Nakhon Si Thammarat endured a three-day stretch of storms, heavy rainfall, and intense winds between November 9-11, 2026. The continuous downpour and gale-force gusts inflicted significant damage across the southern province, resulting in the collapse of nearly ten power poles in Khanom district and roofs blown off homes in Pak Phanang district. As a consequence, numerous residents were compelled to evacuate their homes and find refuge with relatives for safety.
The persistent heavy rainfall over three days disrupted daily life across the region, with overcast skies and rising water levels in local canals. In response, the Thai Meteorological Department issued a weather warning, urging residents to remain vigilant from November 9 to 13. Nakhon Si Thammarat Deputy Governor Theerapong Chuaychu visited the affected areas, inspecting the damage and collaborating with the Provincial Electricity Authority's Khanom office to restore power services.
He also directed officials to ensure unimpeded road access and provide necessary assistance to residents in Pak Phanang district.
