She said her house has never been hit by such high floods and it was lucky for her that the troops had come to evacuate her in time. Sanon Yusathit, 34, his wife, and two children also had to stay at the shelter after their house was damaged by run-off. The water flowed down the mountain ranges on the west side of Kanchanadit district and the mountains that straddle Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat's Khanom district following hours of heavy downpours.
