Songkhla rockfall site sealed off amid risk of more falling rocks
Officials cordoned off the rockfall site in Songkhla amid fears of further collapses, with no injuries or deaths recorded in initial reports
Municipal officials cordoned off a site in Songkhla’s Singhanakhon district after a large boulder destroyed a grocery shop on Thursday (November 12, 2026), amid concerns that more rocks could fall.
The rockfall in Ban Khao Daeng, village No.1 of Hua Khao subdistrict, was reported at 6.50pm Thai time. Initial reports indicated that nobody had been injured or killed.
Singhanakhon mayor Kong Chansawang and municipal officials immediately visited the scene to assess the damage and provide assistance.
Kong instructed municipal disaster prevention staff to cordon off the damaged premises and prevent people from entering the hazardous area. Singhanakhon municipal crews also began removing fallen rocks and debris blocking the road, aiming to restore access for vehicles as quickly as possible.
Officials responding to the Ban Khao Daeng rockfall prohibited entry to the site until a thorough inspection and safety assessment could be completed, citing the possibility of further rockfalls. Road users were urged to avoid the affected route and follow officials’ instructions strictly.
