAEN — Northern Thailand is grappling with severe flooding and disruption as the remnants of Tropical Depression Nong Fa sweep across the region, bringing torrential rains and triggering flash floods in multiple provinces. The weak low-pressure system, which began impacting the area yesterday, is expected to move into Myanmar by today, but not before leaving a trail of damage in its wake.

Officials have issued urgent warnings for flash floods and mudslides in high-risk areas, including Lampang, Sukhothai, Kamphaeng Phet, Lamphun, Chiang Mai, Tak, and Mae Hong Son. Residents in foothill and low-lying communities are advised to remain vigilant and prepare for possible evacuations.

In Khon Kaen province, flash floods submerged 112 homes overnight, inundating residential and agricultural areas. Emergency responders are assisting affected families while assessing the full extent of the damage.

Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samrejvanich chaired a national emergency meeting on Sep. 2 to coordinate disaster response following widespread flooding and landslides caused by Tropical Storms Kajiki and Nongfa.

Chiang Mai faced its own challenges as strong winds and heavy rain uprooted a large tree, which crashed onto power lines and blocked a major road for nearly an hour. The incident caused temporary power outages and disrupted traffic.

Phitsanulok province reported widespread flooding across several districts, with farmland severely damaged. Authorities have raised a “red flag” alert for communities near the rapidly rising Khek River, urging immediate caution.
