PHUKET:-- Phuket Governor Phakaphong Tavipatana yesterday (Feb 19) inspected the efforts to deliver emergency water supply to the hard-hit area of Soi Kingkaew in Rassada, where many people are struggling without any mains water supply.

 

The area, one of the poorest and most densely populated residential areas on the island, has been receiving deliveries of water supplies by Rassada Municipality trucks since Jan 15, Governor Phakaphong admitted.

 

He also noted, “I ordered 19 local administrative offices on Feb 11 to help people who are struggling with water outages in their areas.”

And it's just the end of February. Couple of months to go before it starts raining properly.
