» Villagers in Chiang Rai are experiencing flooding that has so far affected over 9,000 families. Many people, particularly in Mae Sai district, are stranded in their homes awaiting help from rescue officers. 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. To help out, Life has compiled a list of places where people can donate necessities or provide financial aid.
