The first stop of the inspection took place at Wat Don Khat in Wat Bot Subdistrict, Bang Pla Ma District, where 250 relief kits were handed out to flood victims alongside encouraging words for the local community facing inundation.
Later at 2:30 PM on the same day, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul arrived alongside Industry Minister Varawut Silpa-arch, Deputy Interior Minister Jetsad Thanadisset, and Permanent Secretary for Interior Alongkot Samphaothong to inspect the drainage systems at the Song Phi Nong (Bang Sam) and Samphao Thong sluice gates in Bang Takian Subdistrict, Song Phi Nong District.
Monitoring flood conditions in the lower central basin provinces like Suphan Buri is critical because they serve as vital drainage pathways before water empties into the Gulf of Thailand. Coordinating sluice gates and deploying water pumps effectively helps protect residential areas and agricultural zones, while long-term infrastructural planning such as the Chai Nat-Pa Sak-Gulf of Thailand floodway project aims to resolve recurring flood issues sustainably.
The inspection focused heavily on evaluating drainage efficiency and the operation of Royal Irrigation Department water pumps to accelerate water removal from flooded zones, minimize flood risks, and alleviate daily hardships faced by local residents.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the Cabinet has approved the Chai Nat-Pa Sak-Gulf of Thailand floodway project, scheduled to commence in the 2027 fiscal year. Close monitoring of current conditions allows relevant agencies to assess challenges and formulate appropriate long-term solutions to ensure public safety.
