BANGKOK, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Torrential rains caused flash floods as high as two meters in some areas in Thailand's eastern seaside resort province of ChonBuri on Sunday, inundating hundreds of houses and causing some damage, the Thai News Agency reported.

    Rains are forecast to continue for two more days. Many villages in Chonburi's coastal Banglamung district were submerged Saturday night after heavy downpours brought flash floods in the areas.

    The floods caused heavy damage to hundreds of homes and buildings, roads and other infrastructure.

    Some villagers said they were unprepared as floods hit the areas quickly and they never experienced such a large scale flood before.

    Rescue workers rushed to help the flood victims with boats but relief efforts were hampered as a main road was cut due to two-meter high waters and some parts of the road were impassable.

    Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department issued its updated weather forecast, warning residents in the Eastern region, particularly in Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat provinces to brace for possible flash floods and water run-off on Sunday and Monday. Enditem
