Thailand warns of heavy rain, flooding risk from 18–25 Oct
The Meteorological Department has warned of heavy to very heavy rain in several parts of the country from 18 to 25 October, raising the risk of flash floods, forest runoff and landslides.
The South and East will face persistent rain from 18–20 October. From 21–25 October, rainfall is expected to increase across the lower Northeast, Central region, Bangkok and surrounding provinces, the East and the upper South. Some areas may also experience strong wind gusts.
Provinces facing very heavy rain include Chon Buri, Rayong and Chanthaburi on 21–22 October; Phang Nga, Phuket and Krabi on Oct 24; and Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Ranong, Phang Nga and Phuket on 25 October. Other provinces across the South, Central region and East are also forecast to face heavy rain during the period.
Waves in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand may exceed 3 metres in thunderstorm areas. Residents, particularly those in low-lying areas and near waterways or hillsides, are urged to prepare for possible flooding and landslides. Mariners should avoid areas experiencing thunderstorms and monitor official weather updates. (File photo.)

Even if you’re only in the UK for three weeks each year for tennis, you’ve seen more than your fair share of British PMs quitting.
Four of the last six—and the last four men—all called it quits during Wimbledon.

The regional conflict is likely to continue and could escalate. If you wish to leave the Middle East, do not wait until it is too late. If you can secure a flight and it’s safe to travel to the airport, leave now while commercial flights are available.

⚫️ Many Thais will likely wear black, grey, white or other subdued colours for at least the next 30-90 days. Many expats will also choose to dress this way out of respect for their Thai friends and colleagues, though in most cases it’s not compulsory — it’s entirely a personal choice.
Tourists are definitely NOT expected to wear black. However, if you don’t have muted colored clothing, wearing a small black ribbon on your shirt is a simple way to show respect. These should be widely available for sale. You may even be able to pick up free ones at the airport.
Entertainment venues remain open as usual, and all tourist attractions continue to operate normally apart from the Grand Palace. Most events will still go ahead, though some may cancel certain elements over the next 30 days. Loy Krathong festivities in November are not cancelled but it will be more of a traditional event with no fireworks, concerts or beauty shows.
I’ll post updates here as I receive them. You can also follow me on my ‘Richard Barrow in Thailand’ Facebook page.

The Bureau of the Royal Household has announced the temporary closure of the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha from 26 October to 8 November 2025.
The closure is due to royal ceremonies being held in honor of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother, as part of the royal merit-making and funeral rites.

We stand with Jess, and all #Lionesses players past and present who have suffered racism.
A message from the squad:
ALT Red graphic with the following text: We stand with Jess and all Lionesses players past and present who have suffered racism. No one should have to endure such vile abuse, be that in football or any walk of life. Representing our country is the greatest honour. It is not right that while we are doing that some of us are treated differently simply because of the colour of our skin. Until now, we have chosen to take the knee before matches. It is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism. We have agreed as a squad to remain standing before kick-off on Tuesday. We hope the game can come together to see what more can be done. For now, we will return our total focus to an important semi-final. In the meantime, we know the FA are working with UK police and the appropriate bodies. Those behind this online poison must be held accountable.

Our new Power Of One campaign for Glastonbury 2025 aims to harness this hope by highlighting the amplified impact of a few easy personal choices and their potential to bring about a better tomorrow. Small actions taken by one can – when echoed by others – can have an exponential effect powerful enough to drive societal change. All it takes is just one step in the right direction.
