SURAT THANI: — Heavy rain and flooding on the popular Gulf of
Thailand tourist destination of Samui island are still severe and the island’s
airport has suspended operations.

Heavy downpours are continuing in the province for the third consecutive day.

Flood levels in some parts of the commercial centre and tourist sites on
Samui are as high as one metre.

Some roads have been cut off. Samui airport suspended service Thursday morning
due to heavy rain, and more than 1,000 travellers have been left stranded.

Meanwhile, ferry services to Samui island still operate as usual but the number
of cars being carried has dropped by half due to the bad weather conditions, according
to an official at the waterfront.
