The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has directed the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to activate emergency support operations for tourists affected by ongoing severe downpours across the country.
TAT's Contact Centre 1672 hotline is now active, coordinating emergency travel logistics, hotel accommodation, and real-time transit updates with Airports of Thailand (AOT) and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).
The Deputy Transport Minister has urged the Department of Airports (DOA) to enhance safety protocols and infrastructure readiness at regional airports, ensuring continuous monitoring of weather and flight statuses.
Travellers are advised to closely monitor weather warnings, check flight schedules in advance, and consider alternative routes due to expected heavy rainfall, potential flash floods, and waterlogging in various regions.

Saudi Arabian Airlines resumed direct flights to Thailand after 32 years, with the inaugural flight receiving a ceremonial welcome at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
This event marks a significant milestone in the restoration of good diplomatic relations between the two nations, which were suspended for three decades.
Saudia will operate three weekly flights from Riyadh to Bangkok, enhancing travel and tourism, with Thai Airways also planning to launch its own services to Saudi Arabia.
The diplomatic reconciliation follows a high-level visit by Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to Saudi Arabia in January, resolving issues stemming from the 'Blue Diamond Affair'.
