Flash floods hit Phatthalung

As floods in Bangkok and the Central region are starting to recede, Phatthalung province in the South was hit by a flash flood on Tuesday night following days of heavy downpours.

 

More than 200 households in Tamot district had to be evacuated after the Khree River suddenly started overflowing. 
The deluge also affected several sections of a key road in the area, causing massive traffic jams. 
People living near catchment areas in Tha Khiad and Pa Bon river basins have been advised to brace for flash floods and get ready to evacuate at short notice. The other areas at risk are Khao Chaison, Bang Kaew and Pa Bon districts.
