Airforce helicopter races to airlift critical 12-year-old patient to Bangkok

Today 08:12Key points summarised by AI

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) swiftly airlifted a 12-year-old patient with severe heart failure, requiring continuous life-support (ECMO), from Chanthaburi to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Bangkok for urgent medical care.
This critical emergency medical evacuation, executed by an H225M helicopter in collaboration with the National Institute for Emergency Medicine, highlights the RTAF's vital role in supporting national emergency services and disaster relief operations.

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) increased the Chao Phraya Dam's water discharge to 2,200m3/s, issuing flood warnings for 11 downstream provinces.
Water levels are expected to rise by 20-60cm in affected areas within 24 hours, driven by continuous northern run-off and local rainfall.
Residents in low-lying areas, particularly in Chai Nat, are evacuating and moving belongings to higher ground, with some districts already experiencing inundation.
The escalated discharge aims to alleviate upstream flooding, and officials advise all riverside residents to secure valuables and monitor official announcements closely.
