Deputy Interior Minister Worasit Liangprasit has directed Andaman coastal provinces to inspect high-risk locations, mobilize local authorities and disaster response agencies, and make sure contingency plans can be put into action effectively.

Speaking after the National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Command meeting in Phuket on 12 October, he also relayed directives for agencies to:
• Improve water management and drainage
• Issue public warnings faster
• Deploy personnel and emergency equipment
• Plan evacuations for vulnerable groups
• Speed up recovery and compensation in areas where conditions have improved

He was also scheduled to inspect drainage facilities in Phuket to check readiness for further heavy rain.

Heavy rainfall is forecast for southern Thailand. Travelers in the region should monitor local weather updates, follow guidance from local authorities, and check with their hotel or tour operator before heading out, especially near coastal and low-lying areas.
