TACHILEIK, Myanmar: Days of rain have lashed the Myanmar town of Tachileik and triggered flooding that has knocked out power and telephone lines, a resident and local media said on Tuesday (Sept 10), with more rain forecast.
AFP images from the town which sits on the border with Thailand showed people riding motorcycles through streets under red-brown waters and residents trying to bail out flooded shops and houses.
