Thailand Continues Flood Relief Payments to Over 1.16 Million Households
The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has expanded flood relief payments to 54 provinces, with over 8.9 billion baht distributed to date.
On October 25, 2026, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) announced the latest progress in its flood relief compensation program. Director-General Nirat Pongsithavorn confirmed that the department is continuously processing and transferring funds to households verified by provincial authorities and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
As of the latest update, the government has successfully transferred relief payments to more than 1.16 million households across 54 provinces, totaling approximately 8.953 billion baht. The most recent disbursement includes an additional 2,006 households across two newly processed provinces. The DDPM continues to coordinate with the Government Savings Bank to ensure that verified recipients receive their financial assistance.
For residents and travelers, this ongoing relief effort highlights the scale of the recent flooding events across Thailand. While the financial aid is targeted at affected households, the recovery process remains active in many regions. It is important to note that the list of eligible provinces and the status of individual claims are managed locally; therefore, those seeking information regarding specific compensation eligibility or the status of their application should consult their local district office or official provincial announcements. The government has not yet provided a definitive timeline for the completion of all payments, as the verification process for remaining claims is still underway.
