JAKARTA - The death toll from large floods in the southern region of Thailand continues to grow. As of Saturday 29 November, the total number of deaths reached 162 people. Songkhla Province became the most affected area after reporting 126 fatalities.

Other provinces that also recorded death toll included Nakhon Si Thammarat (nine), Pattani (seven), Satun (five), Yala (five), Phathalung (four), Narathiwat (four), and Trang (two).

Quoted from the National Thailand, Sunday, November 30, a spokesman for the Thai government, Siripong Angkasangulkiat explained, the current weather conditions are starting to improve and the intensity of rain is decreasing.

If this situation continues, local authorities are expected to be able to drain the remaining flood in three to five days.

The government also asked provincial drinking water authorities to accelerate the recovery of clean water supplies. Meanwhile, electricity supply has recovered by more than 80%. There are still around 20,000 houses that have not received electricity because the process of checking the safety of electrical installations is still ongoing.

Local governments are currently starting to carry out massive cleaning by providing a garbage collection point so that residents can easily dispose of post-flood debris.
