Patong Police Station hit by Phuket flooding, again

PHUKET: Patong Police are scrambling to move everything from the first floor to the second floor as their station is swamped for a second time in two days by Phuket flash floods.

“The water is about up to our knees in the station,” said Lt Col Suttichai Tianpho of the Patong Police.

“The computers and case files are still on the second floor due to the flooding yesterday,” he said. “Right now, we’re getting the refrigerator to the second floor.”

About two hours of steady, heavy rain led to the station being flooded, Col Suttichai noted.
