The Prime Minister rode a boat through a flooded community in Nan Province. Villagers cried with joy that the Pheu Thai team did not abandon the victims. The Prime Minister emphasized that when he is able to perform his duties in full, there will be measures to take care of the affected people. Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister and leader of the Pheu Thai Party, traveled to the Ban Phumin-Tha Li community and boarded a boat with Mr. Surawong Thienthong, Secretary-General of the party and MP for Nan from the Pheu Thai Party to deliver food and relief bags to people in the flooded area, to the point that the Provincial Electricity Authority had to cut off the electricity. The villagers were happy to see Ms. Paethongtarn and thanked her for visiting the area. They also said that they were glad to see Ms. Paethongtarn come in person and asked her to come often so that the people would be encouraged. Some asked to take selfies with Ms. Paethongtarn while Ms. Paethongtarn greeted her and asked about her well-being, smiled, and told the people to be patient and give her encouragement. After visiting the area, the Prime Minister, as the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, gave an interview that from what he saw, the water level was still high and the villagers were still suffering without electricity. As the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, he gave encouragement and the party's MPs would provide food and water. Even though the villagers were suffering, they still smiled, were happy and waved. It was like we received encouragement from the villagers in return. As for the villagers wanting us to visit the area often, we also want to come. And when we have fully performed our duties, we will come immediately. Today, we came as the party leader, together with the party's MPs, to help look after their living conditions, including food and drink. From what we have seen, the villagers' living conditions are pitiful. But the villagers did not ask for anything special. Some villagers even cried. They were happy to see us. We could only help encourage each other. He confirmed that if he officially performs his duties, he will quickly help. There will be various measures to the fullest. However, there are still many areas in the North, including the South where Phuket Province still has problems. Ms. Paethongtarn responded to questions about not going to Phrae Province due to travel problems in the disaster area, saying that there were problems with the airport and weather. In fact, she really wanted to go, so she asked the local MPs to take care of her. Before traveling, she checked, but she did not think that the weather would change. When asked if she was worried about the water situation, which may be more than in other years, Ms. Paethongtarn said that in many areas, things are starting to improve. Water levels are starting to recede. In Nan Province, there have been reports that the water situation is starting to improve. But of course, encouragement is still important. It is not too late to give encouragement. In the centr al region, there is now sufficient preparation to deal with the water situation. There will be close monitoring from MPs again. - Source: Thai News Agency
