What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Democrat Party, alongside residents of Khlong Chan Flats, filed an Administrative Court lawsuit against the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) over its handling of recent flooding and slow compensation payments. Party leaders cited inadequate relief payments, noting some households received nothing while others received only 5,000-9,000 baht despite extensive damage. The lawsuit alleges BMA failures, including inadequate advance water management, failure to remove drainage obstructions, and insufficient flood warnings.
