BANGKOK, 4 September 2016 (NNT) – Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha urged people to cooperate with the government in preventing flood water after heavy rains in many areas.

Gen Prayut said a flood prevention goal was not met as farmers in several areas did not want the government to release water into their farmlands. Many farmers wanted to keep their crops even after the government had promised to financially compensate for their loss later.
