Fortune teller Mor Plai Phraai Krasip unveiled his latest predictions on the television program "Celebrity Sitting Clear DEEP TALK" on Channel 8, discussing the nation's economic outlook and natural disasters.

Regarding economic recovery, Mor Plai stated: "We haven't reached the bottom yet. The economy is currently in decline, so you need patience and endurance. Things are already difficult, but they'll get worse. Oil prices will face tougher times. Be cautious from next month onwards. There's a turning point, but whether authorities allow it to happen is another question. Today, the respected figure mentioned we haven't reached a state of conflict yet—we're around level 50. If we reach that level, the situation could escalate to 62."

On gold prices, Mor Plai said: "For long-term investment, it's still worthwhile. Currently, prices are high and stable. It's a time where if you're brave, you win—like gambling. But eventually, gold will reach six figures. That's the truth."

Mor Plai warned of frightening disasters and epidemic-like signals starting this month, saying: "Water is coming 2-3 months earlier than normal. We need to prepare soon. There are signs of floods, mud, and dangerous conditions coming from higher elevations."

"There are also signs resembling epidemics happening in certain areas—quite frightening. The warning is to be cautious from May onwards. Heavy rains after Songkran will cause water retention issues. It depends on how quickly authorities can manage drainage, but it will take time. Some areas will suffer subsidence, and both water and mud will surge together in dark, cold torrents. This year's water and fire hazards are what everyone must watch for."

On safe locations, Mor Plai advised: "The central regions of the country are safest right now."

He also noted: "This year water and fire come together. Water should extinguish fire, but deteriorating infrastructure causes fires, which occur after floods. Thai citizens should check their home electrical systems while authorities assist. Water systems depend on rain and drainage, which isn't working well. It's like every year but more intense. With a weak economy, we lack funds for repairs. That's the most serious problem."

Mor Plai added another warning: "There's also concern about high areas and limestone issues that haven't been resolved."
