BANGKOK, 13 April 2018, (NNT) - The Ministry of Public Health has warned residents of heatstroke, urging them to refrain from drinking alcohol during the day in summer.

He explained that high daytime temperatures during this time of the year will raise body temperatures. The condition is further exacerbated by intoxication, causing some people to suffer heatstroke. Heatstroke can lead to a coma or even death.
