Bhumjaithai MPs Address Ayutthaya Flooding Concerns
Six Bhumjaithai Party MPs from Ayutthaya are pushing for immediate and long-term flood mitigation measures, with plans to question the Prime Minister in Parliament.
On September 23, 2026, six Bhumjaithai Party Members of Parliament representing Ayutthaya, including Padit Sangkhajai and Deputy Secretary-General Pimpruda Tanjrarak, announced their ongoing efforts to address the severe flooding affecting the province. According to a report by Thai Post, the representatives emphasized that they are actively monitoring the situation and are committed to alleviating the hardships faced by local residents.
The MPs stated they are advocating for a dual-track approach to flood management, focusing on both immediate relief efforts and sustainable long-term infrastructure solutions. As part of their legislative oversight, the group has prepared a formal inquiry to be presented to the Prime Minister during the parliamentary session scheduled for tomorrow.
For residents and travelers in the Ayutthaya region, this development highlights the ongoing political focus on flood management in the area. While the MPs have pledged to prioritize these concerns, the specific details of the proposed long-term measures and the government's official response remain to be confirmed. Those currently in or planning to visit Ayutthaya should monitor local news and official government announcements regarding flood-affected zones and potential travel disruptions, as the situation remains fluid depending on water levels and management strategies.
