The government has brushed aside speculation that Thailand will be hit by another storm much more powerful than the Sonca storm currently hitting the country as flooding persisted across the Northeast and some central provinces amidst heavy rain on Saturday.
One death was attributed to flooding in worst-hit Sakon Nakhon. The downpours resulted in the worst floods in the northeastern province for two decades.
Government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said Saturday that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha warned people to be careful in receiving information shared on social networks, stressing they should keep themselves updated with announcements from relevant government agencies and other credible sources, not including social media.
