Racha Thewa Tambon Administrative Organization (TAO), in Bangkok’s neighbouring province of Samut Prakan, is facing widespread criticism over its handling of compensation paid to households around the Ming Dih chemical factory, which caught fire on July 5th this year.

 

According to the a popular Facebook page post on Thursday, the Racha Thewa TAO released the names of people who were affected by the chemical fire and who are eligible for compensation, with most of the victims receiving a few hundred baht, with the highest amount (49,500 baht) allegedly paid to a victim who shares the same surname as the Racha Thewa mayor. The lowest compensation payment was only 40 baht.

 

The writer of the Facebook post said that many victims have questioned the criteria used by the TAO in assessing how much compensation each victim is eligible to receive, adding, however, that victims who are living in another sub-district, under the Bang Phli TAO, received more compensation, with several of them getting about 49,500 baht.
