The PM told cabinet to speed up flood relief across the country. Transport ministry will help lift submerged vehicles, and the education ministry will help with flood-damaged vehicle repairs, with simpler claim procedures. Cabinet moves to Wed 14 Oct because of the IMF-World Bank meetings (12-18 Oct), which bring a Bangkok public holiday. If your business is in a flood area, check whether vehicle or repair support applies to your fleet, and expect slower government approvals next week.
