Runoff from Doi Suthep caused flooding at Chiang Mai University on Friday morning, worsening the city's flood situation.

Social media posts showed floodwaters overwhelming the campus located at the foot of Doi Suthep mountain.

Rain on Doi Suthep had led to increased runoff.

The university closed several roads and told staff and students in affected areas to move vehicles to higher ground, adding that the campus is still accessible.

Chiang Mai University is the latest area hit by floods that have plagued the city since Tuesday, with recent rainfall contributing to the situation despite the campus's distance from the Ping River.

Chiang Mai airport is still open. It advises travellers to go to the airport via the Super Highway and Nimmanhaemin Road.
