Hua Hin spared as tropical depression hits south hua hin, thailand and transport to and from the areas
A few weeks ago AWOL reported on the heaviest rainfall known in this area for ten years, but this week we can all be thankful for avoiding, and feel great pity for the poor souls who have been battered by, the tropical depression that passed through the southern provinces in the last week. Millions of baht have been pledged by the Thai Royal Family and other generous donators, plus millions more have already been spent in the rescue work in areas such as Hat Yai (pictured) and Ko Samui, with many areas being without power for many days. Estimates are that 50 billion baht will be needed to repair the roads and other damaged infrastructure in
all flood affected areas of Thailand. Thankfully the depression has now passed across Thailand and has been downgraded to a storm, and it must be hoped that no further weather systems follow, to allow the area to recover. Latest figures are that 142 people have died due to the flooding in the last few weeks. Despite being spared the direct affects of the extreme weather, the indirect affects will make travel
tricky for quite a while yet - for example the airport at Ko Samui was still closed at time of writing, and anyone planning a trip down south or up north in the next few days may have to rethink their plans. Bus and train station phone numbers can be found on page 4.
