Default Tourists stranded by floods in Thailand

Heavy rain and floods have stranded hundreds of tourists, including
Australians, in southern Thailand including the popular islands of Ko
Tao and Ko Samui.Disaster relief operations have been ongoing for
several days, but authorities here say that up to 3,000 local people
and foreign tourists remain cut off.

Thailand's Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department said the
floods, which have killed seven local people, continue to plague the
districts of Surat Thani, Phatthalung and Chumphon.
