General Songwit Noonpakdee, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, attended a meeting of all relevant agencies and gave instructions at a meeting to monitor the situation together with various government agencies and the public at the Flood Monitoring Center, Mae Sai District Office, Chiang Rai Province. By expediting the resolution of infrastructure problems as quickly as possible, especially the water supply system, which was initially unusable, the Department of Army Engineers was ordered to set up a field water supply to alleviate the suffering of the people. However, initially, water support from nearby areas should be requested to resolve the urgent problem first. Regar ding security, during the floods in the past, criminals have caused problems and people were unable to leave their homes, and it has been difficult to go in and restore. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces therefore requests cooperation and support from the police and the local military court to organize a team to look after the safety of the people so that they can rest assured and leave the areas for convenience in going in to restore. The current situation is that there is still very high mud, with some areas more than 2 meters deep, so it is necessary to request support for tools from agencies, especially the military.
