PHUKET: Emergency measures were being taken today to relieve flooding that has isolated 50 families on Phuket and caused internal water damage at 15 homes.
Governor Nisit Jansomwong took charge with the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and Sakoo officials commissioning a backhoe to dig a channel to allow floodwater to flow away from Baan Sakoo Village moo 1 in Nai Yang.
Meanwhile, a ban on boats of less than 10 metres putting to see in Andaman waters will be continued tomorrow by Phuket Marine Office 5 director, Phuripat Theerakulpisut.
While small vessels are banned from venturing to Phi Phi and Racha islands, they are permitted in the less turbulent waters of Phang Nga Bay.
Stormy weather is forecast to continue through Sunday.
