THE water level in Mekong River flowing through Nong Khai province has risen sharply due to heavy rain in the North of Thailand and Laos under the influence of tropical storm Sinlaku.
The water level had risen to 4.20 metres as measured by Nong Khai’s Department of Water Resources, rising sharply from Monday’s level by 76 centimetres.
