Defer non-essential travel to Bangkok advises MFA

SINGAPORE: Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said it continues to advise Singaporeans to consider deferring non-essential travel to Bangkok and other areas affected by floods.

It said this follows a warning by the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority to Bangkok residents of the possibility of outbreaks of diarrhoea, leptospirosis, cold and flu as well as infection of wounds.

MFA advises Singaporeans in Bangkok or those planning to visit Bangkok to avoid flood-affected areas, take the necessary precautions, heed the instructions of the local authorities and closely monitor local news.

Those who have not done so, it says, should also e Register.

MFA said flood waters have begun to recede in some parts of Bangkok and Thai authorities have managed to stem the flooding in the north of Bangkok and are taking all necessary efforts to drain the water.

But it added parts of Bangkok still remain flooded.

Singaporeans who require consular assistance can contact the MFA Duty Office (24-hours) at:

  1. It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
