The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) reported on Monday that severe flooding continues to affect 19 provinces across Thailand, impacting 84 districts, 541 sub-districts, and more than 3,000 villages.
The disaster has so far affected 109,426 households, or about 369,700 people, with 22 deaths confirmed.
As of 6am Monday, floodwaters remain in Uttaradit, Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, Sukhothai, Phichit, Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chai Nat, Sing Buri, and Ang Thong.
Suphan Buri, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom, Chaiyaphum, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, Yasothon, and Chachoengsao are also still experiencing flooding.
A total of 22 fatalities have been reported – one in Phitsanulok, eight in Uttaradit, one in Phichit, eight in Ayutthaya, and three in Yasothon.
Authorities have urged residents in low-lying and riverside areas to remain on high alert as water levels continue to rise across several provinces.
The DDPM said it is coordinating closely with provincial offices to accelerate relief efforts.
More than 790 disaster-relief machines and vehicles have been deployed from regional centers to 25 provinces to assist with flood prevention, emergency operations, rescues, and post-flood recovery.
In response to the widespread damage, the government has approved financial aid of 9,000 baht per household for families affected by this year’s floods.
The measure follows a resolution passed by the National Disaster Management Committee during its first meeting of 2025 on October 6.
All provinces have been instructed to urgently survey affected areas and compile accurate household lists to ensure relief payments are delivered quickly and fairly.
Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has emphasized the need for timely support and transparent distribution of assistance.
