Parts of Thailand facing their worst drought in 50 years

Sanook reported that farmers in some parts of the north and north east of Thailand were facing their worst drought in living memory. 

Particularly bad with rivers and reservoirs 10% below the levels of the same time last year is the area of Lamphun in the far north. 

Farmers are being urged to collect rainwater over the next two months because there won’t be enough to go round from the usual sources.

Areas of Khon Kaen and Nakhon Ratchasima are also facing the worst drought in 50 years.
