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.
