Four hundreds elderly people of Bangkok's Bang Khae Home for the Aged were evacuated to Rtachaburi Tuesday due to the threat of approaching floodwaters.
Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) director Opas Phetmunee said that the home had contacted his agency for transportation to the Saiyairak Haeng Krobkrua Project’s Learning Center in Ratchaburi, hence two air-conditioned buses and one non-air-conditioned bus were sent to evacuate the elderly. The evacuation would take 2-3 days, as the elderly needed special care, he added.
