The Krabi PR Office is reporting that the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) Krabi Office has issued an order that bans fishing boats, passenger boats and speed boats from leaving ports from midday today onward.

The Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, Mu Ko Lanta National Park are being closed from today until at least Saturday. Authorities believe they will probably be able to reopen the parks and allow boats to visit the islands again from Sunday.
