In a statement issued today, the consulate informed that areas in the south of the country are currently facing continuous heavy rains and flooding that are affecting the safety and movement of residents.

Accordingly, Malaysians planning to travel or visit southern Thailand are advised to postpone their trip until the weather conditions stabilize.
