Flood Relief Payments Distributed to 15 Provinces and Bangkok
The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation has initiated flood relief transfers to over 57,000 households across 16 areas.
On October 28, 2026, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) announced that the Government Savings Bank has begun transferring 2026 flood relief funds to affected residents. According to DDPM Director-General Nirat Pongsittithavorn, the disbursement covers 57,431 households, totaling 393.86 million baht.
The relief payments are being distributed to 15 provinces and Bangkok, specifically: Samut Prakan, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, Chon Buri, Chanthaburi, Chachoengsao, Prachin Buri, Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Ratchasima, Chiang Rai, Kamphaeng Phet, Ratchaburi, Kanchanaburi, Suphan Buri, Samut Songkhram, and the Bangkok Metropolitan area.
For residents and long-term visitors in these regions, this development marks a significant step in the government's recovery efforts following recent flooding. While the funds are currently being processed, those who believe they are eligible should monitor official government channels to verify their status, as the DDPM relies on provincial and local certifications to authorize payments. It remains to be confirmed how quickly subsequent rounds of funding will be processed for other affected areas not included in this specific batch. Residents are advised to check their status through the official government portal provided by the authorities to ensure they receive the correct information regarding their specific claim.
