rains in southern thailand

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Mother nature is pissed off

Phuket had over 45 hours straight of rain but luckily no flooding, Cant say the same for Koh Tao, Samui, Phang Nga, Nakorn Sri thamarat ,Prachup Khiri Khan and many other places

More rains and flooding in the south of Thailand.
5 December 2017
AFP - Fifteen people have died and one million have been affected by flooding in Thailand’s deep south, authorities said Tuesday.

The monsoon rains that started late last month have inundated eight provinces and hit hundreds of thousands of households, according to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.

Fifteen people have drowned, an official at the department’s call centre told AFP. The toll stood at five under a week ago.

Some one million residents have been hit in some way: through submerged or damaged homes, disruption to occupations such as farming, or transport difficulties because of flooded roads.

More heavy rains expected in the region from 6-8 December. Forecasts say it should ease up from mid-December.
