During the weekend, hundreds of residents in Thailand’s city of Phetchaburi scrambled to erect sandbag defenses and build concrete barriers in preparation for imminent floods, caused by the Kaeng Krachan Dam overspill. The Thai Irrigation Department says the water is already flowing over into the dam’s spillways and is expected to flood at least five districts. The military are already in the area to pump water into the Phetchaburi River. They are preparing for the worst by helping residents move their belongings to higher ground, planning mass evacuations and setting up disaster centers. Thailand’s Prime Minister is to visit Phetchaburi on Wednesday to monitor the situation and relief operations.

Residents of Thailand’s Phetchaburi city are expecting devastating floods at around ten PM tonight, after a massive amount of water was released from a major reservoir into the Phetchaburi River to reduce pressure on the dam. The release has already flooded the well-known Kaeng Krachan National Park, forcing it to close for tourist safety. A small town near the park is now also cut off by the flood, affecting more than two hundred families. Over two thousand police officers are on their way to help the military to prepare for rescue operations as the Irrigation Department warns of significant additional rainfall over the next two days.
