PHUKET: -- Heavy rain that fell across Phuket this morning is expected to continue for at least the next few days, possibly up to a week, the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) warned today (Sept 21), as lifeguards at beaches along the west coast are closing areas dangerous to swim.

 

Thunderstorms are expected to intensify across Southern Thailand, including Phuket and the Andaman Coast, in the coming days, bringing heavy rainfall to the region, the TMD noted in its warning issued at 6am.

 

Heavy rain is forecast for today through to Sept 26, said the advisory issued, today TMD Director-General Wanchai Sakudomchai.

A rare occasion where luck was with me.

Been there until the 14th.

Was not too bad.
