Phuket: The statewide company is looking to consult with experts to review a mountain region where 13 people, mostly international nationals, were killed by landslides next month.
Sophon Suwannarat, the provincial governor, announced that the company will write to the permanent director of natural sources and atmosphere to demand that experts been dispatched to evaluate the origin of the landslides and stop them from happening again.
The questionnaire will be carried out in a location in tambon Karon that is on top of the Nak Kerd hill range.
The floods killed 13 citizens, including two Russians and nine Myanmar citizens, on Friday.
Regarding the incidents, the regional Russian Consular Office and the Myanmar Embassy have spoken with the government. The floods even injured 19 individuals. Of them, 14 have been discharged from clinic.
Prior to this report, it was reported that Karon experienced flash floods and landslides as a result of continual heavy rain that started last Thursday morning.
The floods also had an impact on local Tamon Rawai and Tamon Chalong.
The government claimed that the soil sprang down the mountain’s edges, sending massive boulders along as well.
There were reports of common harm to local populations and tourist destinations.
A big principal Buddha image, according to a local source, was erected on the hill range’s highest peak and a temple had been constructed.
A picture taken from an aerial view posted on a Facebook page that reportedly contains information about Phuket shows the territory had subsided close to the base of the Buddha picture, which some claim triggered the presentations.
According to Trin Sapmongkol, an official at the Thamon Karon provincial company, the Buddha photo required the construction of a sizable area of land.
Additionally, clearing away trees caused the property to become sluggish and without anything to hold the top fuel.
The local residents feared a catastrophe would strike for a while, and it eventually occurred, according to Mr. Trin.
He added that ideas for a little Buddha image to be constructed 22 years ago were included. But, as time passed, the job continued without a completion date and was constantly expanding, Mr Trin said.
Chalong Loysamut, a native, is asking lieutenant governor Sattha Thongkham and a nearby MP to investigate the cause of the mudslides.
