Abstract

Extreme weather events, including landslides and debris flows, are on the rise in Thailand, posing significant threats to human life and infrastructure. The chapter delves into the classification and causes of landslides, with a focus on the northern and southern regions of the country. It discusses various mitigation measures, such as relocation, warning systems, and structural reinforcements, and highlights the challenges posed by legal and economic factors. The chapter also introduces advanced early warning systems like the Antecedent Precipitation Model (AP model) and community-based warning systems, emphasizing the importance of local knowledge and coordination. The text underscores the need for a multi-faceted approach involving knowledge, societal acceptance, and policymaker involvement to effectively manage landslide risks in Thailand.
