Flooding from the Ping River has forced about 1,000 residents from the Police Region 5 flats in Chiang Mai to evacuate. Police Lieutenant General Kritthapa Yisakhorn personally distributed food boxes to over 200 families still stranded in the flats as of September 25, 2024. The situation arose after the river overflowed on the night of September 24, leading to widespread flooding across the city and affecting police administration offices as well.
On September 25, 2024, Police Lieutenant General Kritthapa Yisakhorn and other officers assisted families living in the police flats opposite the Police Region 5 headquarters. Many families evacuated due to the flooding, with only about 200 police families remaining behind to manage the flats.
The continuing high water levels have posed challenges for the remaining families, but efforts are ongoing to ensure they receive necessary supplies and assistance.
