BANGKOK, Oct 7 - Thailand’s eastern province of Sa Kaeo will start to be impacted by tropical storm Gaemi forecast to downgrade to depression Sunday night.

It is expected to cause torrential rain with heavy to very heavy rain in many areas in the Northeast, the East, the central region, the west and the upper South from Sunday to Tuesday.

Bangkok city hall is closely monitoring the storm even though the capital may not be directly impacted.

Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra said after the meeting with agencies concerned and inspection on flood prevention measures at several locations that the storm is likely to move southward and may not have direct impact on the capital.

However, it will see more rain in the next two days with very heavy rain in some areas. A new storm is developing in the Pacific Ocean and city hall will monitor its movement.

Meanwhile, in Phisanulok’s Nakhon Thai district, heavy rains triggered a landslide, blocking a section of a road. Officials spent one hour clearing the dirt. Highway officials and police are on stand-by around the clock as landslides continue. (MCOT online news)
