The event occurred after heavy rain fell for less than an hour. Mae Sam Laep Subdistrict Administrative Organization Mayor Phongphiphat Meebenchamas reported the damage. A powerful surge through a local creek eroded the banks of Mae Sam Laep creek and carried away the building in an instant. The flood also damaged the access to a bridge in Mae Sam Laep village, though vehicles could still cross. Authorities have contacted the provincial public works authorities to inspect the bridge and assess its safety.

Local authorities have warned that additional heavy rain and flash floods could cause more damage, urging residents in vulnerable riverside areas to stay alert.",
