Heavy rain that continued for hours in the early morning has caused flooding in Phuket, especially Kata and Karon in Mueang District. Water from the high mountains has flowed down to people's houses and roads, flooding a wide area. Many villagers were unable to move their belongings to higher ground in time and their properties were damaged. The latest report is that a landslide from a mountain fell on a rental room in Soi Patak 2, Village 2, Tambon Karon, Amphoe Mueang, Phuket, resulting in 1 death and 3-4 injuries. Officials from the Kusontham Phuket Foundation are in the process of providing assistance. The overall water situation in Phuket is currently flooded and waiting to be drained. However, the heavy rain last night has stopped and the sea level has decreased, so it is expected that the flooded water will gradually decrease. - Source: Thai News Agency
