CHIANG MAI (The Nation/Asia News Network): Chiang Mai residents were greeted by shocking scenes on Sunday (Sept 25) as a section of their historic city wall collapsed in an overnight storm. After standing for more than 750 years, the wall near Chang Phuak gate was reduced to rubble by heavy rain.
Chiang Mai officials rushed to close off the site to tourists and locals and examine the damage. The Fine Arts Department has deployed staff to aid with renovation work.
