PHUKET: -- The two bridges providing access to Bang Rong Pier in Pa Khlok, a popular jump-off point for small ferry boats to nearby islands off Phuket’s east coast, have reopened after emergency repairs overnight as local officials race to provide assistance to thousands of families whose homes were damaged by floodwaters over the weekend.

 

The two bridges in Pa Khlok sustained serious damage from torrential runoff last Friday (Sept 15), which saw at least 127mm of rainfall drench Phuket Town and the surrounding area within just 24 hours. 

 

Meanwhile, soldiers from outside Phuket have been called in to help flood victims and to help clean up entire neighbourhoods flooded by the heavy rains, which continued through Saturday.
