The worst-affected areas are Maysai in Chiang Rai province and Pimai in Nakhon Ratchasima province. Homes and businesses are under water, and roads are impassable. Local authorities are working to clear debris and provide assistance to residents. "The water came up so quickly," said one resident of Pimai, "We barely had time to save anything." Sandbags have been used to try and protect some homes but the force of the water has overwhelmed many defenses. In Maysai, the situation is equally dire.
