Heavy rain in Khanom, Nakhon Si Thammarat, eroded a temporary detour road while the main route remains open. At 4:00 PM on October 20, 2026, reporters documented heavy rainfall in Khanom district causing flash floods that eroded the temporary detour road near Tha Noi Bridge, close to the PTT Tha Noi gas station, on the Klong Hleng-Khanom road construction route. The road surface subsided.
Deputy Governor Teerapong Chuaysu ordered Khanom District Chief Naphon Kaewmali to inspect the site and coordinate with the highway department and project contractors to urgently clear drainage and deploy machinery to repair the road. However, the detour damage does not affect traffic as all vehicles can use the completed main road. Authorities were instructed to install warning signs and improve lighting for safety.
Nakhon Si Thammarat province warned the public to exercise extra caution when traveling during heavy rain, especially in construction zones, detour roads, and areas with water flow. If road abnormalities are found, avoid the area and follow warning signs or official instructions strictly.
Same day at 5:00 PM, lightning struck the spire of Wat Kalyanarimit in Klong Noi subdistrict, Pak Phanang district, Nakhon Si Thammarat, causing total destruction of the spire and the temple's entire electrical system. No injuries were reported. Electricity officials have already begun urgent repairs.
