The rather strong northeasterly winds prevail across the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea with more rain and isolated heavy rains in the South. The rather strong wind forces the waves 2-3 meters high in the lower Gulf and more than 3 meters high in thundershowers. All ships proceed with caution, and small boats in the lower Gulf keep ashore.
The advisory is in effect on 17 February 2023, at 5.00 a.m.
