Laguna Lake has exceeded its critical level of 12.50 meters due to Typhoon Wipha and the southwest monsoon, reaching 12.62 meters as of July 24.

Small businesses close, daily wage earners lose income, and local markets are disrupted, causing widespread financial hardship. The lake's vulnerability is exacerbated by severe environmental degradation, particularly from plastic and water pollution. Improper waste disposal and agricultural runoff continually flush contaminants into the lake, accelerating eutrophication and siltation, which further reduces its water-holding capacity.

The situation became much more serious when the Moei River (also known as the Thaungyin River), which forms the border between Thailand and Myanmar, rose to dangerous levels. This led to major flooding in communities on both sides: Mae Sot, Thailand, and the neighboring town of Myawaddy, Myanmar.

Pata Zoo is a quirky, decades-old indoor zoo located on the 6th and 7th floors of the Pata Pinklao Department Store. Opened in 1983, it houses a variety of animals including Bua Noi, Thailand’s last gorilla who has lived in a small concrete enclosure for over 30 years. The zoo has long faced criticism from animal welfare advocates over its cramped, unnatural environment and lack of proper enrichment or natural habitats. Organizations such as PETA and the Wildlife Friends Foundation have documented animals exhibiting signs of severe psychological distress such as hair plucking, stereotypic swaying, pacing and self-harm linked to inadequate shade, natural light, stimulation and social interaction.
