Phuket Residents Renew Complaints Over Nearly 20 Years of Flooding in Ratsada Lane

Residents in Soi Suwan in Ratsada, Mueang district, Phuket, have again raised complaints about recurring flooding that they say has continued for nearly 20 years.

On July 1, reporters said the Facebook page Shadow Phuket posted a message and images reflecting the hardship faced by people in the area. The post focused on residents in Soi Suwan, in Ratsada subdistrict, who have been dealing with repeated flooding for almost two decades.

According to the report, residents said they have filed complaints with multiple agencies, but their concerns have been passed back and forth. The social media post called on relevant authorities to urgently inspect the area.

The report presents the issue as a long-running local problem affecting people living in the lane, with the flooding described as recurring rather than a one-time incident. The images shared by the page were presented as evidence of the residents' ongoing difficulties.

The source did not specify what action authorities had taken as of July 1. It also did not provide further details on the cause of the flooding or identify which agencies had received previous complaints.

The latest post has renewed attention on the residents' demand for a site inspection and a response from the agencies involved.
