Landslides are a risk in Thailand, during periods of intense rainfall. These often happen during floods, and so the damage from this rain is dangerous.
This image shows some of the slides in the Krabi Province in March of 2011. These slides were brought about when lots of water entered the soil layer, and then slipped off. Landslides in Thailand almost always come during the rainy season, and so they are affected by mudslides most often. Resources: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=49976
Like my country of choice, Argentina, Thailand has a high risk for mass wasting due to mountainous regionns situated iin central portion of the country.Also, like Argentina, rainfall is frequent and intense, causing muslides.
