Pharadon Prisananantakul warned that flood relief payments for Bangkok are lagging due to weak local administration, unlike the rapid progress seen in provinces where village heads and local organisations drive the process. He said only about 600,000 of the estimated 2.3 million affected households have received aid, with the rest to be funded from the 2070 central budget, and questioned whether Bangkok MPs and city councillors should be deployed to accelerate verification. The minister affirmed that the government has sufficient funds and that pre‑October flood damage is covered by the state while post‑October damage falls to insurance companies.
