More than 400 homes in Bangkham Village, in the Sri Soonthorn sub-district, have cracks in them following the quake on April 16.
Local resident Chum Niyompong, 56, said her home was one of the quake-damaged houses that was now very wet inside due to the constant rainfall.
“There has been no compensation yet from any provincial authorities, including the Srisoothorn Tambon Administrative Organisation (OrBorTor). We want officials to help us fix our houses urgently – the rain is leaking through our houses,” Ms Chum said.
San Chantarawong, Chief of the Provincial Disaster Prevention Centre said the damaged homes in Bangkham were urgent cases.
Phuket authorities have approved payment of B1.3 million in compensation to 422 Sri Soonthorn households affected by the April quake.
Each household will receive up to B20,000 to make repairs to their home.
“There is a meeting being held regarding this and I expect we will be able to pay all compensation money by May 10,” Mr San said.
