Floodwaters are receding in Narathiwat but are now causing significant inundation downstream in neighboring Yala and Pattani provinces.
Pattani province is experiencing serious flooding, with its economic zone and over 300 houses submerged, rendering some roads impassable.
Inefficient early warning systems left many unprepared, unable to protect valuables, as highlighted by a climate expert.
