Floodwaters rise in Pichit

The Yom River is rising in the northern province of Phichit, forcing farmers to harvest their not yet fully mature rice yield to prevent losses.



Flooding in the Yom River basin in Phichit's Sam Ngam district remains critical and has spread more widely to cover lowlying areas due to further heavy rain and continued northern run-off flowing downstream from Phisanulok and Sukhothai.

The rising Yom River forced farmers to harvest offseason rice for fear of losses if the flood worsens.
