Since November 24, 2023, the flood situation in Pattani Province has been affected by a strong low-pressure system covering the areas of the lower South China Sea, moving past the Gulf of Thailand and the lower southern region towards the Andaman Sea. This, coupled with the northeastern monsoon covering the Gulf of Thailand and the south that had become stronger, resulted in more rain, with heavy to very heavy rain prevailing in some areas. The affected areas included 4 districts, 46 subdistricts, 202 villages, 2 communities, with 7,631 households suffering and 2 fatalities.
