Patong Police have confirmed minor landslips at three locations: one in Soi Petchkut; another affecting an unregistered house in Soi Khok Moo off Sirirat Rd; and another in front of the 7-Eleven on Muen-ngern Rd on the way to Tri Trang Beach.
Patong Deputy Mayor Lalita Maneesri, along with other officials, members of the Patong Municipality Council and staff from the Patong Municipality Engineering Division, visited Soi Khok Moo after receiving a report of a landslide.
She instructed the relevant agencies to bring in machinery and excavators to clear the soil that was blocking the road, so residents could travel safely and easily.
The landslip occurred on a road next to a steep hill where tree cover had been removed, making the area prone to more landslides, especially if the rain continues, Patong Municipality noted in its report.
There are several people living nearby, increasing the risk, the report added.
Patong Police were also called to Soi 6, Kalim, where a house was damaged by a tree that had fallen onto the home after another small soil slide.
The home suffered damaged, but no injuries were reported.
