According to local people, on the evening of September 5, water from upstream along with heavy rain poured into Thap Dam, inundating crops of the people, of which Thap hamlet was one of the hamlets with the most damage because the hamlet was located near Thap dam. Because the flood poured into Thap dam too quickly, the spillway could not discharge the flood water in time, and when it was dark, people could not react in time, so water flooded into the houses of 50 households, all crops were lost.
