Summer storms have damaged many areas in the upper parts of Thailand while the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has continued a storm warning through Wednesday (April 26th).

 

The Kanchanaburi Public Relations Department told TPN media that on Tuesday (April 25th) a 15-year-old has sustained injuries after a pavilion collapsed while he was hiding from the rain in Sangkhla Buri, Kanchanaburi. More than 100 families are suffering from house damage.

 

In Samut Prakan, at least 20 cars were damaged after a tent in a parking area collapsed in Racha Thewa.

Summer storms, high winds and heavy rainfall.

All those flimsy structures should be sorted out now before the storm season starts.

Better than picking up the pieces after.

ramshackle, rickety dwelling and structures are widely used in this country from the down of men owing to the fact that it cost very little to build and usually built without permission, so i can't see this situation improving any time soon.
