PHUKET: Residents are appealing for urgent repairs to be made to this bridge near Kathu Waterfall in central Phuket, which was further damaged by storms and rising water over the weekend.
The bridge, leading to Moo 6, is a vital connection for at least 10 families living in a part of Phuket that has yet to be developed.
Meteorologists are forecasting that strong winds and the possibility of heavy rain will continue all this week, with small boats being advised not to put to sea.
Bangkok is expected to be hit today by flood waters flowing down the Chao Phraya River from provinces where floods have already caused deaths and destruction.
More than 1.4 million people have already been affected. The death toll now stands at 112.
Officials on Phuket are also concerned that continuing rains will trigger landslips. Construction sites often block natural rainfall exits and divert water to areas where earth will slide with a prolonged soaking.
