According to the Ministry of Health, as a result of the floods, at least 19 people have died, mostly due to electric shock injuries and drowning incidents.

As of November 25, 2025, floods have already affected 9 provinces of Thailand, as well as several states of neighboring Malaysia, where over 18,500 people have been forced to evacuate to shelters. In the city of Hat Yai, which has become the epicenter of the flooding disaster, a record 335 mm of rainfall was recorded in one day, the highest in three decades.
