PHUKET: Students from Phuket Technology College and staff from power tool and building equipment retailer D-Day Group Co Ltd have launched a free repair service for residents in Chalong and Karon whose homes were damaged in the flash floods last Thursday (Oct 31).

 

The free service was launched on Saturday (Nov 2), with teams deployed to Baan Tak Daet in Chalong, one of the worst-hit areas of the flash floods.

Good 'hands-on' experience for the students and a welcome service to local people. I hope they fix or add proper 'earth' connections to these appliances and show the owners how to ground them.
