Bangkok - A mudslide on Thailand's popular Chang Island killed at least one person Monday and swept away several bungalows, media reports said.
Torrential rains that started Sunday night washed away part of the mountainside near White Sand beach, hitting the ring road and the Rock Sand Resort, Thai online news services reported.
A Cambodian national working as a maid at the resort died when her bungalow was buried by mud.
Several other nearby resorts were also hit by the mudslide.
During the past decade, there has been illegal construction and defacing of the mountain range that runs down the centre of Chang Island, located 250 kilometres south-east of Bangkok in the Gulf of Thailand.
