«Breaking News» Thai supermarkets run out of food as Tropical Storm Pabuk looms

Supermarkets are running out of food and necessities on some of Thailand's most popular resorts ahead of a tropical storm that has forced thousands to flee the holiday islands for the mainland. 


Some 50,000 tourists are estimated to have left Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and Koh Samui, however many have been left stranded on the islands due to cancelled flights and ferries. 


Residents and stranded tourists hit markets and shops on Thursday morning to stock up on food and petrol in preparation for Tropical Storm Pabuk, which is set to bring heavy rains, wind and 22-foot waves.

Stina Karlsson, 19, from Varberg, Sweden, who is stranded on Koh Samui wth two friends, said: 'It's pretty stressful here.


'The supermarkets have run out of food, water is in high demand and they are covering the windows with cardboard.'


Ms Karlsson told Expressen  they have stocked up on water and breakfast food, and will be spending Thursday evening charging all electronic devices as they have been told a power-cut is expected.

Pictures taken by the teenager on Koh Samui today show shopfronts being covered up and larger items being tied down to protect them from the storm. 


Other tourists have taken to Twitter to complain that they were given little-to-no warning or information from hotels and airlines about the incoming storm and that they now have no idea if they will be able to leave to catch flights home.


Bangkok Air announced on Thursday that they will be cancelling all flights tomorrow, and travellers flying in and out of the busy Phuket airport in the coming days.

Pabuk, Thailand's first tropical storm in the area outside of the monsoon season for around 30 years, is poised to batter  the islands on Friday night, before cutting into the mainland.


No official evacuation order has been given but tourists are leaving in droves.


'I think the islands are almost empty... between 30,000 to 50,000 have left since the New Year's Eve countdown parties,' Krikkrai Songthanee, Koh Phangnan district chief, told AFP. 


'There will be heavy rainfall and we have to prepared for flooding or an impact on transportation,' Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said today. 


'We are ready ourselves but if the rainfall is high we will need some time to resolve problems.' 
















Complaints: Tourists have been left stranded on the islands, and while some expressed outrage, others were happy with a few extra days in Thailand

The acting mayor of Koh Tao, one of Southeast Asia's finest diving spots, said boats to Chumphon on the mainland were crammed with tourists, but several thousand guests were still on the island likely to brave the storm.


Pabuk was packing winds of 65 mph but was unlikely to intensify into a full blown typhoon, according to forecasters.

'But we expect waves as high as five or seven metres (22ft) near the eye of the storm. Normally in the Gulf of Thailand there are only two metre high waves,' Phuwieng Prakammaintara, director general at the Thai Meteorological Department, told reporters.


'It's difficult to predict the severity of the storm so people should comply with authorities' recommendations.'


On Koh Samui, the closest of the trio of islands, a Russian man drowned on Wednesday after his family ignored warnings not to go into the sea.


'A family of three went swimming but the strong current caught a 56-year-old man who drowned,' Police Captain Boonnam Srinarat of Samui Police told AFP.


'Island officials anounced the warning and put up the red 'danger' flags... but maybe the family did not think the situation was that serious.'


Authorities on the island said they were preparing shelters for any tourists who decide to wait out the storm.


Pabuk, which means a giant catfish in Lao, is also expected to dump heavy rain across the south, including tourist hotspots in the Andaman Sea such as Krabi and the southernmost provinces bordering Malaysia of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala.


Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
