National water authority issues flash flood and landslide warning for 23 provinces

The Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) issued an urgent advisory for 23 provinces, warning of flash floods, forest runoffs, and landslides.
The alert is valid from today until Sunday, driven by heavy rainfall, a weather trough, a strong low-pressure area, and a strengthening southwestern monsoon.
Analyses confirm heightened risks of urban flooding and mudslides in headwater zones across Thailand's lower northeast, central, western, and southern regions.
ONWR has instructed agencies to prepare emergency plans, deploy response teams, and issue advance warnings for potential immediate evacuations.

Thai Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul revoked the naturalized citizenship of Yosef Chaim Kantor, a Jewish community leader, which was granted in 2013.
The revocation was primarily due to Kantor's repeated use of his American passport for international travel, violating the conditions of his Thai naturalization.
Authorities, including the Department of Special Investigation, cited potential threats to Thailand's economic and social security as a significant factor in the decision.
The ministry stated that allowing this violation to continue could cause serious public damage, as Kantor was fully aware of the conditions for maintaining his Thai citizenship.
