A mudslide in Nanai Road in Patong Beach around midday cost the lives of three Burmese workers, who were picking up construction equipment on a construction site. The landslide happened because of the (ongoing) rains of the last monsoon front to hit Phuket.
As reports in local media go, one of the workers was buried initially by the mud falling from a steep incline in the construction project of a new apartment block in Soi Nanai, where a retaining wall to prevent the plot of land behind becoming instable was being built. Two of his comrades tried to help the man and were also buried by earth falling on them during their rescue attempt. All three suffocated before they could be dug out with heavier equipment.
