In August 2020, heavy rain has hit the northern provinces, resulting in flash floods in many areas. In addition, the overflowed water from the Yom River flooded the people’s houses, especially in Loei, Nan, Chiangrai, and Sukhothai where the situation is more severe. The water level rose more than 2 meters deep in some areas. Hundreds of households were affected. The residents had to flee without food and drinking water. The whole region was affected. We, the Singha R-SA team were also prepared to visit the area as soon as the news arrived.
