Opposition MP Anusorn Iamsa-ard of the Pheu Thai Party has criticised Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul for failing to manage recent flood crises, prompting public calls for his resignation. Anusorn described the situation as a “complete crisis of government trust,” with public confidence in the administration significantly declining. He added that the government’s image and approval ratings have been swept away as quickly as the floodwaters.

 

The criticism comes amid ongoing floods across southern and central Thailand, despite water levels beginning to recede in Songkhla province. Analysts note that the minority government is increasingly vulnerable and under close public scrutiny. Observers say that apologies or emotional displays from the Prime Minister are insufficient to restore faith in the government’s ability to handle flood recovery.

 

Residents in affected provinces continue to face widespread flooding and are awaiting systematic assistance. Citizens are calling for urgent government action, including standardised damage assessment, victim relief, disaster management aligned with international protocols, and the implementation of more effective early warning systems.

 

Thaitabloid reported that Anusorn warned that the opposition is considering a no-confidence debate against the minority government. He asserted that the public has already effectively expressed a lack of trust in Anutin’s leadership through widespread discourse and demonstrations across various channels. “The people have voted with their voices, showing no confidence in Anutin as Prime Minister,” he said.

 

Key Takeaways

 

• Opposition MP Anusorn claims PM Anutin’s flood response has eroded public trust.

• Citizens demand urgent, standardised disaster management and effective early warning systems.

• The minority government faces heightened scrutiny and potential no-confidence motions.

So far 160 people have died in the floods, with lots more yet to be found. Thai news is saying the king has given 100 million baht to hospitals to help the deceased.

people down they have been saying for days the government is  with aid

This time of year, there are floods all over the south, but this year with 330 mm of rain in 24 hours there were not a  lot anyone could do.

It is not only Thailand that has had floods. Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, have had it bad, global warming.

I think Pheu Thai was in for rather longer than Anutin.

Globally responses to disasters are always criticised by opposition parties sometimes justified and sometimes not. Doesn't matter what political points PTP are trying to get from this they're finished.

And if I wanted help and advice in my area for the unprecedented floods I would not expect it to come from a Prime Minister.

Local and Provincial government are the correct levels of responsibility.

They might request assistance.

Disaster response should be both local and federal.

While he is the top man and ultimately responsible, he cannot manage everything.

However the officials in charge in those areas should resign or be sacked.

No doubt this is a failure of epic proportions on the part of Anutin, neither a sufficient notice was given beforehand of the impending weather conditions, nor has the follow-up been sufficient.

 

This is what happens when you get overly rich, overly entitled people as leaders. He is a gross incompetent. And you would think that that would have been well known after 10 years as a failed co-conspirator of the incredibly destructive decade. 

Flood Management !! they do not know the meaning of the word this has being going on for years same as the air pollution  what will happen NOTHING !!!   this is typical Thai management  do nothing

Blame Global Warming....always the easy way out.  How about the fact that these storms occur every year and sometimes you get a really bad storm.  Silly humans, always looking for an excuse for their incompetency.

As I said 330 mm of rain in 24 hours, the most recorded in 300 hundred years, that is a bit more than a really bad storm, and look at the other counties that also have had a lot of rain, storms ect ,again a bit more than a really bad storm and incompetence.
