Deputy Interior Minister Oversees Flood Relief Efforts in Nan Province

On August 20, 2026, Deputy Interior Minister Jasetsad Thaiseth conducted an inspection of flood-affected areas in Nan province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the minister visited Pua district in the morning to assess the situation and provide support to local residents before moving to Mueang Nan district in the afternoon to oversee ongoing relief operations.

While primary response teams have shifted focus to Mueang Nan and Wiang Sa districts, Jasetsad confirmed that a support team from Uthai Thani province remains stationed in Pua district. This team is tasked with preparing and distributing fresh meals to both flood victims and emergency personnel. The current relief mission includes the preparation of approximately 6,000 food sets for immediate distribution.

For residents and travelers in the region, this indicates that while some areas are receiving concentrated government support, flood conditions remain active. It is important to monitor local updates, as travel routes in Nan may be impacted by high water levels or debris. While the government is actively managing food distribution, the full extent of the infrastructure damage and the duration of the flood impact remain to be confirmed. Those in the area are advised to follow official guidance from local authorities and exercise caution when navigating affected districts.
