As you may have heard, Chiang Mai has been hit by a record flood. Lanna programming should not be affected (we shared updates to folks arriving in the next 1-2 weeks) but the most important thing right now is that the local community has been greatly impacted, and this presents an opportunity for us to be able to give back to the local area that is hosting us.
How can we help?
Right now, the best way to support is by spending money at local businesses affected who have LOST sales the past week. The other way is donating money that will allow locals to buy supplies:
- Any amount - Food and water: This is the priority right now and what the local team on the ground is focused on. Every little bit helps.
- $5 - Bucket: Handy for carrying water or cleaning solutions for flood cleanup.
- $10 - Water slider: Helps efficiently push water off smooth surfaces like tile or concrete.
- $10 - Mop: Useful for cleaning and drying wet floors after water removal.
- $150 - Mobile water pump: Essential for quickly removing standing water from flooded areas.
- $200 - High-pressure washing machine: Powerful for cleaning mud and debris from surfaces after a flood.
- $250 - Safety Boat: Very important for safely evacuating people and valuable items from the flood.
