A total of 27 people were killed by flood that has hit 25 of 77 provinces throughout the country and brought to factories damages worth $128,000, Thai authorities revealed on Wednesday.

Some 207 districts in 25 provinces, mostly in northern, northeastern and central Thailand are now hit by floods, with more than 2.7 million people affected, while about 6,900 houses, 450, 000 acres of farmland, 2,310 roads and 145 bridges were damaged by the floodwater, according to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.

The flood, caused by monsoon and depression, has struck the country since mid September.

More than 15,000 people living in northeastern Ubonratchathani province and Si Saket province have been evacuated due to inundation.

The Meteorological Department on Tuesday issued a warning for people in central provinces, including Bangkok, to embrace for monsoon which was expected to bring heavy rainfall from Wednesday to Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Industry Ministry has revealed that 39 factories and 14 community enterprises have been affected by floods and damages were initially estimated at 4 million baht ($128,000). Manufacturing has been suspended in four provinces.

Industry Minister Prasert Boonchaisuk said on Wednesday a 24- hour flood monitoring center has been opened to give prompt assistance to industrial operators.

He said the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand has prepared anti-flood measures and a six kilometer dyke to protect the Saha Rattana Nakhon industrial estate in Ayutthaya province, about 80 kilometers north of Bangkok.

In 2011 Thailand was hit by devastating flood in the North, Northeast and Central region, which claimed the lives of more than 500 people and inundated several industrial estates.
