One source

Leader of the Kla Tham Party, Thammanat Prompao, visited a fire-stricken community near Khlong Nang Hong to provide aid and coordinate housing support for 58 affected households.

On August 4, 2026, Captain Thammanat Prompao, leader of the Kla Tham Party, visited a community near Khlong Nang Hong in Bangkok to support 58 families displaced by a recent fire. Accompanied by the Thammanat Prompao Foundation and party officials, he distributed relief supplies and assessed the progress of housing assistance measures.

During the visit, Thammanat emphasized the importance of sustained support for grassroots communities, noting that public attention often fades shortly after a disaster, leaving victims to struggle with unresolved issues. He highlighted that many families have been forced to relocate to stay with relatives or return to their home provinces, which complicates efforts to coordinate government aid. To address this, he has tasked party officials with maintaining consistent communication and assistance for the victims while they await the construction of new housing.

For residents and visitors, this event underscores the vulnerability of informal settlements in Bangkok to fire hazards and the ongoing challenges in post-disaster recovery. While the Kla Tham Party has committed to facilitating aid, the timeline for the completion of new housing and the full restoration of the community remains to be confirmed. Thammanat stated that his involvement is focused on humanitarian relief rather than political gain.
