BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Swelled by two days of heavy rain, the Mae Lao River overflowed into Wiang Pa Pao district, cutting its road link between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
Highway 118 running south from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai was also reduced to one lane by flooding with homes and farms in Wiang Pa Pao’s Ban Hong inundated by the river runoff.
