Pattaya flood victims receive support

Recently Mr. Raywat
Phonluken, Vice President of the Chonburi PAO, Mr. Prakorn Sukonchart, Pattaya
City Manager and Council members joined with the city welfare division and led
authorities in delivering   survival bags
to the communities at Wat Damsamakkii and Pattaya areas which revently suffered
flood problems .

 In his speech, 
Mr. Raywat stated that the storm which 
swept through the country in early October resulted in several areas
experiencing flood problems. The Chonburi 
PAO, together with Mr. Ittipol Khhunpluem, Pattaya Mayor, were quick to
request the authorities and all parties concerned  to resolve the problems and listen to the
complaints from the flood victims. With 
the distribution of the survival bags to the communities  at Wat Damsamakkii and Pattaya,  it is hoped that this will go some way
towards giving encouragement to those who have been affected.

 Mr. Prakorn
Sukonchart also stated that Pattaya city has an existing  policy to prevent flood problems particularly
through the "Kaem Ling" ("Monkey Cheek") project. To alleviate flooding from
heavy  rainfall, the authorities have
installed water pumps to hasten drainage and give around-the-clock assistance
to the general public.
