CHIANGRAI TIMES – Travelers will face rainy days in Thailand according to the latest national weather advisory that warns of scattered heavy rain throughout the country over the next three days. The national warning center said a high pressure front from China is now covering the upper part of Thailand’s northeastern region, while the southwest monsoon remains active in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand causing heavy storms, strong winds and even hail stone showers in the far north.

Travellers are warned they will face rainy days across the country at least until the weekend.

It poses no real danger for visitors but tour company bus drivers need to be cautious when driving across mountain ranges in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai province.

The department said a ridge of high pressure remains over the upper northeast of Thailand and a moderate southwest monsoon prevails over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
