Traffic Police Division Offers Assistance for Flood-Stranded Vehicles
The Traffic Police Division has launched an emergency support service for motorists affected by flooding in Thailand.
The Thailand Government Public Relations Department has announced that the Traffic Police Division is providing emergency assistance to citizens whose vehicles have been stranded or damaged due to ongoing flooding. This initiative is designed to help motorists move their vehicles from flooded areas where water levels may pose a risk to property or traffic flow.
For residents and travellers, this service is particularly relevant if you are navigating areas prone to seasonal inundation. If your vehicle becomes stuck or requires relocation due to rising water, authorities are offering support to facilitate movement. This measure aims to reduce traffic congestion and prevent further damage to private property during the rainy season.
While this service is now active, specific operational details—such as the exact geographic coverage of the towing service and the current wait times for assistance—remain to be confirmed. It is advised to monitor official updates from the Traffic Police Division regarding the availability of these services in your specific location. Travellers are encouraged to exercise caution when driving through flooded streets and to prioritize safety by avoiding deep water whenever possible. Please check local news outlets for real-time updates on road conditions and further instructions from the authorities.
