Update: BBC News also has a story today:
Severe floods in southern Thailand have killed 53 people, officials say, as rains begin to ease after two weeks.
The unseasonably wet weather has inundated 10 provinces, affecting two million people and forcing more than 40,000 to flee their homes.
Thousands of roads and bridges and hundreds of buildings have been damaged, and swathes of land remain swamped by flood waters.
The cabinet has allocated 6.13bn baht (£120m) to help flood victims.
Many of those killed were swept away by flash floods or buried in mudslides caused by the unseasonable downpours.
One person is missing in Nakhon Si Thammarat, one of the worst-hit provinces, the public health ministry said.
Today’s Bangkok Post: Floods receding, death toll 53:
he floodwaters in eight afflicted southern provinces have begun to recede, but the confirmed death toll has risen to 53, Public Health Minister Jurin Laksanavisit said on Tuesday.
Mr Jurin was speaking during his visit to the Khirirat hospital in Surat Thani’s Khirirat district.
He said the floods in Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Trang, Songkhla, Phangnga and Krabi had begun to subside and the situation was expected to return to normal soon.
However, the water level in Phunphin district of Surat Thani was still high.
