CHIANG MAI: Part of the historic wall in this northern city has crumbled after the surrounding soil absorbed rainfall for several days, as weather forecasters issued a storm watch across the country from Tuesday.
A section of the wall at Chang Phuak Gate at the moat in Muang district collapsed on Sunday and Therdsak Yenjura, the director of the archaeological conservation office, attributed the cause to soil that absorbed too much water from rainfall.
