PHUKET:-- Representatives from the island’s mini-marts and also some local retailers have confirmed that floods across Southern Thailand are now having some impact of the supply of some goods to the island.

 

Shelves in some Family Mart outlets are now becoming bare and some shops have stated they are having to wait up to three days for supplies to arrive.

 

Tim Soongsom, Manager of one of the Family Mart stores on Soi Ta-iad, Chalong, told The Phuket News, “The floods have started to have some affect on deliveries to our store. We are now having to wait three to four days for deliveries and this is now leaving some shelves empty.

 

“The main items that we are now running short of is fresh produce and items with a short shelf life, such as milk,” she said.

 

“Our main depot is located in Pathum Thani province (outside Bangkok), but items are relayed from there to a depot in Surat Thani and are then distributed throughout the southern provinces.

 

“It appears that the delays are with the deliveries between Pathum Thani and Surat Thani,” she added.
