Floodwaters cause extensive damage in Lopburi village (video)

A video on Facebook captured the floodwaters inundating Tha Din Dam village in Chai Badan district, Lopburi province, causing significant damage to homes and businesses.

Rotsukhon Phromma posted a clip showing the severe flooding that affected shops and residential areas in Tha Din Dam.

“Why is the water so strong again? The shop is completely ruined. Be careful, it’s dangerous. The water knocked over all the motorcycles.”

The floodwaters were described as murky and brown, flowing with great force and sweeping away everything in their path. The video, approximately 10 minutes long, shows the continuous and intense flooding, highlighting the substantial damage caused. The water level reached about 50 centimetres but was powerful enough to cause extensive harm.

The video has garnered numerous comments from viewers, many of whom offered words of encouragement and concern, reported KhaoSod.

“Stay safe, everyone.”

“Were you able to save your belongings?”

“It’s very strong, take care.”

“It’s terrifying, where did the water come from?”

In related news, Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat spearheaded a substantial cleanup operation in Kamala following heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across Phuket. The downpours on June 30 led to traffic disruptions, flight delays, and flooded neighbourhoods.

Joining the Governor in Kamala were Phuket Vice Governor Sattha Thongkham, Phuket Provincial Chief Administrative Office Suwit Suriyawong, Phuket Provincial Police Commander, Police Major General Sinlert Sukhum, and Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) Center Director Kas Sentoyeap.
