On October 2, 2069, Prof. Dr. Suchatvee Suwansawat, leader of the Thai Kao Mai Party, met with Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt to exchange critical data and updates regarding the flood situation in the capital, specifically addressing persistent stagnant floodwaters affecting residents in the Lat Krabang and Rom Klao districts.
During the discussion, Dr. Suchatvee presented on-the-ground information to city executives, noting that areas surrounding Lat Krabang Hospital, the Hua Takhe community, and extending toward Luang Phaeng remain deeply concerning. Water levels in these zones remain high and strictly stagnant, which could lead to foul wastewater issues and severely impact public health if drainage is further delayed.

Additionally, the vicinity around King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, currently utilized as a temporary relief shelter, has faced disruptions from massive water volumes spreading through various minor canals. The discussion emphasized the urgent need to manage these branch canals and boost water pumping efficiency.
Close coordination between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Royal Irrigation Department is vital for the eastern side of the city, as its drainage network directly connects with areas outside municipal jurisdiction, making comprehensive engineering insights essential.
Governor Chadchart Sittipunt welcomed the dialogue, highlighting that Dr. Suchatvee's background in engineering and tunnel systems—combined with his firsthand experience as a flood victim in Lat Krabang—would provide fresh, practical perspectives for the city's mitigation efforts.
Governor Chadchart expressed his appreciation for the visit, stating that insights from engineering experts who directly experience the local challenges are invaluable for improving municipal disaster response strategies.
