This is the dramatic moment a storm battered a house in southern Thailand.

CCTV footage shows how the violent gales flattened small trees and toppled electric posts as it tore through the property in Nakhon Si Thammarat province on November 26. A drone video shows panels ripped from the roof of the neighbouring home.

Homeowner Korrapon Sirisuk, owner of Nine Drone Sichon, said: 'The damage to my house alone was more than 8,000 baht. Mostly, the damage was caused by trees falling on electricity poles. The roof of the house next door was completely wrecked.'

Residents said the storm that hit the Sichon district lasted for around 15 minutes. It damaged more than 10 houses and toppled dozens of durian trees at an orchard.

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) issued a weather advisory warning of heavy rainfall in the south, strong winds and waves over the lower Gulf of Thailand, and cool to cold weather in the upper part of the country.

The department reported that a moderate to rather strong high-pressure system from China would extend over upper Thailand and the South China Sea.

The northeast monsoon prevailing over the Gulf of Thailand and the South was expected to strengthen, while an active low-pressure cell over the lower South China Sea would move through the lower South and Malaysia into the lower Andaman Sea.

Heavy to very heavy rains were predicted in several southern provinces, including Songkhla.

The TMD urged residents in affected areas to be cautious of flash floods and overflows, especially near waterways, foothills, and low-lying areas.

The strengthening winds were expected to cause waves in the upper Gulf and the Andaman Sea to reach about 6.6 feet (2 metres) and exceed 6.6 feet (2 metres) in thundershowers.

In the lower Gulf, waves were forecast to rise between 6.6ft and 9.8ft, exceeding 9.8ft (3m).
