Today 16:30Key points summarised by AI
Khao Yai National Park is indefinitely closed to visitors following the destruction of a bridge leading to the Haew Narok viewpoint.
Relentless heavy rain caused a massive surge of water over Haew Narok Waterfall, washing away the bridge and necessitating the park's closure for safety assessments and repairs.
PM orders food, toilets for Bangkok flood victims
Today 16:18Key points summarised by AI
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul cut short an overseas trip to personally inspect and oversee flood relief efforts in Bangkok, expressing deep concern for affected residents.
He promptly addressed immediate needs in the Ruam Phatthana community, ordering portable toilets, establishing a mobile kitchen, and personally funding local vendors to distribute food.
The government deployed resources, established shelters, and granted provincial governors increased authority and funding to expedite local flood response and recovery operations.
Anutin outlined long-term plans including a major drainage project, improved public warning systems, and a suspension of ministerial overseas travel until the flood situation normalizes.
