SONGKHLA, Thailand – Labour Minister Treenuch Thienthong has led a team of senior officials to Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, to provide assistance to residents affected by recent flooding and to inspect ongoing recovery operations.
The Minister was accompanied by Permanent Secretary for Labour Wannapong Kotcharak, Deputy Permanent Secretary Santi Nantasuwan, and senior executives from the Ministry of Labour, as well as heads of provincial labour agencies.
The delegation distributed 100 relief kits at a temporary shelter at the Faculty of Science and Technology Building, Songkhla Rajabhat University, before travelling to the Wat Sri Sawang Wong (Wat Koh Suea) community in Hat Yai, where an additional 200 kits were delivered. The Minister also met with affected families to offer encouragement and assess immediate needs.
