Mitihoon — Maxim Thailand recorded a 14.6% increase in the number of orders during the rainy weeks of June and July compared to the drier period of May–June. Against the backdrop of a new warning from the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) about heavy rainfall in August, the company reminds passengers and driver-partners about the safety features available in the app.
According to the TMD forecast, rainfall intensity will continue in the coming days. Prolonged precipitation is expected, creating risks of flash floods, forest runoff, and hazardous road conditions. In this regard, Maxim Thailand is placing special emphasis on travel safety.
Passengers are advised to plan their trips in advance, check the fare and estimated time of arrival, and allow extra travel time. Before boarding, it is important to verify the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate number against the information in the app.
The Maxim app offers a range of safety features for secure travel: real-time location sharing via a link, an in-app chat without the risk of fraud, and an SOS button with automatic notification of emergency contacts.
For driver partners, the platform recommends checking their vehicles regularly, particularly the tires, brakes, headlights, and windshield wipers, to ensure they are ready for use during rainy conditions. While driving, drivers should reduce their speed, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, avoid sudden lane changes, and choose routes that avoid flooded areas. The Department of Disease Control recommends driving at approximately 30–50 kilometers per hour during rainfall, keeping headlights on even during the daytime, and exercising extra caution when rain first begins.
For motorcycle driver partners, Maxim Thailand places particular emphasis on preparing for service during the rainy season. The company is providing raincoats to driver partners to ensure greater convenience and help them continue providing services appropriately in rainy conditions. Drivers are also advised to avoid flooded areas and roads that may be unsafe. Both motorcycle drivers and passengers should always wear helmets and choose brightly colored clothing that is clearly visible to help enhance safety during their journeys.
“Rain can dramatically change road conditions in a matter of minutes. Simple precautions — planning your route, verifying vehicle details, sharing trip information with loved ones, and avoiding flooded areas — can save lives. Our goal is to make every journey as safe as possible,” commented Mr. Pongpath Aksaraworakarn, Managing Director of Maxim Thailand.
