Royal Relief Aid Distributed to Visually Impaired Flood Victims in Chachoengsao
The Friends in Need (of Pa) Volunteers Foundation has provided royal relief supplies to members of the Chachoengsao Association for the Blind following severe flooding.
On October 16, 2026, the Friends in Need (of Pa) Volunteers Foundation, under the Thai Red Cross Society, conducted a relief mission in Chachoengsao province. Led by Secretary-General Weerasak Kowsurat, the foundation distributed 50 royal relief bags along with essential supplies, including blankets, milk, drinking water, and ready-to-eat meals, to members of the Chachoengsao Association for the Blind. The donation was received by the association's president, Jutamanee Klindee.
The relief effort was prompted by heavy, sustained rainfall in the Khlong Tha Lat basin. This weather event caused water to overflow from the Khlong Si Yat reservoir, impacting several districts, including Tha Takiap, Sanam Chai Khet, Phanom Sarakham, Plaeng Yao, and Bang Khla. The latter has been identified as one of the most severely affected areas.
For residents and travelers in the region, this event highlights the ongoing impact of seasonal flooding on local infrastructure and vulnerable communities. While the immediate needs of the association members are being addressed, the extent of the damage to broader residential areas and potential disruptions to local transport routes in the affected districts remain to be fully assessed by provincial authorities. Those planning to travel through Chachoengsao are advised to monitor local weather reports and provincial flood warnings, as water levels in the Khlong Tha Lat basin may continue to fluctuate.
