Man saw house flattened by flash flood

 

SURAT THANI:-- A man and his family narrowly escaped injuries with their pickup truck shortly before a strong flash flood cascading down from Khao Luang mountain flattened their house in Kanchanadit district of Surat Thani Friday morning.

 

Mr Pan Chanpakdee, the owner of the house which serves as a grocery shop located next to a bridge, later told the media that at about 5.30 am, he found flood water was rising quickly and the current was very strong, so he woke up his wife and children and ordered them to get on their pickup truck to escape.

 

Pan said he was in a hurry had no time to pick up any valuables. About ten minutes afterward when he arrived at a high ground, he said that his house was gone – washed away by a wall of strong flash flood gushing down from Khao Luang mountain.
