That is very unfortunate for a hospital especially to get flooded. Lets hope that funds will be made available to replace the damaged equipment as soon as practicably possible  for the benefit of the locals.

I remember  the floods in Sakon Nakhon 4 years ago. The worse flooding in 2 decades. When I searched areas  to buy land to build a house, I made sure it wasn’t in a low lying area around the city.

The rains lasted for many days as a result caused a breach in the reservoir ,that flooded the city and the villages around it.

Many of Thailand’s provinces  will be susceptible to floods  because of poor drainage and natural conditions imop.

Or maybe in some areas poor local / regional Government ability to plan and put in place realistic measures to attempt to inhibit flooding to a degree. Unlike Pattaya beach fiasco.

Your spot on .It’s also worth mentioning the reservoirs are suspect and in need of alternative plans to help prevent breaches
