PATTANI, Thailand – Flooding remains critical in Southern Thailand as continuous heavy rain causes river levels to rise, leaving Pattani town underwater.
All 12 districts of Pattani are now submerged, affecting over 200,000 residents. Authorities confirmed one additional death, bringing the province’s total flood-related fatalities to three. In Pattani Municipal Area, floodwaters exceed 50 centimetres on roads, forcing closures.

All seven districts of Satun are now affected, and over 80 schools have been closed. Travel is severely hampered as key roads are impassable. (TNA)
