GISTDA Monitors Floodwater Movement in Nan and Phrae Provinces
Thailand's space agency is tracking floodwater moving from Pua District, Nan, toward Phrae, urging residents to use the 'Check Nam' application for updates.
According to a report from Prachachat Business, the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) is currently analyzing the movement of floodwater originating from Pua District in Nan Province. The agency indicates that this water mass is expected to move toward Phrae Province in the coming days.
For residents and travelers currently in or planning to visit these northern regions, GISTDA advises against panic. Instead, the agency encourages the public to utilize the "Check Nam" (Check Water) mobile application. This tool provides real-time data and advance forecasts to help individuals monitor flood risks between August 19 and August 22, 2026.
While the agency is providing predictive modeling to assist with local preparedness, the exact impact on specific areas remains subject to change based on ongoing weather conditions and water flow dynamics. Travelers in the affected provinces are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and the "Check Nam" app to ensure they have the latest information regarding local safety and potential travel disruptions. As of now, the situation is being actively monitored by authorities, and residents are urged to remain vigilant as the water mass progresses through the region.
