The latest situation, flood crisis in Thailand continues to affect a number of central provinces with Ayutthaya and Nakhon Sawan particularly impacted by flooding. With the notable exception of Ayutthaya, most of Thailand’s key tourist destinations (including Chiang Mai, Ko Samui, Krabi, Pattaya and Phuket) are not affected by flooding. Flooding in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai has gone and roads have been cleared and it is not related to the present flooding situation (as you see in the NEWS).
