The flood situation in southern Thailand is improving, and all relevant government agencies are accelerating extensive cleanup operations and the restoration of various facilities and utilities to enable local residents to resume their normal lives as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment started a “Big Cleaning” campaign in Songkhla Province, especially in Hat Yai, on 29 November, when over 300 tons of garbage, scraps, and mud were collected. More than 780 personnel, 88 vehicles, and 4,000 equipment items have been sent to operate cleanup activities.

Minister of Commerce Suphajee Suthumpun has instructed the Department of Internal Trade to coordinate with suppliers of essential goods and construction materials to arrange a price reduction campaign in the provinces affected by flooding.

According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), improvements in weather and travel conditions across the southern region have continued, with many destinations operating normally and welcoming visitors. Overall accessibility has increased, and transport services are gradually resuming in several provinces. Airports throughout the region also continue to operate as normal, with only limited delays and localized ground-transfer disruptions.

Travelers are still advised to exercise caution in areas where flooding or strong waves persist, allow extra travel time when travelling to airports, piers, or bus terminals, and monitor official channels for updates, as some routes and services may continue to operate with temporary adjustments.

To assist travelers affected by earlier disruptions, the Immigration Bureau has implemented a temporary exemption on overstay fines for foreign nationals unable to depart due to flooding in eight southern provinces, namely Songkhla, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Trang, Satun, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat. The exemption applies to permitted stays expiring between 20 November and 31 December 2025.

The Emergency Flood Crisis Operations Center on 30 November stated that, although floodwaters were receding in the South, food and drinking water have continued to be distributed to affected people. Clinics have also been established to provide mental health services, operated by mental health crisis assessment and treatment teams from the Ministry of Public Health.

The Ministry of Public Health reported that, as of 30 November, flooding in the South had so far claimed 170 fatalities. Out of this number, 131 were in Songkhla, 10 in Nakhon Si Thammarat, nine in Pattani, five in Yala, five in Satun, four in Phatthalung, four in Narathiwat, and two in Trang.
