Thailand’s Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a severe weather alert covering 33 provinces, forecasting ongoing heavy downpours, particularly across the southern territories, where 70% of the region is expected to feel the brunt of the downpours. The constant heavy showers raise the potential for sudden, unexpected flash floods. The danger is considerably heightened in the southern areas of the country, where residents are strongly advised to remain watchful of the relentless rainfall and the accumulated precipitation, which could trigger flash floods and forest run-offs. The risk is especially dire in hillside locations near water bodies and low-lying areas. The high-pressure air mass enveloping the northern and northeastern regions is gradually weakening, which will result in reduced rainfall in these parts. Concurrently, the monsoon trough is presently osculating through the middle, cutting a path across the upper southern parts, the upper Gulf of Thailand, and the eastern areas. This weather pattern,…
Yesterday bore witness to an intriguing turn of events at the Chiang Mai Administrative Court. Local inhabitants submitted a proposal requesting the abolition of a contentious water diversion project valued at a whopping 200-billion-baht.

This dam serves as a crucial water source for many – aiding agricultural activities and facilitating hydroelectric power production. The vast project, spanning a phenomenal 3,641…
