Thailand's most beautiful lake runs dry after months of drought

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): The water level of Thailand’s fourth largest freshwater lake, Kwan Phayao, dropped to just 5% as of Tuesday (May 2) due to an extended drought in the North.

Provincial governor Narong Rojsothorn said the water level had dropped from 55.65 million cubic metres to just 2.8 million, and that he is getting the lake refilled with water channelled from two nearby reservoirs.
