Tourists who visited Soi Bua khao and Walking Street to enjoy pubs, bars, and other night entertainment had to find shelters to hide from the strong winds and heavy rains.

The water subsided in about one to two hours after the prompt tropical storm, but some of the houses, shops and night businesses took much more time to clean up and repair the damages.
