At its last meeting of fiscal 2026 (year ends 30 Sep), the cabinet may approve a long-term water plan, "Chainat-Pasak-Gulf of Thailand", worth about 165,000 million baht to drain the Chao Phraya basin faster and ease repeat flooding in Bangkok and nearby provinces. It may also allocate 2,000 million baht in emergency funds for flood victims in Bangkok and vicinity. Rice farmers may get 1,000 baht per rai (up to 10 rai, 10,000 baht per household) under the existing rule. The commerce ministry may seek 300 million baht for low-price essential goods to ease cost of living. These are proposals, not yet approved. Flood-hit firms in Bangkok and central provinces should watch for relief application rules once funds are released.
