Continuous heavy rainfall has led to flooding in several low-lying areas of Koh Larn Island, impacting numerous homes. Residents of the Krok Makham community urgently requested sandbags to mitigate further damage. In response, Pattaya City delivered 400 sandbags, transporting them on two boats from Bali Hai Pier to Na Baan Pier for distribution to the affected residents.
While flooding primarily affected lower-lying areas, Pattaya City is also focusing on long-term infrastructure improvements, including a new water treatment facility and a rainwater drainage system. Despite these challenges, Koh Larn continues to attract an average of 8,000 tourists daily, with numbers reaching up to 20,000 during peak times. Ongoing development and infrastructure upgrades aim to meet the island’s growing needs.
