Bangkok Governor Addresses Flooding Concerns in Min Buri

Matichon Online One source

Governor Chadchart Sittipunt is accelerating water drainage efforts in the Bueng Khwang area following reports of overlooked residential flooding.

On October 10, 2026, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt visited the Min Buri district to oversee flood mitigation efforts. During the visit, he addressed concerns regarding specific residential properties that had not received assistance.

According to Matichon Online, the Governor acknowledged that some detached houses were excluded from official relief efforts because they were located outside of registered community lists. Chadchart emphasized that this was an oversight rather than a policy decision, stating that his administration acts immediately on every case brought to their attention once they are made aware of the situation.

For residents and visitors in the Min Buri area, this development highlights the ongoing efforts by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to manage seasonal water levels. While drainage operations are being accelerated, those living in non-registered residential zones may experience delays in receiving direct municipal support.

It remains to be confirmed how many additional households outside of official community lists may still be affected by the current flooding. Residents are encouraged to report localized flooding issues directly to district offices to ensure they are included in the BMA’s response efforts. The situation continues to evolve as drainage systems work to clear the excess water from the affected neighborhoods.
