Phuket –
Phuket Old Town has suffered the worst flooding in 50 years this past weekend, said local residents to the media.
Our previous story:
Heavy rain across Phuket all night and until this morning caused flooding in many areas yesterday (October 16th).
Now, for the update:
Phuket locals including Mr. Rewat Areerob, the President of the Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO), who said he is well over fifty but declined to give his exact age, told the Phuket Express since they were born this recent flood in the Phuket Old Town area was the worst flooding in 50 years.”
The situation in Phuket Old Town is now back to normal as floodwaters have receded but multiple organizations and volunteers have come together to clean the streets of trash and debris swept in by the floods.
Unfortunately, more rain may be in the forecast in the near future but it isn’t expected to be as heavy or persistent as the recent storms that caused widespread havoc across Phuket over the past weekend.
