Authorities are evacuating flood-residents in Yala, as higher than average precipitation across the three southernmost border provinces since Monday have inundated over 18,000 households in the region.
As a result of the continued rain, the Sai Buri River in Yala broke its banks, inundating homes and farmlands across Raman district.
Soldiers used boats to evacuate residents and their properties, as the main road in Rueso district which connects Yala and Narathiwat was cut off by the flood.
Local government agencies also distributed food and other aid to flood-affected households in the area.
