Heavy floods and continuous rains have forced suspension of schools in 13

districts of Narathiwat, which were declared flood disaster zones on Sunday,

said Adul Promsaeng, director of the Education Service Area 2 Office.

“Some schools should be able to reopen within three days after the has water

receded. They will be restored with help from soldiers and classes can resume

by Thursday, January 13.

The flood prevention and mitigation centre for Narathiwat said the floods have

affected 36.908 people from 11,053 families in 284 villages in the 13 districts.

The torrential rains caused the three main rivers in the province to burst their

banks and flooded houses nearby ruining 9,000 rai of farmland and washing out

67 roads.

Vegetable exportations to Malaysia were severely disrupted as the road

connecting Thailand to her neighbour was covered with water making travel and

transport in both directions and resulting in products going rotten inside

warehouses,

On Sunday, Narathiwat Govenor Kissada Boonrat urged people to closely

monitor their surroundings and move immediately to the second floor of their

houses if water levels rose further.
