Strong wind blew over a phone case rack as Typhoon Doksuri moves towards Thailand.

The powerful gust toppled the display rack, spilling dozens of phone cases across the pavement in front of a shop in Yala province close to Malaysia on July 26.

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has warned residents in 46 provinces to prepare for the typhoon as it approaches Thailand.

Though the storm will spare the country a direct hit, it was expected to intensify the prevailing monsoon, spawning heavy rains and potential floods until August 1.

Doksuri battered the Philippines with gale-force winds and heavy rain, killing at least six, the country's national disaster agency said.

Forecasters said Doksuri is on its way out of the Philippine monitoring zone and is expected to track northwest towards Taiwan and China, with landfall possible in eastern Guangdong or the Fujian on the Chinese mainland.
