UAE Mission in Bangkok Urges Citizens to Exercise Caution Amid Heavy Rains and Flooding in Thailand

The UAE mission in Bangkok has issued a warning to Emirati citizens residing in or visiting Thailand, urging them to exercise caution due to heavy rains and potential flooding, particularly in the coastal regions of the Southeast Asian nation.

In a social media post, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) advised its citizens to remain vigilant and adhere to safety instructions issued by local authorities. The advisory comes as Thailand braces for severe weather conditions, with heavy rainfall and flooding expected to affect various parts of the country.

The MoFA emphasized the importance of staying informed about the evolving weather situation and following all guidelines provided by Thai authorities to ensure personal safety.

In the event of an emergency, the UAE citizens in Thailand have been provided with contact numbers for immediate assistance: 0097180024 and 0097180044444. Additionally, citizens are encouraged to register with the Tawajodi service, which allows the UAE government to assist its nationals abroad more effectively during emergencies.

The advisory highlights the UAE’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly those traveling or living abroad. The Tawajodi service, part of this commitment, is designed to help the UAE government stay in touch with its nationals and provide necessary support during crises.

Thailand, known for its monsoon season, often experiences significant rainfall that can lead to flooding, especially in coastal areas. The current weather forecast suggests that this year’s rainy season may bring particularly heavy rains, increasing the risk of floods and related hazards.

The UAE’s proactive approach in issuing this advisory aims to mitigate the risks associated with such natural events, ensuring that its citizens remain safe while abroad. The Ministry’s ongoing communication and support efforts underscore the importance of preparedness and staying informed during adverse weather conditions.

Emirati citizens in Thailand are advised to keep a close watch on local news and weather updates, avoid traveling to flood-prone areas, and follow any evacuation or safety orders issued by Thai authorities.
