FCO warning - Flooding of Mekong River

The Mekong River is currently above flood level in several areas of Laos, including Luang Prabang and Vientiane provinces, and flood warnings have issued. There is flooding in several parts of the city of Vientiane, including the Thadeaua Road area and near Wattay International Airport. You should avoid areas near the flooding, and reconsider travelling by small river craft on the Mekong River. If you are in low-lying areas near the Mekong River, and it is safe to do, you should move inland as a precautionary measure until the current floods subside. If you are trapped in an affected area, you should remain in a safe location until the flooding subsides.
