[Southern Thailand Flood] Netizens Urge Victims to Hang 'Red' or 'White' Flags to Aid Rescue Teams

The severe flooding in Hat Yai, Thailand continues to worsen, with rising water levels and many stranded Malaysians seeking help. Rescue teams are stretched thin, prompting some netizens to urge victims to hang 'red flags' or 'white flags' to help rescue teams identify and reach them more easily.

According to a post shared on Facebook by the 'Hat Yai Travel Sharing Station' page, a netizen called on those trapped in Hat Yai to hang red or white flags to make it easier for rescue teams to locate them.

In addition, many netizens have expressed on Facebook that the flood situation in Hat Yai has not improved, and in some areas the flooding is even worse than before. Some family members or friends of those trapped reported losing contact with them, while others said there are children among the victims who have started developing fever.

Some netizens also shared updates on the 'HTL - Hat Yai Life Tourism Sharing' platform about local victims, saying that four tuition teachers from Kulim are stranded in a guesthouse and have already lost contact. One of them was bitten by a centipede and developed a fever, but rescue teams have not yet reached them.
