Aerial footage shows flood-hit homes in northern Thailand after the Nan River burst its banks.

Houses near to the river were hit with the deluge after torrential downpours amid forecasts of further storms in northern regions.

Riverside houses in seven of 15 districts -Chiang Klang, Pua, Tha Wang Pha, Mae Charim, Santisuk, Muang and Phu Phiang - were hit with flood water from the river and more than 1,000 houses were affected.

Soldiers and rescue workers used boats to navigate the flood and deliver clean water to the flood-hit communities.

Nan governor Paisarn Wimonrat said officials were now trying to contain the flood and protect businesses from further damage.
