Forestry officials make rafts for Bangkokians

Phitsanulok - Forestry officials from Protected Areas Regional Office 11 are assembling 1,000 rafts to donate to flood victims in Bangkok.

 

Some areas of the capital are under one to two metres of water but rubber boats, which are in high demand, are all sold out.
The Forestry Department has assigned its officials nationwide to make rafts.
Those from Protected Areas Regional Office 11 are two metres square and can carry up to 200 kilograms. 
After a test run on the Nan River, the rafts would be sent to Bangkok.
