The PM says the rainy season is nearing its end, but he has ordered southern provinces, from upper southern Thailand to Narathiwat, to prepare for flooding. Flood relief has reached about 135,000 households in five transfers, totalling about 1,069 million baht, at 9,000 baht per recipient. The government wants relief paid by district and province as lists are verified. Flood insurance under a government-backed policy is also expected to pay out from 1 October onward. For a business in the south, check whether your area is on the list, keep damage evidence and photos, and be ready for quick document checks.
