Meanwhile, floods and landslides are also wreaking havoc in other northern provinces, not to mention the neighbouring countries of Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. In Chiang Mai, several people have been injured or are missing while many areas in Nan are also currently under water. The floods in Nan are reportedly the worst in 100 years. Several organisations — public, private and foundations — have joined forces to provide relief for flood-affected victims in all areas.
