BANGKOK (NNT) - The water situation has been intense throughout the country. The prime minister will visit Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani provinces tomorrow to check on local response and mitigation efforts.

 

Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha attended a meeting with nationwide provincial governors and representatives from agencies responsible for handling the water situation. During the video conference, Gen. Prayut expressed his concerns for everybody who has been afflicted by floods. He asserted he was not idle about the water situation, saying the government has made preparations and will assist flood victims.

 

The prime minister emphasized that all personnel in flooded areas work synergistically. He also thanks various agencies for submitting information to the shared pool, as this will benefit water management in the future. Gen. Prayut was referring to a cold airmass that is expected to move into Thailand from China. He said information reported during the day’s meeting will enable the government to issue primary and supplementary measures to deal with the water situation.

 

Tomorrow (4 October), Gen. Prayut will visit Khon Kaen province to inspect the water situation there and check on the functionality of high-pressure water pumps. He will then travel to Ubon Ratchathani to visit a shelter for flood victims and inspect homes that have been damaged by storms and floods. During this trip, the premier will also discuss water management with relevant agencies and follow up on the rehabilitation of local businesses.

He then proceeded to show them how to walk on water!

Use the money you and your clowns are spending on this show off trip to buy food and drinking water to the people in need , 99% off this people don't give a s....t off you showing up or not , only the 1% you have paid 300baht to pretend them love you.

What is there to discuss? Every year the same and no solutions except telling every time "there will be no flooding this year".

After blaming Thaksin and Yinluck for not fixing the problem when they were in change. 

8 years in charge of the Kingdom with impunity.  Could have spent a hundred billion on flood reparations,  but no.  Bought unneeded "toys" for the Military instead.  And he's yet desperate to cling to powerful as many more years as possible.  Pathetic.

More waffle than a breakfast fest...

8 years he's done sod-all to alleviate flooding.

More interested in buying toys for his redundant commanders who have nothing else to do all day.

The PM visiting Ubon? Must be getting near election time. I trust at least one of his party is a good navigator and is able to find it.

They will discuss, and then discuss some more, and then maybe a committee will be formed, but in the end nothing will happen.
