.Trains to the region have been cancelled and several airports shut. Flights are now landing at Koh Samui, but a backlog is causing long delays.
.The Thai navy has evacuated about 1,200 stranded tourists from Koh Samui and Koh Tao on its only aircraft carrier.

.The provinces of Chumphon, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani, Trang, Krabi and Phatthalung have been the hardest hit. Rising floodwaters have hampered relief efforts.
