But the calmer seas also provide perfect conditions for Rohingya people fleeing Myanmar to set sail from troubled Rakhine state. Although there are no signs of boat people from Myanmar yet, Vice Adm Surapol said the navy will not lower its guard. "We are following the fighting, the situation in Rakhine state, as it could lead to migration," he said.
