Heavy rains in the northern province of Phitsanulok have caused the Yom River to overflow and inundate a vast area of farmland.
Meanwhile, flooding has forced an estimated 15,000 people in northeastern Ubonratchathani and Si Saket provinces to evacuate.
Nearly 100,000 people in central Ayuthaya province are also living in one to two metres of deep floodwater.
