The Flood, Storm, and Landslide Disaster Relief Operations Center, operating under Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, has been lauded by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra for effectively managing flood relief efforts in northern Thailand. These efforts, encompassing Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, focus on quickly restoring normalcy—clearing roads, restoring utilities, and addressing residents' psychological needs.

 

Deputy Interior Minister Teerarat Samretwanich and Deputy Defense Minister Gen. Natthaphon Narkphanit lead recovery operations, prioritising the swift return of displaced residents. Though most areas are progressing well, Mae Sai district still requires additional work to clear mud from systems and homes. Full recovery in these areas is anticipated by month's end.

To support recovery, the government has upped compensation, offering 9,000 baht per household, and an extra 10,000 baht for mud cleanup necessities. Over 200,000 households have sought compensation, with verified payouts reaching 86.8 million baht to date.

 

As recovery concludes, economic revitalisation is next on the agenda. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is poised to launch the “Half-and-Half Northern Tourism” project to boost regional tourism. Preparations in Chiang Mai for the tourist season are underway, while Lamphun harnesses water pumps to expedite floodwater reduction, reported The Pattaya News.
