The Sai River overflowed in Chiang Rai province on Tuesday, flooding communities and the Sai Lom Joy market in Mae Sai border district.
Runoff from heavy rain in the area sent a huge volume of water flowing into the Sai River, causing it to overflow and flood communities along the border with Myanmar.
Videos posted on social media showed flooding in Koh Sai and Mai Lung Khon communities, in downtown Mae Sai and Sai Lom Joy market, and in Ta Lor market in Myanmar’s Tachilek border township.
Warayut Khomboon, chief of Mae Sai district, attributed the flooding to heavy rain in nearby Myanmar, in the headwaters of the Sai River.
