The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Consulate General of Malaysia in Songkhla and the Embassy of Malaysia in Bangkok, continues to closely monitor the flooding situation in Hat Yai and several districts in Songkhla province.

As of this afternoon, approximately 4,000 Malaysians in Hat Yai and nearby areas are affected by the floods. All are reported to be safe, as most are staying in multi-storey hotels. However, some Malaysians are experiencing temporary electricity outages and reduced access to food due to localised disruptions.

Thai Tourist Police and local authorities have been fully mobilised and are actively managing the situation.

Weather conditions are anticipated to improve, with heavy rainfall expected to cease tomorrow. Flood levels are projected to recede, and the overall situation is expected to improve by Monday.

The Consulate General of Malaysia in Songkhla has activated its operations team to assist Malaysians who may be stranded or in need of support. The Consulate remains in close communication with local authorities, hotels, and Malaysian groups in the affected areas.

Malaysians in Hat Yai and surrounding districts are advised to remain indoors where possible, follow the instructions of local authorities, and exercise caution around flood-affected areas. Malaysians who have not yet registered with the Consulate General in Songkhla or the Embassy in Bangkok are strongly urged to do so.
