Nan Province MP Monitors Flood Risks Following Heavy Rainfall
MP Prasit Nota visited Wiang Sa District to assess rising water levels and coordinate emergency preparedness after continuous heavy rain.
On August 19, 2026, Prasit Nota, a Member of Parliament for Nan Province representing the Kla Tham Party, conducted an inspection in Wiang Sa District to monitor the impact of persistent heavy rainfall. Accompanied by the Mayor of Wiang Sa and local officials, the MP focused his assessment on high-risk areas, specifically Ban Lai Nan in Lai Nan Subdistrict, where water levels have reached concerning heights.
For residents and travelers in the region, this situation highlights the potential for flash flooding and localized water runoff. While the MP and local authorities are currently coordinating emergency response measures and preparing to assist citizens in vulnerable zones, the situation remains fluid. The primary objective of the visit was to ensure that local teams are positioned to provide immediate aid should an emergency occur.
It remains to be confirmed how much further the water levels will rise and whether specific evacuation orders will be issued for the most vulnerable households. Those currently in or planning to travel to the Wiang Sa area are advised to monitor local weather reports and official announcements from the Nan provincial authorities closely. The Kla Tham Party team continues to track the situation to facilitate rapid intervention if conditions deteriorate further.
