Minister of Tourism and Former Police Official Provide Aid to Flood-Affected Patients in Ayutthaya
Surasak, Minister of Tourism and Sports, joined a former Deputy Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police to deliver supplies to bedridden patients in flood-hit areas of Ayutthaya.
On October 5, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Surasak, the Minister of Tourism and Sports, collaborated with a former Deputy Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police to lead a relief mission in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. The delegation focused on providing essential supplies and support to bedridden patients residing in areas currently impacted by flooding.
For residents and travelers in the region, this initiative highlights the ongoing challenges posed by seasonal flooding in Ayutthaya, a province known for its historical sites and riverine geography. While the government is actively coordinating relief efforts for vulnerable populations, those planning to visit the area should remain aware that flood conditions can affect local infrastructure and accessibility to certain historical zones.
It remains to be confirmed how long these flood-related disruptions will persist and whether further areas in the central region will require similar emergency support. Travelers are advised to monitor local news outlets and official government announcements regarding travel safety and road conditions before planning trips to flood-prone districts. The authorities continue to assess the situation to ensure that medical and essential supplies reach those most in need during this period of environmental instability.
