Another flood that occurred in Phuket on Wednesday night caused nine houses to be damaged, but no injuries were reported.
Many trees that had been blocking traffic were likewise toppled by the persistent heavy rainfall that started at 1am, which also resulted in flash floods in different areas of the island.
Between Khok Tanot and Layan Beach, holes and sinking were visible in the Thalang district’s Choeng Thale. To avoid injuries, precaution signs have been put up.
In tambon Talat Yai in Muang area, a 2-metre-high roof collapsed at the back of a property during a large storm.
In tambon Ratsada in the Muang area, nine two-story townhouses were struck by a landslide that also brought rocks and mud over. Some buildings were heavily damaged, leading to weather leaking into the homes.
Since their home had just been moved in, a citizen who identified herself as Kanyarat claimed that their family just occupied the first floor. At 5 a.m., she heard a loud, strong tone and noticed water leaking into the back of the home.
In the area, no accidents have been reported.
Sophon Suwanrat, the governor of Phuket, claimed that Ratsada city municipal office employees assisted residents of the damaged homes in moving to a secure location.
The most recent incidents occurred as authorities and residents worked to repair the site of the disaster that left 13 people dead last Friday.
A stream of dirt and stones poured along from Khao Nak Kerd Mountain, a site of a massive Buddha statue-filled temple complex.
The area had subsided near the base of the Buddha picture, according to aerial pictures that were posted online, which could have deactivated the presentations.
A local official claimed that clearing the land and leaving the property barred with much topsoil had been the cause of the site’s construction.
