A father watched in horror as a flash flood destroyed his family's house.<br /><br />Sornram Jriensri, 24, was forced to flee the single-story building after heavy rain caused a deluge in Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Thailand. <br /><br />The father-of-one watched from the other side of the road as a powerful torrent first ripped off the front half of the building and washed it away. Just a small part of it was left standing after the water subsided.<br /><br />Somran and wife Hemmawan, who have a son Nong, three, and live there with his aunt, now face a bill of at least 500,000 Baht (11,400GBP) bill to rebuild the home after the floods which have so far killed at least 15 people across Thailand’s southern regions.<br /><br />The chef said: ‘’The flood came very fast and strong in one go. The house broke down. It took a long time and a lot of money to build the house.<br /><br />‘’I was shocked at how powerful the water was. One moment there was a road and suddenly it became a river. More powerful than the river. <br /><br />‘’I’m sad. It will take a lot of work to make the house again.''<br /><br />Tens of thousands of people have been left without power and many more homeless following the floods across southern Thailand. <br /><br />Nakhon Sri Thammarat has been the worst hit region with at least two people drowned in the waters. The region’s airport was also closed after being swamped by floodwaters.
