Strong seas, winds prompt warnings as cold snap bites

POST REPORTERS:

See the Bangkok Post for the rest of the story.

Surat Thani _ Pounding waves have destroyed three seaside houses and disrupted ferry services to resort islands as icy weather from China continues to drive powerful winds in the Gulf of Thailand. In the far North, temperatures have plummeted below zero.

From The Nation newspaper online:

Strong waves from Gulf of Thailand caused by monsoon destroyed 15 houses along the coast in Surat Thani's Thachana district on Thursday as ferries suspended service and people were evacuated to higher places.

Surat Thani authorities issued a warning for people living along the coast to be more cautious as the monsoon hit the province.

Just to add, I have heard Chaloklum is getting slammed, once again. A yearly occurrence over there. We are on the leeward side of the island so only have high tides, so far (fingers crossed!).

Some boats are still running, Lomprayah Catamaran, Haadrin Queen are both running and the Raja Ferry is apparently, running a passenger trip as the waves are too high to dock the ferry to let off vehicles.
