Seasonal storm affects some provinces along the Gulf of Thailand

A ridge of high pressure from the northeast has triggered seasonal storms in the Gulf of Thailand. A monsoon storm is currently causing strong winds and waves in some provinces such as Chumphon, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Prachuap Khiri Khan, and Surat Thani. The large waves have affected some beachfront villages. Small craft warnings are in effect and may cause delays for some ferry and boat services. As these conditions are caused by a storm that is passing through the area, the Thai Meteorological Department expects these conditions to only last for a few days.

Tourist attractions and destinations elsewhere in these provinces such as Cha Am, Hua Hin, and Pranburi are open, accessible, and operating normally. Air and ferry services to Ko Samui are operating as per normal. As of today (December 27), the winds and waves along the coast of Hua Hin, Cha Am, and Pranburi have weakened. Roads along the beach are all accessible and there were no reports of injuries.
