FLOODS in the South have claimed 25 lives, with two people reported missing and more than a million people affected, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department said Tuesday.
The National Disaster Warning Centre said Tuesday that Phetchaburi and Kanchanaburi would also face heavy rain and flooding until Thursday.
The weather bureau also said that the upper South, notably Phetchaburi and Prachuap, will face heavy rain, possible flooding and landslides, as well as waves up to three metres in the Gulf and Andaman Sea.
This means the situation could worsen in Prachuap, where Bang Saphan district has been subject to torrential rain and flooding since Monday night, which also blocked sections of Phetkasem Highway.
