Tragic Loss of 'Moo Daeng' Amid Severe Flooding at Ramkhamhaeng University
A beloved dog known as 'Moo Daeng' has died due to severe flooding at Ramkhamhaeng University in Bangkok, highlighting the dangerous conditions caused by persistent heavy rainfall.
According to reports from Khaosod Online and the 'Cave DOGs' (Si Kha Ma Ram) social media page, a dog named 'Moo Daeng' has died after being unable to escape rising floodwaters at Ramkhamhaeng University. The incident occurred as heavy, persistent rainfall continues to impact all 50 districts of Bangkok, causing significant distress to both residents and animals.
Reports indicate that water levels near the university entrance have reached chest height, making access to the area extremely difficult. The loss of 'Moo Daeng' has sparked an outpouring of grief and concern from the local community regarding the welfare of animals trapped in cages or tethered during these extreme weather events. Many social media users have pointed out that not all dogs are capable of swimming, or sustaining themselves in deep, turbulent water for extended periods.
For residents and travelers in Bangkok, this event serves as a stark reminder of the current hazardous conditions. With widespread flooding affecting infrastructure and daily life, individuals are advised to exercise extreme caution in low-lying areas. While the immediate impact on the university campus is clear, the full extent of the damage to local animal populations and the duration of the flood crisis remain to be confirmed as heavy rains persist across the capital.
