The government is going to extend bigger financial help to flood victims.
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit Tuesday revealed that the compensation amount would be Bt30,000 per house destroyed in flooding.
For a partially-damaged house, its owning family will be able to claim Bt10,000 compensation. For a flooded house that sustains substantial damage, its owning family will be able to get Bt20,000 compensation.
“But as the first step, the owner of each flooded house will get Bt5,000,” Yongyut said.
He was speaking after he emerged from a meeting with Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra.
