Heavy overnight rainfall triggered
flash flooding across all three districts of Phuket, including
Phuket City, local officials said.
About 100 households were affected, with no casualties reported in the provincial update carried by AP.
Water began receding by late morning, although low-lying roads remained flooded. Authorities advised small vehicles to avoid affected areas.
Mudslides also deposited debris in parts of the province. Crews worked to clear material that could obstruct canals and waterways.
The Thai Meteorological Department’s forecast at the time warned of further
heavy rain across southern Thailand through 28 October.
