Soldiers are battling to repair new breaches in the big bag barrier to hold back water from the flood swollen Yom River which was pouring into Sukhothai's Muang district on Monday.

The water level continued to rise on Monday and spread into the inner areas of the district.

Several schools were closed temporarily while vendors in several flooded markets moved their stalls out onto the main street, causing heavy traffic congestion.

The minister of Science ensures that the “situation would remain manageable - unless the country was hit by as many as ten typhoons in just one month, which would be a very rare event”. Wow what a statement but more likely science fiction than science.

Looks like that emergency 350b baht for fold prevention has been put to good use.
