Several Malaysians have been affected by extensive flooding across Bangkok, Thailand, prompting the Malaysian Embassy to provide assistance to those impacted, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In a statement, Wisma Putra said the floods had affected multiple districts and major transportation routes in the Thai capital.
The ministry said the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok had confirmed that several Malaysian nationals were among those affected and was providing the necessary support while maintaining close communication with local authorities.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is closely monitoring the situation following extensive flooding across Bangkok,” it said, extending its sympathies to those affected by the disaster.
Malaysians residing in or visiting Bangkok have been advised to exercise caution, remain vigilant and comply with all safety instructions issued by Thai authorities.
Travellers heading to Suvarnabhumi Airport were also urged to allow additional journey time and arrive well ahead of their scheduled departures, as flooding could cause delays along airport access routes.
Wisma Putra strongly encouraged all Malaysian nationals in Bangkok who have not registered their presence to do so immediately through the e-Konsular system, which enables the ministry to maintain contact with Malaysians abroad and coordinate assistance when necessary.
