Residents of the Kheha Rom Klao community in Lat Krabang waded through floodwaters to collect food and drinking supplies, despite water levels showing no sign of dropping, with some spots measuring 1.7 metres deep. On the evening of 29 September 2024, reporters saw large numbers of people walking through the water to gather meals and drinks for distribution to neighbours lacking water and food, a flow that continued steadily. Government and private agencies also arrived to hand out large quantities of water and aid. Floodwaters remained stagnant, still above 1.7 metres in certain areas. Later, while returning aboard a THITIKAL Ambulance boat, reporters met Ball, a 34‑year‑old from Klong 4, and seven companions who had fastened a jet ski to a covered pickup truck and were struggling to push the vehicle out of the inundated zone, where water exceeded one metre in depth. Ball explained that he needed to move the truck for repairs because he depends on it for his delivery job, which brings in 40,000–50,000 baht per month, and the vehicle had been underwater for more than three months, causing a loss of income. He said he must get the truck fixed today, and aside from the vehicle, his house is also flooded, leaving him to pay for repairs out of his own pocket.
