Bangkok Governor Requests 1.139 Billion Baht Budget for Flood Relief
Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has submitted a request to the Bangkok Metropolitan Council for an additional 1.139 billion baht to continue flood compensation efforts.
Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has officially requested an additional budget of 1.139 billion baht from the Bangkok Metropolitan Council to support ongoing flood relief and compensation programs. According to reports from Matichon Online, the administration has already successfully distributed compensation to 95.25% of the affected households.
Despite this progress, the governor noted that approximately 23,000 households are still awaiting their allocated financial assistance. The requested funds are intended to bridge this gap and ensure that all eligible residents receive the support promised by the city administration.
For residents and long-term visitors, this development highlights the city's ongoing efforts to manage the aftermath of recent flooding events. While the compensation process is largely underway, the need for additional funding suggests that the administrative burden of recovery remains significant. Those living in affected areas should monitor official announcements from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) regarding the timeline for the remaining disbursements. It remains to be confirmed when the Bangkok Metropolitan Council will formally approve the budget request and how quickly the subsequent payments will reach the remaining households.
