Thailand continues recovery as waters recede, death toll hits 87<br /><br />The death toll from floods across eight southern provinces in Thailand has risen to 87, the Thai government said in a statement on Nov. 28, 2025, adding that more than 3.5 million people have been affected. <br /><br />In the southern city of Hat Yai, the hardest-hit part of Thailand, the rain has finally stopped, but residents are still ankle-deep in floodwater and many remain without electricity as they assess the damage caused to their property over the past week. <br /><br />Aerial footage from TPBS on Nov. 27, showed grey skies over Hat Yai and miles of roads engulfed by brown water, with heavy-duty trucks crawling along wide thoroughfares past abandoned cars and lorries, as groups of people waded slowly through knee-deep water. <br /><br />Large parts of Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia have been stricken by cyclone-fueled torrential rain for a week, with a rare tropical storm forming in the Malacca Strait. Authorities in the region said on that the death toll from the floods has risen to at least 183. <br />
