PHUKET: -- Heavy rains late yesterday afternoon (April 5) brought minor flash floods to southern parts of Phuket, with flash flood waters reaching up to 50cm deep in the sea gypsy village in Rawai.

 

A section of road into the village stretching 100m long was inundated by 20-50cm of rainwater, as many sea gypsies helped each other move household items to higher ground.

 

The area in the centre of the village heavily affected by the flash flood yesterday is on lower ground amid the village and frequently floods.
