April marks Thai New Year, but heavy rains have recently caused severe flooding, affecting several regions in southern Thailand. The situation is now gradually improving. Eight provinces in southern Thailand — including Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani, Chumphon, Phatthalung, Trang, Phang Nga, Songkhla, and Krabi — have experienced flooding due to the downpours, with the most affected areas being low-lying regions and those near waterways. Other provinces and areas remain unaffected.

Koh Samui - Koh Phangan Islands

Due to current flooding and weather conditions, Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport will remain closed until the weather improves. Samui Airport, Phuket Airport, and Hat Yai Airport are operating normally. Boat services between Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and Surat Thani are also running as usual.

Islands Near Krabi

Due to the floods, all train services south of Chumphon have been suspended starting today. Train services in other regions continue to operate normally. Travelers planning to visit southern Thailand are advised to check the weather forecast in advance and confirm the status of transportation services.
