Heavy rain inundates Nakhon Si Thammarat, soldiers jump to rescue
Continuous heavy rain on Friday sparked flash floods in Nakhon Si Thammarat, especially in the vicinity of waterfalls and the Sichon district.
Soldiers from the Sichon Special Forces Training Camp, who had been deployed to investigate the situation, managed to rescue a monk and three villagers stranded in a flooded monastery. The four were later transferred to another temple on higher ground.
The soldiers also took some 200 Covid-19 patients to their training camp at the request of Sichon Hospital director Dr Arak Wongvorachat.
