Flood Relief Payments Distributed to 12 Provinces and Bangkok
The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and the Government Savings Bank have initiated flood relief payments for over 14,000 households across 13 areas.
On November 11, 2026, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) announced that relief funds for the 2026 flood season have been disbursed to affected residents. According to Nirat Pongsitthavorn, Director-General of the DDPM, the Government Savings Bank has processed payments for 14,440 households across 12 provinces—Rayong, Chanthaburi, Chachoengsao, Prachinburi, Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Nong Khai, Kamphaeng Phet, Ratchaburi, Kanchanaburi, and Suphan Buri—as well as Bangkok. The total disbursement amounts to 98,864,000 baht. The aid is categorized into two tiers: 9,000 baht for households that experienced direct flooding, covering 6,666 families, and 5,000 baht for those whose homes were surrounded by floodwaters, covering 7,774 families. For residents and travellers in these areas, this development marks a significant step in the recovery process following recent weather-related disruptions. While these payments provide financial support to those impacted, individuals should continue to monitor official government channels to verify their specific status and eligibility. Further details regarding the distribution process and potential future phases for other affected regions remain to be confirmed by the relevant authorities.
