There was an heavy and a severe monsoon flood in Thailand on October4th which killed around 224 people…One of the popular tourist destination, Chiang Mai and three quarters of the country were badly affected due to that...
As there was a warning from the forecasters that there is more wild weather in the upcoming days, many authorities tried and battled a lot to stop the floods going into the low lying areas. The government has announced the deployment of about 10,000 soldiers, and about 100 boats to help the victims.
The famous best known temple Wat Chaiwatthanaram has been closed. The head of the Fine Arts Office in Ayutthaya, Supoj Prommanoch, said that the water level reached 5 feet inside the temple premises. He also told that, ten other famous temples in the city were also flooded but still not closed as the authorities were very confident enough to prevent the water from reaching Ayutthaya's main World Heritage Park.
It was been said that these floods may last till the first week of November by the director of Thai Integrated Water Resource Management, Royal Chitradon.
Finally in a rough calculation it was found that, about 6 million hectares of land have been inundated around the country due to this worst flood in Thailand.
