Cabinet approves triple payouts for people hit by flooding

Prayut also said the government was considering additional aid for people who sacrificed their farmland to retain floodwater, on top of existing compensation for inundated farms, at up to 15 rai per case.
He said the government would soon arrange for farmers in water-retention areas to follow a “farming calendar” to ensure they grow crops in alternate turns with their downstream peers.
Prayut said farmers would be taught about water systems, crop growing, harvesting and use of technology, as well as rice marketing.
