As heavy rain and flooding continue in Bangkok, Malaysians urged to stay vigilant

BANGKOK, Sept 26 — Malaysians in Bangkok have been urged to exercise caution and remain vigilant as persistent heavy rain and flooding continue to disrupt roads and daily activities across the Thai capital, with all 50 districts declared disaster zones.

In an advisory issued Saturday, the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok urged Malaysians residing in or travelling to the city to keep abreast of the latest weather, road, and traffic conditions and plan their journeys in advance.

“Malaysians are advised to check road and flood conditions before travelling, allow additional travel time, avoid flood-affected areas, and consider alternative routes or modes of transport where necessary,” it said.

The embassy cautioned that weather and road conditions could change rapidly, particularly in flood-affected areas, and urged Malaysians to monitor local conditions and follow advisories and instructions issued by the relevant Thai authorities.
