Flash floods have wrought havoc in three districts of Thailand’s southern province of Surat Thani in the past 24 hours, as the Meteorological Department warned today of more rain, some of it heavy in southern provinces, as a result of a low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, which is intensifying into cyclone storm.

 

According to the public disaster prevention and mitigation office in Surat Thani, flash flooding struck three sub-districts in Vibhavadi, Chaiya and Tha Chang districts yesterday, wrecking seven houses and partially damaging 18 more, 25 roads and 18 bridges. One motorcyclist was swept away and went missing.

 

Motorists have been warned not to try to use the heavily-flooded roads for their own safety.
