The cabinet approved over 10,508 million baht in additional flood relief on 20 October. Payments are being made as surveys are completed and data reaches the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, with about 700,000 households paid so far. Registration is open; claims are screened for duplicates and for whether the claimant is a tenant or owner. In Hat Yai, residents fear a repeat of the 2025 flood after 100 mm of rain, but the PM gave no firm guarantee, only that preparation is underway. For a business in the south: check whether your premises or property qualify for relief, and plan for flood disruption to stock, access and staffing.
