Rubber Authority of Thailand Approves Budget for Udon Thani Horticultural Expo Amid Storm Concerns
The Rubber Authority of Thailand (RAOT) has allocated 7.5 million baht to support the upcoming International Horticultural Expo in Udon Thani, with officials emphasizing the need for robust storm preparedness.
According to a report by Thai Post on September 3, 2026, the board of the Rubber Authority of Thailand (RAOT) has officially approved a budget of 7.5 million baht to support the International Horticultural Expo scheduled to take place in Udon Thani province.
RAOT board member Benjaphol has instructed Governor Weeris to closely monitor the progress of the event preparations. A primary focus of these instructions is the implementation of comprehensive measures to handle potential storm activity, ensuring the safety and integrity of the expo site.
For travelers and residents, this development highlights the ongoing preparations for a major regional event. While the funding secures the necessary support for the expo, the emphasis on storm preparedness suggests that local authorities are prioritizing climate-related risks during the planning phase. Visitors planning to attend the expo should monitor local weather forecasts and official announcements, as specific safety protocols or potential schedule adjustments related to weather conditions remain subject to further updates from event organizers. As of now, the exact operational details regarding how these storm mitigation measures will impact visitor access during inclement weather have not been fully detailed.
