Then they gave donations to Rear Admiral Nop-pa-dol Su-pa-korn, the Commander of Air and Coastal Defense Command, to assist another 153 flood victims evacuated from the Bangkok area, who are staying at the Naval Shelter. The Governor’s group was greeted by Sattahip’s Chief District Officer, Khun Shine-Chan Iem-ja-roen, and local officials.

Also, a representative of the PTT (Gasoline Company) presented 300 basic needs packages, as well as Khun Som-wang Iem-dee, the deputy Mayor of Bang-sa-ray District, who brought goods and medicines to the evacuees.
