via Thai PBS World, 15 October 2022: Our second flood story from this morning comes from Thailand, where as many as 83 sites including those in Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai have been inundated by floods last week.
The rainy season may soon give way to winter. But a massive amount of floodwater remains and continues to rise both in depth and width, putting many historic monuments and temples across Thailand extremely vulnerable to water damage.
More than 80 beautiful archaeological sites and historical temples around Thailand could be underwater, warns the Fine Arts Department of Thailand, after a wet season that has seen the country hit by tropical storms and a stronger-than-usual monsoon.
Recently, the tropical depression Noru submerged northern and northeastern provinces, as well as numerous historical and archaeological sites. According to Thailand’s Fine Art Department, the large amount of water has put eight historical sites in grave danger.
