Deputy Minister Akkhananth Kanthakitnan has established five central kitchens in Mueang Kanchanaburi to address the severe flooding, aiming to deliver fresh meals and drinking water to affected residents. He said the kitchens can distribute food as soon as it is ready, without needing to wait for his presence, a minister, or any ceremonial procedures. On September 30, 2026, Akkhananth, the Deputy Education Minister and MP for Kanchanaburi’s District 1 from the Pheu Thai Party, toured the flooded area to monitor conditions and oversee relief efforts. The five kitchen sites are positioned across the district to broaden coverage and reduce travel difficulties for residents. Operations focus on preparing hot meals and safe drinking water, then distributing them directly to communities in need. Akkhananth emphasized that assistance must be swift, prioritizing children, the elderly, and those with limited mobility, and that aid should not be held up waiting for officials or formalities. In addition to setting up the kitchens, he continues to visit affected areas to monitor living conditions and assess needs on a day‑to‑day basis until the situation improves.
