A total of 377 people were confirmed dead and two people were missing in the floods that have inundated the upper part of the country for almost three months, according to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.

Four more people were found dead on October 27 in the central provinces of Phichit and Sing Buri.

The central province of Nakhon Sawan has the highest death toll of 55, followed by the central province of Phichit, with 50 people killed by floods.

Flash floods caused by the heavy monsoon "Nock-Ten" have hit the country since mid July.

Floods still prevail in 27 of 77 provinces, affecting about 730,000 households and 2.2 million people.

The situation in 36 provinces, mostly in the north, has slowly been recovering, the report said.

About 50 main highways in many provinces are flooded and cannot be passed. Eighteen north-bound train routes have been cancelled.
