Deputy PM Thongsak Thongsri says the government does not expect a major flood and dismisses a viral disaster-warning page as unreliable. Heavy rain is forecast for 24-26 September in the North, Central and Northeast, which officials say is not severe. The government approved 15.5 billion baht for disaster insurance covering flood, storm and earthquake, effective 1 October 2026, with claims payouts targeted within 45 days. For a Thai SME: check your premises and stock are exposed to flood, watch the 24-26 Sept rain, and follow official Thai Meteorological Department and government warnings rather than social media posts.
