Severe weather alert: Thailand is fighting record rain and floods!
The current weather conditions in Thailand do not bode well. Watson reports that the country is affected by severe weather and flooding across the country. The Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) issued an alert for 40 of the 76 provinces on November 2, 2025.
The situation is particularly dramatic in the capital Bangkok and in central Thailand. Residents and travelers must prepare for heavy rain and the threat of flooding. Emergency services are already on standby in districts such as Bang Na, Lat Krabang and Ratchada. The situation is being monitored tensely here.
Heavy rain and high waves
The weather situation is caused by a strong southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. The farang describes that these persistent winds affect large areas of the country, particularly the coastal regions, where there are high waves and dangerous conditions for fishermen and boaters. On the west coast, which also includes Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga, around 70 percent of the area is currently affected by thunderstorms.
The forecasts show that almost all regions of Thailand can expect heavy rainfall in the next few days. In southern areas, authorities are warning of sudden flooding, especially near slopes and rivers. These dangers should not be underestimated, especially because the soil is already saturated from the continuous rain.
Preparation and caution
According to the forecast, weather conditions could also pose challenges for holidaymakers in popular destinations such as Pattaya and Koh Samui. The Pattaya News recommends that you keep yourself informed about the weather warnings and, if necessary, postpone any trips to sea. Heavy rains have previously caused widespread flooding in Pattaya, highlighting the need for precautionary measures.
The weather services cite another worrying fact: climate change is increasing the intensity of the monsoon and leading to more frequent extreme rainfall. It is therefore advisable to keep an eye on the drainage and drains in densely populated areas and to prepare for possible travel or travel disruptions.
Travelers and locals are urged to exercise caution, prepare for weather conditions and stay informed. Safe practices when dealing with storms and floods are needed now more than ever to avoid serious accidents and risks to life and limb.
