Landslide susceptibility is classified as high in Thailand. This indicates that because of the rainfall patterns, terrain slopes, geology, soil, land cover, and (potentially) earthquakes in this area, localized landslides are a common dangerous event.
Based on this information, planning choices such as project siting, design, and construction methods must include the possibility of landslides. The landslide danger is one of Thailand's main natural disasters, causing massive loss of life and property. When catastrophic flooding and landslides occurred in Kathun district, Nakhon Sithammarat Province, southern Thailand in 1988, public awareness increased substantially, with approximately 230 casualties in Ban Kathun Nua.
Hello Destiny!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job of explaining the events occurring in Thailand. Based on, the Global fatal landslide occurrence from 2004 to 2016 research Asia the area in that has the highest number of events: 75 % of them being landslide. Keep up the great work!

Hello, Destiny
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised to hear that Thailand is at high risk for landslides. When I hear the word Thailand I usually think about a green landscape. We all know rainfall is one of the primary reasons for landslides. I enjoyed reading your post this week great job!
