Thai Gulf on monsoon alert
Thailand’s Meteorological Department issued a storm warning for the Gulf of Thailand today after a monsoon was reported to be approaching the region.
The northeasterly monsoon is sure to whip up the seas in the Gulf of Thailand and tourists have been advised not to swim in the sea.
Those visiting Cape Samila were apparently especially at risk where strong winds and high waves have been forecast.
Beach patrol officials in the region were put on high alert in the areas where the monsoon is likely to cause the worst conditions.
The northeasterly monsoon is expected to be quite severe and to affect many parts of Thailand over the next couple of days.
