Flood waters begin to recede after Tropical storm Pabuk hits the province of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Pabuk is the first tropical storm outside of monsoon season to hit the country in 68 years. It brought heavy rain, storm surges and landslides to some parts, causing injuries and impacting thousands of lives.

Thailand is particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events. Since the 1970s, the number and severity of tropical cyclones to make landfall has increased.
