Thailand, located at the center of Southeast Asia, is bordered by Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos, the Andaman Sea, and the Gulf of Thailand. Thailand is vulnerable to riverine, flash, and coastal flooding, tropical cyclones, and droughts. Floods, the major natural hazard, are likely to increase with climate change. The resultant increase in intense rainfall events will lead to irregular riverbank overflow, flash floods in urban areas, landslides and flash floods in mountain areas, along with flooding in coastal areas from sea-level rises.
