Authorities are on high alert for Typhoon Noru which is expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm before reaching Thailand's Northeast on Thursday.
According to Tuesday's forecast by the Meteorological Department, Noru is expected to make landfall in Vietnam on Wednesday before weakening to a tropical storm and moving across Laos and then to the Northeast of Thailand in Ubon Ratchathani and Amnat Charoen on Thursday evening.
It will then downgrade to a tropical depression covering the Northeast, the North and the Central Plains Region.
