Double the car parking would be a good idea,

Dream on

Yes I know that part of Patak Road flood every time it rains. Big mobile pump at Supercheap, my doc at Karon clinic opposite has flooding. Never seen thick mud. Guess much of this is due to big housing development up the hill. Brought all the rain water/mud down. The development started a number of year ago never completed.

As far a I can see Karon Post office is still standing. It did close couple years back. Not long after it opened. Never heard of any mudslide.

Is this place still closed ?

Kata Beach looks the usual quiet to me . I think they are talking about the past time invasion of placed like Maya Beach.

It's Patong Beach. Story about a Kata development.

Just look at the drone photo (not copied here). Clearly the avalanche source was the car park extension.

Called Big Buddha. Huge development

Sadly you are correct ...

Very heavy rain all night. We woke due to roof leak over bed about 04.30. Head ambulances about 07.00. Saw traffic backing up on Patak road. Thought a car accident past Kata School. By 08.00 still sirens. And I noticed the sea at Kata Beach had a red band of silt. I looked right from my balcony and could see the steep hill had slid down. Lucky I did not park our car there as too much rain for our usual morning Kata front walk.

This is Phuket Forum

Dr Captain at Bangkok Phuket Bright Eye Clinic has looked after my eyes for 10 years. Yes very expensive but I only have one eye that works. What price keeping my remaining sight. Had cataract removed and lens implant my good eye 2 years ago. He had my full confidence and knew my eye history over 10 years.

Not much rain south end of the Island

Not beautiful and must maintain respect for Heroines
