Torrential rain has continued to pound much of the South, killing one man in a road accident and affecting more than 2,000 residents in Phatthalung. Muang, Khuan Khanun and Sri Nakharin districts were hardest hit by overnight downpours and mountain runoff from the Banthat mountain range. In Sri Nakharin district, rain also saw a 500-metre section of Phetkasem Road, which connects Phatthalung and Trang, under water. Many villages in tambons Chong, Lamo, Na Yong Nuea and Na Muen Si in Na Yong district of Trang were hit by flash floods, assistant district chief Manit Thachin said on Wednesday. A 55-year-old resident, Hamatnu Sulong, said the floods were made worse by the poorly-built water drainage system in his neighbourhood.
