Most of the cars to be scrapped are mid-sized City sedans and Brio and Jazz hatchbacks.
The scrapping process at Honda’s plant in the central province of Ayutthaya is expected to take one month.
The devastating floods were the worst the country experienced in 50 years and left over 700 people dead.
Vehicles are seen after floodwaters receded at the Honda factory in Ayutthaya province on Nov. 26.
The factory has the capacity to assemble 240,000 cars a year and is the second-largest automobile factory in Thailand.
Heavy flooding brought production to a halt and aerial pictures showed hundreds of new cars submerged in muddy water.
Work stoppage has meant 60,000 vehicles were not manufactured over the past three months.
