- An alert for landslides and forest runoff has been issued for five southern Thai provinces: Phang Nga, Ranong, Krabi, Phuket, and Satun.
- The warning is in effect from May 26 to 28.
- The alert was triggered by continuous heavy rain, with rainfall exceeding 100 millimetres over a 24-hour period.
The Department of Mineral Resources under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has urged its geohazard monitoring and warning network volunteers, as well as the public in Phang Nga, Ranong, Krabi, Phuket and Satun, to remain on alert.
They have been urged to watch for landslides and forest runoff from May 26 to 28, as continuous heavy rain has brought more than 100 millimetres of rainfall over 24 hours.
