Petchaburi – The Royal Thai Army has joined efforts to provide assistance to those impacted by flooding in Petchaburi province while the government has prepared rehabilitation measures for affected citizens and resorts.
Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives, Lak Wajananawat, has inspected the situation, visiting Petchaburi Dam and the D9 canal and noted that the water level in Kaeng Krachan reservoir is falling and that efforts are being made to minimize flooding in economically important areas. He believes the situation will return to normal in three to four days if there is no more rain.
