At least five people have been killed and seven remain missing after heavy rains and landslides brought on by tropical storm Kajiki swept across northern Thailand.
Kajiki made landfall as a typhoon in Vietnam earlier this week, killing seven people.
In Thailand, flooding and landslides hit 12 provinces in the North and Northeast, including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son, affecting more than 6,300 people and 1,800 households.
Four people in Chiang Mai died in a landslide, and another person drowned in Mae Hong Son, an official said.
Fifteen others were injured in Chiang Mai, with another five buried in landslides and two swept away by floodwaters.
The disaster happened in Ban Pang Ung village in tambon Mae Suek at about 3am on Wednesday.
Workers were removing debris from the landslide to reopen roads and prepare for the repair of damaged houses.
Flooding caused by the storm persisted in eight provinces, mostly in the North. The provinces were Chiang Mai, Lampang, Loei, Mae Hong Son, Nakhon Phanom, Phetchabun, Phrae and Uttaradit.
