As Pattaya’s streets drained, Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome and city officials began the job of surveying the damage to both the city’s residents and property.
Around 1 p.m. Sept. 17, Itthiphol led a delegation of administrators, city council members and soldiers to the Soi 5 Thanwa neighborhood near Sukhumvit Soi 45.
They collected data on the damage caused and will discuss compensation to be handed out with the government, which has declared Pattaya a disaster zone.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome Pattaya visits residents in the Soi 5 Tanwa community after tropical storm Vamco battered the city.
To receive compensation, residents are required to complete the “Victims with Registered Homes/Property” document that estimates damage and includes copies of the victim’s identification, home registration, and photos of the damage.
Flood victims can contact authorities from now until Sept. 25 for information on damage claims and compensation at the Social Security Department Pattaya at 038-253-260 or 038-253-257.
