The UAE Has Issued A Warning To Those Traveling To One More Southeast Asian Country
The UAE Embassy in Thailand has issued a warning to Emiratis in Phuket after local authorities announced a storm alert.
Strong wind and waves are expected in the Andaman Sea
“The UAE Embassy in Bangkok warned its citizens in Phuket to avoid the sea from August 9 to 15, and to follow instructions from Thai authorities,” said the embassy.

It should be noted that the tourist boat Phoenix that sank last month in bad weather killing 47 passengers WASN’T a small boat and wouldn’t have been affected by this ban on boats leaving port in Phuket. If it’s stormy weather, my advice is NOT to go on a boat trip #Thailand pic.twitter.com/TejjQ5XkNZ

Grey and windy morning. Don’t swim at the beach. Boat trips cancelled this morning due to big waves. #Phuket #weather
