About 2,000 evacuees from flood zones in central
Thailand and Bangkok are a bit worried and bored, but otherwise doing
well at temporary shelters at Sattahip’s Air and Costal Defense Command.
Navy Region 1 Commander Chumpol Wongwekhin visited
the refugees housed in hangers at the ACDC’s airstrips Oct. 31. He said
he was impressed at the effort personnel were putting in. The shelters
offer medical staff and patrol units. Severely ill evacuees are being
taken to Queen Sirikit Medical Center.
The commander noted, however, that many of the
evacuees were bored, worried and frightened. He ordered Sattahip Naval
Base officers to organize activities to keep the displaced residents
occupied and happy.
