Phuket –
Eight houses have been damaged in total after a landslide on Wednesday morning (August 28th) in Rassada, Phuket City.
At 7:30 A.M. the Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat, the Phuket City District Chief Mr. Worasit Putjeep, and the Rassada Mayor Mr. Nakarin Yorsangrat inspected the Thep Buri Housing estate in Rassada.
Governor Sophon told the Phuket Express that heavy rain had taken place for many hours in Rassada. As a result, the soil had become very soft and absorbed a significant amount of water leading to the landslide.
No injuries were reported but eight houses were damaged by the landslide, primarily in the rear of the residences. Residents nearby were evacuated to a safe place that has been provided by the Rassada Municipality. Law enforcement has blocked off the affected surroundings and is working on a recovery operation.
