【 摘 要 】

This report outlines these findings,including damage and loss estimates and social and economicimpacts, and proposes strategies for resilient recovery andreconstruction planning. Heavy rain combined with multipletropical storms throughout the extended rainy season playeda large part in the extensive flooding. Flash floods werereported in several areas in the north in May, and tropicaldepression Haima arrived in June followed by Nock-Ten inJuly, the combination of which caused widespread flooding.Overall, the floods affected more than 13 million people andresulted in more than 680 deaths. The floods impactedheavily on the private sector, particularly manufacturing.Manufacturing makes up about 38.5 percent of Thailand'sGross Domestic Product (GDP) and is one of the main driversof Thailand's exports. The majority of manufacturersare located in five flood-affected provinces, namelyBangkok, Ayuthaya, Nakhon Sawan, Pathum Thani, and SamutSakhon. Tourism, housing and the financial sector were alsoheavily affected. Though there was some damage to tourisminfrastructure, the greatest impact came from losses inrevenue from accommodation, transportation, shopping, foodand beverages, entertainment and sightseeing. Recovery andreconstruction needs are estimated to be THB 1.5 trillion(USD 50 billion) over a five-year period.
