Thailand

Thailand’s government approved roughly $119 million in aid for flood-hit provinces, including Bangkok. The capital’s main airport is facing chaos, with hundreds of flights delayed or canceled.

After 48 hours of heavy rain, Bangkok declared an emergency across all 50 districts and urged residents to stay home. The Israeli Embassy warned against nonessential travel and inter-island ferries.

Israelis can still enter Thailand without a visa, but visa-free stays are cut from 60 days to 30 starting September 15, with new limits at land borders.
