Meanwhile, a 300-metre-long section of seawall on Nopparat Thara beach and parts of a seawall on Tham Phranang beach at Railay Bay in Krabi were hit by bad weather on Monday (June 16).

Tourist numbers in Krabi have reportedly shrunk by 20-30 per cent, while visitors have been warned not to swim in the sea and small boats remain moored onshore.
