Torrential rain and flooding across southern Thailand have killed at least six people, said officials on Friday.
At least 120,000 households have been affected, as well as many roads and public spaces.
The downpours have been going on for nearly a week, delaying flights and disrupting holiday travel during the peak tourist season.
The nine affected southern provinces include Phatthalung, Narathiwat, Yala, Songkhla, Pattani, Trang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani, and Chumphon.
Normally, it is a cooler and dry season from early November through January in Thailand.
The director of Thailand’s General Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation has asked officials of 15 provinces to get prepared for potential flood and mudflow.
