Heavy Rainfall and Landslides Reported in Phetchabun Province
The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation is monitoring severe weather in Phetchabun, where landslides and flooding have impacted local transport and river levels.
According to the Thailand Government Public Relations Department, authorities are currently monitoring heavy rainfall in Phetchabun Province. The severe weather has resulted in landslides that have obstructed local roads, while the Pa Sak River has overflowed its banks, causing flooding in the Lom Kao and Lom Sak districts.
For residents and travelers in the area, these conditions present significant risks to road travel and local infrastructure. Landslides can make mountain routes unpredictable, and rising water levels may lead to sudden road closures or restricted access to certain communities. Local agencies are actively collaborating with regional authorities to provide assistance to those affected by the flooding.
At this time, the full extent of the damage to infrastructure and the duration of the road blockages remain to be confirmed. Travelers planning to visit or transit through Phetchabun are advised to monitor local news updates closely and exercise caution when navigating mountainous terrain or areas near the Pa Sak River. It is recommended to check with local transport providers or provincial authorities regarding the current status of specific routes before embarking on travel in the region.
