PHUKET: Heavy downpours across the island brought traffic a standstill on major roads and caused a minor landslide on the coastal road north of Patong this morning (June 5).

 

Traffic Police in Patong have warned of flooded roads and intersections in the tourism town, while traffic remains backed up along major roads across the island.

 

A landslip brought earth down onto the coastal road north near the U Zenmaya Phuket resort at the northern end pof Kalim, north of Patong, spurring police to urge motorists to keep clear of the clear until the debris has been cleared.
