Locals, tourists stranded in Hat Yai
Published: 2/11/2010 at 10:48 AM Online news: About 10,000 local residents and tourists in Hat Yai were trapped by flash floods which hit the southern tourist city early Tuesday morning, Hat Yai Mayor Prai Pattano said. The floodwater in the city’s business area was measured at two to three metres deep, he said. Mr Prai said the situation is much more severe than the flood that hit the city in 2000. “No one had expected that the situation would be so critical, and therefore there was no evacuation of residents or tourists,” he admitted. He asked for donations of drinking water and food for the flood victims. He said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will fly to Hat Yai this afternoon to see the situation at first hand. |

Residents told to flee amid rush for essentials
Published: 2/11/2010 at 12:00 AM Newspaper section: News SONGKHLA : Hat Yai Municipality has rushed to declare its flood-prone areas a "red flag zone" in anticipation of heavy floods striking within six hours. Shoppers stock up on essentials in Songkhla’s Hat Yai district yesterday in case of severe flooding in the lower South’s main commercial and tourist district. Heavy rains continue over the region and residents fear a repeat of the tragedy that has struck many in recent weeks in the Northeast and Central Plains provinces. WICHAYANT BOONCHOTE The municipality has urged 3,500 residents to evacuate. The municipality was harshly criticised for reacting slowly to the severe floods in the province's commercial hub in 2000, hence the hurry to announce the emergency zone. Hat Yai mayor Prai Pattano yesterday said he expected the flooding to be more severe than in 2000. He told people to stockpile dried food and take their cars to higher ground. The announcement caused heavy traffic jams in the municipality as motorists competed for parking and shopping mall parking spaces were quickly snapped up. Mobile phone communication failed as people called the municipality for updates on the flooding, overloading the system. Some parts of Hat Yai are already under water. Many schools in the municipality were closed yesterday and three hospitals in the province were forced to evacuate patients. Somdet Phra Boromrachininat Hospital in Na Thawi district and Sadao Hospital in Sadao district were flooded and had to relocate patients to other hospitals. Na Thawi Hospital had to temporarily open its outpatients department at Na Thawi district office, Public Health Minister Jurin $$$$$navisit said yesterday. Hat Yai Central Hospital, which has 2,000 patients, could be the next victim as heavy rain is continuing, Mr Jurin said. He told the hospital to beef up its flood prevention measures and stockpile liquefied oxygen for emergency use. Songkhla governor Winyu Tongsakul said the flooding prompted the province to declare Hat Yai, Na Thawi and Sadao, together with its other flood-hit districts of Chana, Thepha, Rattaphum, Bang Klam, Khlong Hoi Khong, Na Mom and Saba Yoi, disaster zones. The Meteorological Department has warned people in the South to brace for more rain over the next two days because of the influence of a depression in the Gulf of Thailand. The storm was 280 kilometres off the coast yesterday and was expected to arrive on the mainland today somewhere between Nakhon Si Thammarat and Surat Thani, said Wanchai Sakudomchai, the director for meteorology for the eastern coast of the South. Khuan Don was worst hit with two mosques and state agencies in two tambons _ Yan Sue and Khuan Don _ inundated. About 1,150 households were affected. Schools in Phatthalung and Pattani have also been closed due to floods. Phatthalung governor Phisit Boonchuang yesterday warned people living near the Banthad mountain range in Pa Bon, Si Banphot, Kong Ra and Tamot districts to stay alert to the possibility of mudslides. In Surat Thani, ferocious waves damaged 80 metres of a sea wall built along a seaside road in Don Sak district while 675 households in Phanom and Khian Sa districts were affected by flooding, the province's disaster prevention and mitigation centre said. His Majesty the King, who has been keeping a close watch on the flood situation in the South, has donated one million baht through the Internal Security Operations Command's 4th Region to buy relief supplies. The King yesterday also donated another 10 million baht to help flood-affected people in the central and northeastern provinces. |

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies
Hi there everyone,
Sad to hear the calmities happening in LOS Hatyai city. Rain will definitely stop over there, if the Pahang River over here, is flooded, but at present, the Pahang river looks very crystal clear and smooth. It is the usual yearly affair and also a yearly prediction. This is one of the NATURE ways of telling the Humans not to mistreat them and put more care and tenderness. So be prepared for more water companionships until after the Deepavali holidays for 3 more days. take good care, all bros..... |
