Psimbo Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I went out at 0830 and was back about 1200- missed it all. Seen a lot of the videos of sois turned into rivers- it was pretty fierce for a while. This is what happens when all the natural drainage areas in the village get filled in and built on- serves them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the guest Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Phuket is the second richest province, and they still cannot ensure the infrastructure is adequate. Year-after-year the same old news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
