Pattaya digs out from Vamco as 5 provinces declared disasters
Pattaya residents are removing fallen trees, digging out mud and filling more sandbags after tropical depression Vamco lashed Chon Buri and four other provinces which have been declared disaster zones by the government.
The Interior Ministry said 14 tambons in eight districts in Chanthaburi, Chon Buri. Si Sa Ket, Surin and Tak have been inundated since Sunday with the heaviest rain and damage coming on 16 September.
In Chon Buri, Pattaya City took the brunt of the damage, its much-maligned drainage system completely overrun by hours of rain.
