As of the beginning of mid of October Thailand is facing one of the most disastrous floods in history. The flooding had claimed about 450 lives, affecting more than 3 million households, displacing tens of thousands of people from their homes. Moreover, the flood has disrupted industries in which Thailand plays a significant role in the global supply chain. The waters have entirely submerged seven industrial estates with a total investment of 0.4 trillion baht.
