Chiang Rai province in Thailand’s north is facing severe flooding as Kok River, the province’s main tributary, has overflown, damaging a wide area and stranding thousands of residents.
Even in areas where the water has receded like Mae Sai district, infrastructure damages meant many have had to take shelter in the many evacuation centers provided.
Singha Park Chiang Rai, a Boon Rawd Brewery-affiliated company, has opened the kitchen to provide meals for five “Singha R-SA” rescue networks including Siam Chiang Rai Foundation, Thammanan Chiangrai Rescue Association, Sirikorn Chiang Rai Disaster Relief Association, Piyamitr Maesai Co-operative Emergency Rescue and Charity, and the Chiang Rai Public Charitable Society so they can perform their duties of saving lives in zones that have been submerged.
Singha Park Chiang Rai also provides ready-to-eat meals (retort products) and drinking water for many stranded Chiang Rai residents in various areas. It has also turned its parking lot into a free parking space for evacuees to leave their vehicles after they have fled from their homes.
The flooding in Chiang Rai is expected to continue as the Kok River level remains high, affecting low-lying areas and the business parts of the city. The “Singha R-SA” rescue team, the rescue network, and the student network continue to monitor the situation closely to efficiently deliver aid and emotional support during this crisis.
