The Hat Yai Municipality is closely monitoring the situation as run-offs from Sadao and Khao Kaew mountains are causing its waterways to rise. In Surat Thani province, where it has been raining continuously, officials have put up red flags in beaches, including those on Koh Samui and Koh Pha-ngan, to warn tourists to stay clear of the 2m-high waves. The situation in Chaiya district, which was worst hit, is improving.
