Foreign Office travel advisories have been issued for Vietnam and Laos ahead of the arrival of Typhoon Kajiki. Amid reports of more than 586,000 people being evacuated in Vietnam, the fresh UK travel advice warned of high winds and heavy rainfall.

Coastal provinces and cities across Vietnam have shut down public beaches, suspended boat services, and halted sea tourism activities to ensure safety as Typhoon Kajiki is forecast to strike the central region Monday afternoon.

Typhoon Kajiki brought torrential rains to Vietnam's north central coast on Monday, felling trees and flooding homes, and triggering mass evacuations from coastal areas.
