An old woman who was partially buried in a landslide after two days of torrential rains that triggered flash floods in Koh Chang in Trat province was safely rescued, officials said.
Dusit Samutrakapong, chief of the Koh Chang National Park, said on Thursday the tourist-destination island had been hit by heavy rains for two days. More than 200mm of rain have been received since Wednesday night, Dusit said, adding that the heavy rains had caused runoffs from Than Mayom Waterfall and Klong Plue Waterfall to inundate nearby roads.
They found an old woman stuck inside the room that was partially buried after earth from a mountain behind the room slid down because of the rains. The rescuers took about half an hour to free the woman and rushed her to a hospital.
