CP Volunteers and Navy SEALs Aid Flood-Hit Chonburi Communities
CP Group and its volunteers, together with Royal Thai Navy SEALs, delivered relief packs to flood‑affected communities in Phan Thong district, Chonburi on October 3, 2026. The aid, consisting of rice, dried food and water, reached residents still living with ankle‑deep water after weeks of inundation. Officials said water levels are receding but some areas remain flooded, and they hope normal life will return soon.
On October 3, 2026, despite improving flood conditions in Phan Thong district, Chonburi, many localities remain water‑logged, impacting residents. CP Group and its affiliates mobilized CP Volunteer units alongside the Royal Thai Navy SEALs to distribute “Care Bags, Threading Good Deeds” to affected households, offering relief and encouragement. Executives Khachorn Jiaravanont and Santiphong Jiaravanont Ross, together with CP Volunteer teams and Rear Admiral Suriyan Sanranjai of the Naval Special Warfare Command, visited Catholic Church and Wat Hua Phai communities in Khok Khi Nong sub‑district, where water still reaches ankle height and some residents have endured flooding since September 24 after prolonged rainfall left homes submerged and daily life difficult. The volunteers and SEALs then moved on to Silakan Village, Moo 9, Phan Thong sub‑district, another inundated area, to deliver the relief packages directly to residents’ homes and speak with affected families. Each bag contains rice, dried food and drinking water to ease the burden, especially for households with children and elderly members. Although water levels have receded enough for some people to leave their homes to collect aid, many hope the floods will subside completely so normal life can resume. Khachorn Jiaravanont said CP had gathered volunteers from various business units to bring essential items such as rice, fish sauce, milk and other supplies to those suffering from heavy rains across multiple areas, adding that while rain has stopped, water continues to flow through the area, keeping some parts flooded. He thanked the CP Volunteer teams and the SEALs for standing with the community in this difficult time. Phan Thong district chief Kanyakorn Kulpanrat said the water situation is gradually improving and receding in many places, as the district serves as a drainage point for water from Ban Bueng, Phanom Nikom and the Rachchathorot reservoir, allowing small vehicles to pass in some areas, though certain spots remain deeply flooded and residents still need help, with local authorities continuously distributing three meals a day to households unable to leave their homes.
