Hat Yai flood crisis: 4,000 Malaysians affected but safe, as local authorities and consulate rally to provide aid

SONGKHLA, Nov 23 — About 4,000 Malaysians in Hat Yai and nearby areas have been affected by the ongoing floods, but all are reported to be safe, according to Malaysia’s Foreign Ministry.

In a statement, the ministry said that as of Saturday afternoon, most of the affected individuals were staying in multi-storey hotels, although some were experiencing temporary electricity outages and reduced access to food due to localised disruptions.

“Most Malaysian tourists are stranded in Hat Yai city, and many have reached out for help, particularly for food and baby formula, as they are unable to move due to the high floodwaters,” he said. — Bernama

But Malaysia now receives more foreign tourists than Thailand . A feat of its own .

Thailand foreign tourists until Nov 2025 - 28.28 mil

Malaysia - 28 mil until august 2025

Although per tourist spending we lose surely coz singaporeans Indons that visit us spend fewer days compared to horny westerners/ indians who spend weeks there

Thai airport tax to rise 53% for international flights

The Civil Aviation Board has approved a 53% increase in the passenger service charge, commonly known as the airport tax, for outbound passengers on international flights.

The board on Wednesday approved an application by Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) to raise the charge for international flights from 730 baht to 1,120 baht, said Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn who chaired the meeting.

The passenger service charge is included in the price of airport tickets at the time of purchase. It is expected to take effect early next year.

(Suvarnabhumi airport is one of six major airports operated by Airports of Thailand, with about 35 million international passengers a year passing through them in total.)
