PHUKET: Meteorological officials said a flood that covered an area around Phuket City's Tesco Lotus intersection, where an underpass is being dug, was caused by blocked drains, not the scale of today's downpour.

And why the drains were blocked? Posted by Kurt on June 12, 2015 17:48 
how about changing the headline to read.."Flood That Drowns Phuket Intersection Caused by the Usual Inefficiancy that exists here." Posted by sky on June 12, 2015 18:36 
so, buy this logic, if there were no rains, the intersection would still be flooded ? Posted by mike on June 12, 2015 22:34 Editor Comment: Only if the drains are not unblocked. 
and where is the water from the underpasses pumped to?? Posted by another steve on June 13, 2015 07:00 |

This intersection has always been plagued by flooding waters. Even with the new "blocked" drains, still no good. What is going to happen where the underpass opens and all this water ends up inside it... waterpark 'n ride?

As with the first underpass, the water will be kept out.
