NAN - Rehabilitation work is beginning in upper and central districts of this northern province as floodwaters from the overflowing Nan River move south, governor Chainarong Wongyai said on Thursday.

The hard-hit upstream districts of Pua and Tha Wang Pha, where fierce storms dumped up to 380 millimetres of rain on Wednesday, were drying out on Thursday, as clean-up workers and volunteers moved in.
