A village was submerged as Typhoon Kajiki spawned flash floods in northern Thailand.

The residential area was inundated by the raging deluge in Phayao province on August 27.

Authorities said the area was cut off by floodwaters, leaving residents stranded in the village.

The village council leader said disaster response officers were surveying the affected households to report to relevant agencies.

He said: 'If the situation persists, we will coordinate with Mae Ka Subdistrict Municipality to immediately deliver relief bags and essential supplies to those affected.'

Locals in low-lying areas were urged to evacuate to higher ground.

Officials said at least four people were killed and five were missing after the storm triggered landslides in the region.

Vietnam has recently been battered by Typhoon Kajiki, which made landfall on Monday, leaving at least seven people dead, one missing, and 34 others injured. Officials said more than 7,000 homes were damaged during the storm.

On August 27, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) said Kajiki had weakened into a low-pressure system over northern Thailand. Despite the storm's dissipation, heavy rainfall was expected to continue in the region for at least two days.
