The Chiang Mai Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office reports that five people died in the second wave of flooding. One person who was severely injured is still in the hospital.

The Deputy Governor of Chiang Mai Province, Mr. Thotsapol Phuean-udom, has ordered related agencies to provide assistance to the families of the deceased and injured as soon as possible. This assistance includes mental health support and other aid.

Mr. Thotsapol Phuean-udom told reporters that the flood situation has begun to improve. Over 700 defense volunteers and equipment have been mobilized to help restore the city.

He noted that the Saraphi district is still flooded because it is a low-lying area where water remains longer. The Royal Irrigation Department is working to pump out the water.

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation is preparing to survey the area and provide assistance to speed up flood restoration efforts. Their goal is to return conditions to normal quickly. Personnel from unaffected districts and volunteer defense personnel have been mobilized to help remove mud and clean roads and public areas.

Meanwhile, Akom Suvankantha, president of the Thai SME Confederation, stated that businesses in Chiang Mai were hard hit by two rounds of serious flooding. He estimates the damage at 8 billion baht.

He added that the high season in the next two months could bring new hope for businesses, raising hotel occupancy rates to as much as 80%. However, recovery may take until January or February of next year.

This week, Chiang Mai artists organized a concert to raise funds for flood victims. Donations reached 1,806,493.45 baht, which will be given to relevant agencies to help those affected by the floods.
