Ministry of Commerce Launches 'Blue Flag' Relief Initiative in Rom Klao
The Thai Ministry of Commerce has introduced a 'Blue Flag' discount program in the Rom Klao housing area to assist residents with post-flood recovery.
On October 23, 2026, the Thai Ministry of Commerce launched a 'Thai Helping Thai' initiative at the Rom Klao housing complex. This program features a 'Blue Flag' market designed to alleviate the cost of living for residents currently recovering from recent flooding.
According to Thai Post, the initiative offers over 100 essential consumer goods at discounted prices, with some items marked down by as much as 62%. The Ministry stated that this effort is part of a broader commitment to support citizens during the recovery period. Officials estimate that the first phase of this program will reduce the financial burden on the public by at least 200 million baht.
For residents and visitors in the area, this initiative provides access to affordable daily necessities. While the program is currently active in Rom Klao, the Ministry has indicated its intention to continue monitoring and supporting the public. It remains to be confirmed how long these specific discount markets will operate at this location and whether similar relief efforts will be expanded to other flood-affected districts in Bangkok. Residents are encouraged to check local government announcements for updates on the duration and availability of these discounted goods.
