Phuket Authorities Clear Landslide Debris in Patong
A team of 50 volunteers has been deployed to clear soil and rock debris from a road in Patong following a landslide.
According to a report by Matichon Online, authorities in Phuket have mobilized a team of 50 volunteers (Or Sor) to conduct emergency cleanup operations in the Patong area. The intervention follows a landslide that deposited significant amounts of soil and rock onto Soi Na Nai, a local road.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the ongoing risks associated with heavy rainfall and mountainous terrain in Phuket. While the cleanup is currently underway to restore traffic flow, those planning to travel through Patong should anticipate potential delays or temporary road closures while heavy machinery and personnel work to clear the debris.
At this stage, it remains to be confirmed how long the cleanup process will take and whether the road will require further structural assessments to ensure safety against future landslides. Travelers are advised to monitor local traffic updates and exercise caution when navigating roads near mountainous zones during or immediately after periods of intense rain. Local authorities have not yet provided a definitive timeline for the full reopening of the affected section of Soi Na Nai.
