PHUKET: Heavy rain across Phuket this morning has caused widespread flooding and a landslip in Kamala, after the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) issued a nationwide weather warning marking typhoon Doksuri crossing the Vietnam coast.

 

At least 80mm of rainfall drenched Phuket Town and surrounding areas within just three hours this morning, from 7am to 10am, the TMD Phuket office confirmed to The Phuket News.

 

Major roads in and around Phuket Town have been inundated with floodwaters, causing traffic delays, and reports of houses being flooded in Koh Kaew, Kathu and other heavy residential areas are being received by The Phuket News.
