Floods and the Waste Crisis: Hat Yai’s Need for Sustainable Recovery
- In November 2025, record-breaking rainfall in Hat Yai caused severe flooding due to its basin-like geography and poor urban drainage.
- The flood generated over 100,000 tons of waste, polluting waterways and raising risks of renewed flooding and environmental and economic damage.
- The government is organizing a cleanup, while civil society proposes a “waste bank” model for waste sorting, energy use, and involving victims in recovery.
