Flip Flopping Prime Minister Anutin Charvirakul

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has once again flip flopped on his words and is set to head to attend the ‘Forbes Forum 2026’ event in Singapore on October 7, 2026.

Sources have confirmed that Anutin will be heading to Singapore on October 7 afternoon and may meet Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong as well.

The move to go to the event came just 3 days after he came out to say that he would cancel all his engagements outside the country until the flood situation was tackled.

The Metrological Department of Thailand has already issued new warnings of heavy rainfall around the time Anutin is set to be in Singapore and with the high tides the situation could get worse.

The flooding situation has yet to be resolved and with the inflow of water from the north continues to haunt areas around the banks of Chaophaya river from Ayutthaya down to Pathum Thani and Bangkok.

Flood War Room Set Up

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has launched a flood “war room” that will hold daily 8 a.m. briefings to streamline disaster management and improve coordination among government agencies.

Addressing water management issues, Anutin stressed that high water levels in surrounding areas are obstructing drainage, urging relevant authorities to share real-time data and coordinate reservoir releases rather than acting independently.

He asked Bangkok authorities to extend work-from-home arrangements where possible and increase transport services for residents in flooded areas.

Additional pumps have lowered water around the Khlong Chan housing complex by 30 centimeters, while officials expect flooding across more than 90% of affected areas to ease within two to three days.

The prime minister also warned that officials who fail to carry out flood-relief orders could be transferred to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Residents along the Mae Klong and Bang Pakong rivers were advised to monitor rising water and move belongings to higher ground.

Last night the Royal Irrigation Department (RID) has issued its seventh water alert for the Chao Phraya River basin as heavy upstream rainfall continues to raise river levels. Water flow at Nakhon Sawan is projected to peak at approximately 3,010 cubic meters per second on October 2, 2026, bringing total flow above the Chao Phraya Dam to 3,600–3,700 m³/s when combined with tributaries, while regional irrigation networks absorb around 550–580 m³/s.

To manage the surge, the National Water Resources Committee authorized the RID to increase discharge through the Chao Phraya Dam up to a 2,500 m³/s limit. The department initiated a gradual, step-by-step discharge increase starting the night of September 30, raising rates from 2,200 to 2,300 m³/s by early October 1 to minimize downstream flooding impacts.

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has summarized the latest flood situation across 31 provinces—including Bangkok—affecting a total of 195 districts, 1,196 sub-districts, 8,249 villages, 1,041,307 households, and 2,932,661 people. Cumulative death toll 24. Regarding Bangkok specifically, 329,000 households have been affected and four fatalities reported; water levels remain stable.

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a warning for the public to prepare for heavy rainfall from October 5–8. The rain will initially affect the Northeast and the North, with cooler weather subsequently setting in across the Northeast.

Additionally, from October 4–5, thunderstorms and gusty winds are expected in parts of Upper Thailand—starting in the North and Northeast before extending to the Central region (including Bangkok and its vicinity) and the East.

These conditions are driven by a high-pressure system (cool air mass) from China extending over the North and upper Northeast, coinciding with a weak southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea, the South, and the Gulf of Thailand.

The 1 st Army Area Command Operational Center, alongside the 1st Infantry Division (King’s Guard), Bang Kapi District Office, the Metropolitan Police Bureau (Division 4), and the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), has established an incident management system to assist flood victims at the Klong Chan Flat complex. Over 12,000 residents were trapped inside the area and facing severe transportation difficulties.

To streamline relief efforts, the complex was divided into five zones, each assigned to a designated lead agency. High-clearance trucks and boats were deployed to transport residents, distribute food and drinking water, and evacuate patients, the elderly, and those needing urgent travel into or out of the flooded site.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul addressed public scrutiny over handing out cash to Bangkok flood victims, explaining that he distributed his own money because official relief bags had run out and residents had walked a long way to meet him. Defending his actions against criticism from People’s Party MP Rakchanok Srinok, Anutin insisted the funds were “clean” and accused her of judging others by her own standards while using flood victims as political hostages.

Reflecting on his upbringing, the Prime Minister stated that his parents taught him to care for ordinary people. He added that he remains open to criticism and harsh comments, viewing them as a necessary outlet for frustrated residents to vent their grievances.

Nawat Itsaragrisil, founder of Miss Grand International, posted a pointed question after his home—located in the same housing estate as Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul—was flooded.

He stated, “I pay taxes to the government, yet this is the state of my home. I live in the same estate as ‘PM Nu’ [Anutin]; his side is completely dry, while just a short walk away, it looks like an ocean. I confirm we are in the same estate. How does this happen? Half the estate is flooded while the other half isn’t.”

Thai Airways Bag Saga to be cleared by Friday

Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has directed Thai Airways International plc (THAI) to resolve its operational crisis at Suvarnabhumi Airport, expressing confidence that an 8,000-bag backlog will be cleared by Friday, October 2, 2026.

Staff shortages left over 10,000 luggage items unprocessed between September 26 and 28. With current handling capacity at approximately 2,000 bags per day, the remaining backlog should take three to four days to process, while CEO Chai Eamsiri projects flight schedules to normalize within a week.

Additionally, Phiphat asked Thai Airways to refrain from shutting down its freight warehouse operations to avoid broader economic consequences, urging the airline to slow cargo acceptance rather than halt it entirely.

To support recovery efforts, the Transport Ministry has arranged for Airports of Thailand (AOT) to set aside temporary space for cargo consolidation and will deploy extra personnel where needed to help match handling capacity.

Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun has urged Thai Airways International to expedite the resolution of its air cargo disruption, warning that a seven-day suspension poses significant risks to perishable agricultural exports.

To mitigate potential trade damage, she instructed the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) to urgently evaluate the impact on exporters and coordinate with alternative airlines to secure substitute freight capacity for time-sensitive goods.

While the majority of Thai agricultural exports move via overland border checkpoints, trade officials have been tasked with identifying air-dependent shipments to avert logistical bottlenecks. A prolonged cargo halt threatens passenger travel, national reputation, and Thailand’s broader export ecosystem, prompting the government to press the airline for an accelerated recovery while coordinating further support with the Finance Ministry.

Japan’s Kyodo News and Reuters reported that flooding in Thailand has forced the temporary suspension of operations at four Toyota Motor plants. Due to disruptions in parts deliveries, the company has halted operations at three of its own factories, as well as at a plant operated through a joint venture with Toyota Auto Works.

Toyota stated that it is coordinating with suppliers to resume parts deliveries and restart operations as soon as possible.

The suspension of operations at all four Toyota plants in Thailand will directly impact the country’s total production capacity, potentially delaying the manufacturing of various models and affecting future vehicle deliveries.

Siam Amazing Park, widely known as “Bangkok’s Sea,” will close for six months after severe floodwaters submerged nearly its entire area for five days, inundating rides, machinery, and the artificial sea. Executive Director Wuthichai Luangamornlert noted that the disaster is significantly worse than the 2011 floods—which affected only 30% of the property—and estimated combined structural damage and lost revenue at no less than 100 million baht.

Once the floodwaters recede, the park plans to conduct extensive inspections and repairs while securing recovery funding from financial institutions. Management has set a target to restore operations and reopen to visitors ahead of the Songkran festival.

Opposition MPs criticized Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul for skipping an urgent parliamentary debate on Thailand’s flood crisis while visiting the Bhumjai Thai Party’s field kitchen.

Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, Leader of the People’s Party and Leader of the Opposition, emphasized that the primary issue is the lack of proper localized command centers tailored to specific regional challenges. Calling for a hybrid management approach that balances central decision-making with decentralized local execution, Natthaphong cited Pak Kret Municipality as a model for distributing direct cash relief instead of traditional survival bags. He urged the central government to issue guidelines so other local administrative bodies can adopt this practice with state backing.

Rating the government’s performance as a failure, Natthaphong argued that the Prime Minister needs actionable leadership rather than repetitive “lesson-learning,” as sufficient knowledge and past data already exist. Addressing the Prime Minister’s recent visit to Sai Mai district where cash was distributed to residents, Natthaphong noted that what flood victims truly require right now is direct, comprehensive, and equitable financial remedy from the state.

Piyawat Kittitanasuan, a Kla Tham Party MP for Nakhon Nayok, raised an urgent motion in Parliament regarding nationwide water management following severe flooding that affected over 30,000 households across the province from September 25–27, 2026.

Piyawat noted that key political figures, including party leader Capt. Thamanat Prompow, visited to offer support, but he strongly criticized the Royal Irrigation Department’s local water management, questioning whether the director of the Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam project had paid attention to weather forecasts.

Piyawat also targeted Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit for reshuffling officials mid-crisis, arguing that changing directors led to confusing, altered management plans that degraded operations. Stating that the Royal Irrigation Department should not be a “training ground” for inexperienced personnel, Piyawat suggested that the minister consult Capt. Thamanat—who previously oversaw the portfolio without such severe incidents—for expert advice on effective flood control.

At a Royal Society of Thailand forum, three prominent legal figures—Election Commissioner Sitthichot Intharawiset, former Constitutional Court Judge Charan Pakdeethanakul, and former senior Supreme Court Judge Vicha Mahakun—warned that alleged collusion compromised the 2024 Senate selection and threatened the nation’s system of checks and balances.

Sitthichot highlighted that investigators uncovered voting lists, financial transactions, photos, and phone records pointing to coordinated voting; however, the EC narrowly voted 4–3 against accepting this evidence from the Department of Special Investigation, with Sitthichot dissenting.

Charan argued that targeting individual candidates is insufficient to fix this systemic failure, noting that reserve candidates would simply step in. He advised petitioning the Constitutional Court via the Ombudsman to seek an annulment of the entire selection process.

Echoing these concerns, Vicha stated that organized political networks orchestrated bloc voting to predetermine outcomes. He warned that because senators appoint members of key independent bodies—including the Constitutional Court, the EC, and the NACC—a compromised Senate risks enabling institutional capture, making a swift three-month resolution vital.

Prime Minister and Bhumjai Thai leader Anutin Charnvirakul dismissed speculation that his government was planning a cabinet reshuffle or considering bringing Thammanat’s Kla Tham Party into the ruling coalition. He was not considering any political changes and stressed that the government remained fully operational. He said ministers were continuing to perform their duties amid widespread flooding.

He added that his immediate priority was managing the flood crisis and implementing long-term prevention and drainage projects, rather than reshaping the Cabinet.

Phattharaphong “Lawyer Aun” Suphaksorn said the Highway 288 project covers only 2.8 kilometers and had previously been suspended after attracting no bidders. It was later reopened, and a winning bidder has now been selected.

House budget-monitoring committee chair Rukchanok Srinok said the project raised questions about its cost, urgency and value for money. She agreed to bring the complaint before the committee. Phattharaphong said the centrally funded project was being handled by the Department of Highways and urged reporters to examine its connection to Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn.

Yesterday at the Royal Thai Police headquarters, Police General Kitrat Phanphet, Commissioner General of the Royal Thai Police, and Police General Samran Nualma, Deputy Commissioner General, inspected the honor guard during the official handover ceremony for the top police position. Pol. Gen. Samran Nualma is set to officially assume office as Thailand’s 16th Royal Thai Police Chief on October 1, 2026.

The ceremony was attended by senior police commanders, officers, and members of the Police Housewives Association, marking the smooth transition of leadership within the national police force.

Vinit Visessuvanapoom, Director-General of the Fiscal Policy Office (FPO) and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Finance, said the extension of the economic stimulus measure known as the “Thai Chuay Thai Plus” (or “60/40”) scheme for October and November 2026. Under this extension, the government will provide a subsidy of 1,000 baht.

Existing participants in the Thai Chuay Thai Plus (60/40) scheme must confirm their participation on October 1 to continue using the benefits during October and November 2026; however, this does not require a new registration process.

Meanwhile Ministry of Finance has announced the appeal results for the 2026 State Welfare Scheme, confirming that 1.75 million out of 5.01 million applicants passed the re-evaluation process. Successful candidates can begin accessing their welfare benefits on October 1, 2026. To activate their rights, new recipients must complete identity verification (e-KYC) through the Paotang application or designated state banks by specified deadlines, with roughly 400,000 individuals still pending verification as of late September.

Beneficiaries who complete e-KYC within October 2026 will receive retroactive benefits dating back to October 1, along with a Cabinet-approved 700-baht additional allowance. Those verifying after October will forfeit the 700-baht bonus and receive only regular monthly retroactive allocations. Meanwhile, individuals who failed to qualify for the main scheme can apply for the “Thai Chuey Thai Plus (60/40)” relief program by confirming their eligibility via the Paotang application between October 1 and 15, 2026.

Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul delivered a keynote speech titled “The 14th Plan: Moving Thailand Beyond Boundaries” at the National Economic and Social Development Council’s (NESDC) 2026 annual meeting. Anutin stressed that the 14th National Plan must overcome Thailand’s growth constraints, boost competitiveness, and turn national development into direct income, opportunity, and better living standards for citizens.

Citing recent severe flooding across the country as a wake-up call, he urged a departure from traditional mindsets, warning that standing still is equivalent to moving backward while other nations rapidly advance.

Anutin highlighted Thailand’s strategic opportunities amid the global restructuring of supply chains, asserting that the country must position itself as a trusted partner with clear regulations, adequate energy, skilled labor, and rapid government decision-making. Rather than competing on cheap labor or tax incentives, Thailand will focus on high-value industries driven by quality, technology, and creativity.

He emphasized that incoming foreign investments must connect with local entrepreneurs, transfer technology, and elevate Thai businesses into higher-value positions within global supply chains.

Danucha Pichayanan, Secretary-General of the NESDC, revealed that the 14th National Economic and Social Development Plan aims to drive sustained 3% economic growth for Thailand, while accelerating productivity improvements and elevating national competitiveness to the global top 20 by 2029.

Thailand’s economy remained broadly stable in August 2026, as robust domestic demand was offset by weaker manufacturing and service-sector activity. Economic growth was primarily propelled by a 25.3% year-on-year surge in exports, largely supported by the global technology and AI cycle, alongside a 31.3% increase in imports driven by crude oil and capital goods. Private investment also saw significant expansion, rising 21.8% year-on-year, supported by investments in machinery, equipment, vehicles, and aircraft.

Meanwhile, the tourism sector showed modest gains, welcoming 2.5 million foreign visitors—a 1.8% month-on-month increase led by Chinese arrivals—though total receipts rose just 0.1% due to shorter lengths of stay. The labor market held relatively steady despite a ongoing rise in unemployment benefit claims. Looking ahead, the central bank highlighted several key downside risks to the economic outlook, including geopolitical tensions, flooding, El Niño, and potential volatility in global trade and the tech-AI cycle.

At Fitch Ratings Thailand’s annual seminar on September 30, 2026, Senior Director Passant Singha highlighted that the Thai commercial banking system faces ongoing challenges with its non-performing loan (NPL) ratio expected to hover at a high 3–4% over the next 1–2 years. Driven by a slow post-pandemic economic recovery, new NPL inflows exceeding 2% annually, and limited debt restructuring capacity, Thai banks face some of the highest credit costs in the region.

Consequently, banks have lowered their risk appetite and tightened lending standards—focusing on corporate clients while reducing exposure to higher-risk SMEs and retail borrowers—leading to a subdued credit growth forecast of just 2–3% for this year. Nonetheless, Fitch emphasized that there is no systemic crisis like in 1997, as solid earnings, strong capital bases, and adequate loan loss provisions provide sufficient buffers.

In parallel, Fitch Ratings upgraded its outlook on Thailand’s ‘BBB+’ Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating from “Negative” to “Stable.” This positive shift is supported by stabilizing public debt ratios, robust domestic consumption and AI investments offsetting slower tourism recovery, and improved political stability with clear medium-term fiscal frameworks, boosting overall sovereign credibility.

Yesterday, the SET Index closed at 1,594.30 points, down 35.29 points (2.21%), with a trading value of 121,003.14 million baht, 7-month high. The index fell sharply, dropping below the 1,600-point mark once again, driven by sell-offs in large-cap stocks—particularly in the banking and telecommunications sectors. Foreign investors are expected to continue selling Thai equities as US government bond yields remain high and the prospect of further US interest rate hikes exerts pressure on emerging market equities overall. Additionally, given that the Thai stock market had previously outperformed regional peers, there is a likelihood of short-term profit-taking and a market correction.

Foreign investors recorded a net sell of 10,735 million baht, bringing total foreign selling of Thai stocks in September 2026 to 26,258 million baht—a continuation of the selling trend seen in the previous month (August). However, looking at the year-to-date figures for the first nine months (January–September) of 2026, foreign investors still hold a net buy position of 25,110 million baht.

For today’s outlook, the index is expected to see a short-term rebound. However, investors should continue to monitor external factors—specifically US employment data due for release this Friday. Support levels are projected at 1,540–1,550 points, with resistance at 1,580 points.

STECON Group (STECON) expects its total 2026 revenue to surpass its target of 35 billion THB, following a strong first-half performance of 16.787 billion baht (48% of the annual goal). Chief Executive Officer Pakpoom Srichamni attributed this growth to major transport construction projects, including the MRT Purple Line and the M6 and M81 motorways.

To maintain a robust backlog, STECON is pursuing new government megaprojects, while actively expanding into the hyperscaler data center market through construction, joint ventures, and asset development. The company is also building a foundation for recurring income by investing in water, utility, and energy infrastructure.

Looking ahead to 2027–2028, Pakpoom anticipates a steady rollout of government megaprojects, marking 2027 as the start of a new growth cycle (New S-Curve) driven by data centers, infrastructure, and energy ventures. Despite the optimistic long-term business outlook, STECON’s stock price closed down 5.58% at 18.60 Baht yesterday, falling by 1.10 Baht.

Thai Airways joined the broader sell-off, falling 5.79% to close at the day’s low of 5.70 baht on trading value of 1.04 billion baht. The decline came as the airline announced a suspension of inbound, outbound and transshipment cargo at its Suvarnabhumi Airport warehouse from October 1 to 6 because flooding-related staff shortages had delayed deliveries and created a substantial backlog. The cargo disruption followed problems involving about 5,600 bags from 52 flights on September 26–27, along with flight delays and cancellations.

A THAI director also reported selling 500,000 shares on September 28 at an average price of 6.15 baht, leaving her with no shares. She had bought the same number of shares on September 17 at an average price of 5.90 baht.

Precious Shipping Public Company Limited (PSL) has entered into shipbuilding contracts with Taizhou Sanfu Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. for four 64,500 DWT Ultramax bulk carriers, valued at an aggregate of $141.80 million (approx. 4,767.32 million baht). Scheduled for delivery between April 2030 and January 2031, these vessels align with PSL’s strategy to rejuvenate its fleet by adding younger and more fuel-efficient ships.

The newly ordered Ultramax carriers feature upgraded propulsion systems, energy-saving measures, and higher deadweight capacity to improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Once delivered, alongside two previously ordered vessels, PSL’s total operational fleet will expand to 47 vessels with a combined capacity of approximately 2.34 million DWT.

The Royal Gazette has officially announced the dissolution of the Land Bank Administration Institute, effective October 1, 2026, following a Cabinet decision on September 15 not to renew its mandate. In response, the People’s Movement for a Just Society (P-Move) called on the government to either reverse the order or create a replacement organization, proposing that the Institute’s responsibilities and budget be temporarily transferred to the Community Organizations Development Institute rather than the Office of the National Land Policy Board.

Although the government confirmed that the dissolution process is finalized and cannot be reversed, it agreed to urgently evaluate P-Move’s proposed alternative transfer. Emphasizing that the transition must not jeopardize ongoing land support for small farmers, landless individuals, and affected communities, P-Move plans to demand clear answers at an upcoming government committee meeting scheduled for October 5.

Yesterday The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) Selection Committee has issued a directive instructing Chairman Dr. Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck to cease his duties within 7 days. This order follows Ruling No. 1/2569, which unanimously disqualified Dr. Sarana for failing to meet the legal qualifications under the NBTC Act. Although Dr. Sarana challenged the ruling, the Central Administrative Court recently dismissed his lawsuit, upholding the committee’s decision as lawful and confirming that he must vacate his position. Other commissioners filed a complaint revealing that Dr. Sarana continued to perform his chairman duties, creating operational issues and delays for critical pending items.

The Selection Committee invoked the Administrative Procedure Act to enforce his departure and warned that continued non-compliance could result in administrative fines of 50,000 baht per day for the duration of the violation.

Meanwhile, on September 29, the NBTC Office released a memorandum stating that Chairman Dr. Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck will be unable to attend and preside over the board meetings on October 1–2 due to prior engagements from September 30 to October 4, however, given the substantial backlog of pending issues, he proposed that a fellow commissioner be appointed as acting chairman for this specific session so board proceedings can continue uninterrupted.

17-year-old Genius at Work

Amid ongoing flood concerns across Thailand, a new civic tech platform named Chachoengsao Floodverse (https://chachoengsao-flood.vercel.app) has been launched to serve as a central hub for real-time water data. The project is a collaborative effort between Nattharit Noonpradit (admin of the “We Love Paetriew” Facebook page and a local rescue official) and Nontapat Jitrangsan, a 17-year-old high school student from Sujipuli School. The platform enables residents to report local water levels, mark flooded areas, and upload timestamped photos. It also integrates live CCTV feeds from the Chachoengsao Municipality, allowing users to monitor road conditions and key locations directly.

The platform has gained massive public engagement, recording around 2 million interactions within just three days of its launch. Looking ahead, the development team plans to expand the app’s capabilities by adding an emergency request feature, which will connect distress signals directly to rescue teams and relevant agencies for more targeted assistance.

A viral video shows a kind-hearted man wading through floodwaters in the Kheha Rom Klao community, allowing a swarm of sewer rats to climb onto his body to escape the rising water and reach safety. Most netizens have praised the man’s compassion and gentle nature, noting his regard for the value of every life, regardless of size; however, some have expressed concerns regarding hygiene and disease—such as leptospirosis—or the risk of being bitten, given that sewer rats are known disease carriers.
