the south have killed 25 people and displaced more than 1 million.
According to the Interior Ministry, 12 southern provinces were submerged due to severe flooding, the worst in 30 years.
The Thai Meteorological Department attributed the heavy rain starting January 1 to the northeast monsoon.
The flooding has affected about 370,000 households and some farms, and shut down an airport runway and blocked a major road, according to government officials.
