Songkhla's governor has ordered pumps placed at repeat flood spots and a central equipment hub, and the Songkhla Chamber of Commerce says businesses should plan now. Reservoirs are only about 28% full, so there is room to absorb rain, but river levels remain below banks. Chamber estimates Hat Yai's recovery at roughly 70-80%, with around 20% of businesses possibly unable to reopen. For a Hat Yai shop: prepare a flood plan per business, move stock, equipment and valuables to higher ground before water rises, and follow National Thai Water app and Water Chart for alerts.
