Thailand has experienced inclement climes during recent days.
Tourists should avoid travelling to the Thai islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, after heavy rainfall and storms hit the destinations.
According to the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), there has been flooding and damage around Thailand's south coast, with a number of provinces affected by the climes.
British nationals who are currently on the named islands should leave if it is safe to do so.
The body highlighted provinces such as Krabi, Nakhon Sri Thammarat and Surat Thani among the affected zones, while there are a number of others that have been hit by the inclement weather.
Flash flooding and mudslides are a possibility in these areas and electricity and communications have been disrupted.
"The airport and coastal resorts in Krabi have not been affected, but there is heavy rainfall in the area," the FCO noted.
Britons currently in the country and in need of urgent assistance should call the FCO or the Thai Tourist Police.
Food and water shortages may be a problem in parts of Koh Samui, while there are floods across certain coastal areas that are known to be tourist destinations.
General travel advice for Thailand issued by the UK government suggests taking out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling to the nation.
It also advises carrying a passport at all times, as this is law in the country and tourists have previously been arrested when failing to produce the document.
The FCO explained the ferry services running between Surat Thani mainland, Koh Samui island and Koh Phangan have now resumed but could be cancelled again and there may well be delays as a result of rough seas.
