The damage was done on a one kilometer stretch of Route 304 in Tha Thong Lang sub-district yesterday late afternoon and resulted in widespread power cuts. A Vigo pickup was damaged and a Hino truck was covered in high voltage cables. The trucker named as Jan Janmongkhol said he jumped from his cab as the cables came crashing down. Dozens of trees in the area were also downed as electrical authorities cut power and started to make repairs. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-08-25 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

It was as a result of Tropical storm Ma On which came across from the Philippines ,then Guangxi, Vietnam and into Thailand. BTW, the word Monsoon means a Wind...not a storm. But they often occur together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one goes all the others follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
