Since the beginning of September, at least 23 people have died and another 33 have been injured in floods across the country
Five people have died in floods in northern Thailand, where authorities are warning that more bad weather is expected today, in the middle of the monsoon season.
A flash flood killed five people yesterday Sunday in Phayao province, which borders Laos, the health ministry said.
Since the beginning of September, at least 23 people have died and another 33 have been injured due to flooding across the country, according to the same source.
The Southeast Asian country is bracing for further heavy rains. The Ministry of the Interior declared an alert in 32 provinces, including the capital Bangkok (central) and the island of Phuket (south).
More than 62,000 homes were damaged across Thailand during the rainy season, the interior ministry said.
In 2011, more than 800 people were killed in the kingdom’s worst monsoon floods in decades.
The monsoon season (May-October) brings heavy rains every year, but scientists have warned that there is a risk that bad weather will become much more extensive due to climate deregulation.
