Severe flooding has struck Chiang Mai, Thailand, claiming the lives of two elephants and forcing widespread evacuations. The flooding, triggered by heavy monsoon rains intensified by Typhoon Yagi, has affected 20 provinces across the country.
At the Elephant Nature Park, over 100 elephants were safely evacuated, but Faa Sai and Ploy Thong tragically drowned in the powerful floodwaters. The disaster has also led to three confirmed human fatalities, with ongoing power outages further complicating rescue operations.
Meanwhile, residents in the Bangkok area are being cautioned about potential flooding from the Chao Phraya River.
