Thai meteorologists have warned of heavy rain and strong winds in the east and west coasts of the country. The bad weather will last until December 23. The cause of the bad weather was tropical storm Kai Tak, which is heading to the South China Sea. It is expected to pass through Malaysia and affect the southern provinces of Thailand. Already on Monday, December 18, the authorities of the island of Koh Samui and the province of Hua Hin installed red flags along the coast, which means a complete ban on swimming.
