A main road to Phetchabun was impassible for traffic on Sunday due to flooding from Dianmu, a tropical storm that unleashed heavy rain in this and other provinces.
A three-kilometre section of Highway 21 in Wichien Buri district of Phetchabun remained flooded, barring all types of vehicles from passing, after heavy rain slammed the district from Saturday night to Sunday morning. Some areas on the road saw the water level rise up to one metre.
Charnvit Chanpub, the highway office chief overseeing the area, said on Sunday traffic was expected to resume on Sunday afternoon and advised drivers to take alternative routes.
