Floods hit southern Thailand, foreigner dies
PRACHUAB KHIRI KAN, May 2 (TNA) - A foreigner was found dead and one injured from strong waves at Hat Rin in Surat Thani province where the famous full moon party is regularly held.
Meanwhile, the upper southern province of Prachuab Khiri Khan was hit by flooding after tropical depression brought strong rain to the southern provinces, leading the authorities to initiate evacuation procedures for villagers in at-risk areas.
The depression over the Gulf of Thailand especially impacted Prachuab Khiri Khan and the nearby by province of Chumphon Tuesday night, bringing heavy rain, throughout the province, especially Bang Saphan district.
Nopakhun sub-district and Pong Pra Sat were hit by flooding, as was the Nong Hassatai-Fai Tha Road and a kindergarten at Bang Saphan.
Bang Saphan canal overflowed, as its drainoff capacity was inadequate to carry away the excessive rainfall into the sea, and local authorities feared more severe floods could hit Bang Saphan district.
At Bang Saphan Hospital, airmen from Wing 5 at the Prachuab Khiri Khan Air Force Base rushed to build sandbag dykes to protect the hospital from possible flooding.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Kamnert Noppakhun subdistrict warned local residents to prepare for evacuation if the water level continued to rise.
At Chumphon, rain fell throughout the night but no flash flooding was reported, but Governor Pinai Anantapong ordered provincial emergency services to be on a round- the-clock alert and prepared for possible evacuation in case of emergency.
Small craft were recommend to not put to sea, as high waves made fishing or ferrying passengers too risky.
Surat Thani reported some flooding but not at critical levels.
However, a foreigner was found dead and one injured from strong waves at Hat Rin where the famous full moon party was regularly held.
Marine Police prohibited regular ferry boat services to Koh Samui, Koh Pa-ngan and Koh Tao until the storm has passed. (TNA)-E003
