Koh Samui erklæret katastrofeområde
Saendaeng
The tourist mecca of Koh Samui was officially declared a disaster zone on Thursday after two days and a night of heavy rain inundated the Gulf of Thailand island and grounded all air service.


The rain caused floods in several locations around the island. The water level on the main road was 30 centimetres this afternoon.


Hundreds of tourists were left stranded as weather conditions prevented aircrafts from taking off since late Wednesday.


Authorities were trying to pump water into rivers to alleviate the problem and prevent further flooding if rain comes again. Heavy rain is forecast in and along the Gulf tonight and tomorrow.


Surat Thani provincial office sent 170 soldiers to the island to assist locals and tourists
