Bad weather prevents PM from visiting flooded Phrae

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra apologised today to people suffering from the severe flooding in Phrae province, explaining that she is unable to travel there as planned due to the weather conditions.

Writing on her Facebook page, she said will only be able to visit Nan province today. “Because of the weather conditions in Phrae, I cannot go there as scheduled. I therefore apologise to everyone,” she wrote.

She mentioned that she will stay updated on the situation and has already assigned Pheu Thai MPs to manage it.

In Nan, she plans to visit Muang and Pupiang districts. People in the northern provinces of Thailand, especially Chiang Rai, Phrae and Payao, have been having to deal with unusual flooding, landslides and evacuations for weeks.
