Call for Government Action to Address Chronic Drought in Tak Province

According to a report by Thai Post on September 17, 2026, Boonravee is preparing a formal request to the Prime Minister of Thailand seeking urgent intervention for residents in four sub-districts of Tak Province. The petition aims to address a persistent drought that has plagued the region for over a decade.

The proposed solution involves diverting water from the Ping River into the affected areas to establish a reliable irrigation system. The objective is to secure a consistent supply of water for domestic consumption and agricultural activities, which have been severely hampered by the recurring dry conditions.

For residents and those considering travel to rural areas of Tak, this situation highlights ongoing infrastructure challenges in northern Thailand. While the region is known for its natural beauty, water scarcity remains a significant concern for local livelihoods and agricultural stability.

It remains to be confirmed how the government will respond to this specific request and whether a feasibility study for the proposed water diversion project will be initiated. As of now, the petition has yet to be formally submitted, and no official timeline for potential infrastructure development has been established.
