The floods affected over 9.4 million people across the country, Xinhua reported.
Capital city Bangkok’s outer areas have been inundated and one airport badly hit.
One of the most severe in over half a century, the disaster caused by heavy monsoon rains and tropical storms damaged hundreds of roads and highways. Thousands of factories were inundated, putting over 600,000 employees at risk of losing their jobs, officials said.
