Heavy Rain Triggers Flash Floods in Three Phuket Districts
Heavy rain caused flash floods across three Phuket districts on Nov 2, submerging roads in Mueang Phuket, Kathu, and Thalang and disrupting traffic.
Phuket experienced severe weather with thunder, strong winds, and continuous heavy rain across three districts — Mueang Phuket, Kathu, and Thalang — causing flash flooding on roads and disrupting traffic. At 5:30 PM on November 2, 2026, reporters noted the adverse conditions covering all three districts, leading to waterlogged streets. In Mueang Phuket, flooding was reported on Pracha Uthit 1 Road opposite the Paneng branch of SuperCheap, in front of Kong Ngoen shop, and at the Na Wa Rak intersection in Rassada subdistrict. In Patong, Kathu district, heavy rain caused flooding near Simon Cabaret on Sirirach Road. Additionally, mountain runoff from the 50-year-old hill flowed onto Na Nai Road in Patong, creating strong currents that hindered travel for residents and motorists. Authorities urge the public and tourists to exercise caution, avoid driving through fast-flowing water, and monitor the situation closely.
