About 270 people have died since late July in the floods, mainly in the centre, north and northeast, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation said.
Floods in Thailand have killed more than 200 people, destroyed farmland, and forced thousands to evacuate low-lying areas near rivers. Surging waters are now threatening a United Nations World Heritage site in the ancient city of Ayutthaya, which officials worry could suffer permanent damage.
Thailand's worst flooding in 5 decades could disrupt the operations of automobile and parts makers that use the Southeast Asian country as a production base, industry analysts said on Monday October10,2011.
