Mayor Sonthaya Kunplome led the team to Pacific Village opposite the closed Hollywood disco in the Nong Aor Community the afternoon of Oct. 3 after three hours of early morning rain.

Rescue volunteers shovel out the sand and mud that came crashing through the wall of this house.

Houses about 150 meters inside the village saw walls collapse and floors covered in mud washed in from runoff from higher elevations that inundated the neighborhood.

The mud was shoveled into bags that will be used later as sandbags to help others survive flooding. City workers also used pumps to dry out homes.

Deputy Mayor Banlue Kullavanijaya hands out relief packages to the people affected by the flooding and mudslides.




Volunteers shovel away the mud on the street inside the housing estate.
