UK issues new travel warning as floods continue to hit troubled Thailand

The last six months have been a difficult time for the Far Eastern nation, with excessive monsoon rains leaving many areas under water – and new downpours in the southern regions have led to the FCO publishing a new travel warning.

‘Heavy rainfall has caused landslides and flooding in some districts of the far southern provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani, Songkhla, Phattalung, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Chumphon, Trang and Krabi,’ the warning advises.

‘If you are in a flood affected area you should exercise caution and follow the advice of the local authorities.’
