PHUKET – At several spots, murky runoffs from mountains caused houses to be flooded.
The flood-hit areas included the Tha Rua Monument intersection, the Ban Koh Kaew community, a road in front of Ban Pon housing estate, and a road in front of Blue Tree Choeng Thale Hotel.
Many houses along the road behind the Loch Palm Golf Club were also hit by a runoff from a mountain and some houses were under almost metre-high water.
Communities in tambon Kamala of Krathu district were hit by a runoff from a nearby mountain.
Local authorities said floodwaters on Phuket roads would gradually flow into the sea through the drainage system within hours of the rain stopping.
