Foreign Office Advisory Update:

"We currently advise against all but essential travel to the islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.

British nationals on these islands should consider leaving if it is safe to do so.

Storms and heavy rainfall have caused flooding and damage along the southern coast of Thailand. Affected provinces include Krabi, Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Surat Thani (including the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao), Phattalung, Chumphon, Trang and Satun. Electricity and communications are currently disrupted across the region and there is a continued risk of mudslides and flash flooding in these areas."


DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE... Media coverage has spun it, as always...
