Kasetsart University Leaders Survey Flood Damage, Distribute Food
Kasetsart University leaders surveyed flood damage across campus and distributed over 300 meals to students and staff as water levels recede slowly from multiple faculty buildings and key areas.
Kasetsart University leadership stands with its community. Rector Kongsakdi Thientharm, along with Vice Rector Kanesh Kachsuwan, Vice Rector Paramesh Kamhaengruddhi, and Praplen Kaemohuas, director of the physical and sustainable environment division, surveyed flood damage across campus to assess harm and develop immediate recovery measures once water levels drop.
Flood levels have fallen since the previous day but are receding slowly because water continues to flow in from the Phaholyothin intersection and drain toward the Vibhavadi Rangsit side. Areas still experiencing high water levels include Suwan Road, the Science Faculty building, the library, the Education Faculty, the demonstration school, central pathways near the Economics and Engineering faculties, the Humanities Faculty, and the Social Sciences Faculty. Water remains particularly high near the 50-Year Communications Building and especially the Architecture Faculty, while the route from the Phaholyothin gate to the Three Kings Monument monument remains severely flooded.
Water has receded at several points around campus, but the Phaholyothin side continues feeding water into university grounds. The administration urges cautious travel and avoidance of heavily flooded areas.
The leadership team visited the central cafeteria and 7-Eleven convenience store, then distributed over 300 meals and milk packs to students and staff caring for areas across the Economics, Education, Humanities, Architecture, and Social Sciences faculties, the library, Engineering, Science, the Agricultural and Agro-Industrial Research Institute, the Computer Services Office, the Veterinary Faculty, the Fisheries Faculty, the Food Product Research Institute, the Veterinary Technical Faculty, the hospital, the Agricultural Industry Faculty, and the Business Administration Faculty to boost morale.
The rector thanked all deans, office directors, administrators, and staff for their solidarity in supporting students, personnel, and the public during this crisis, and expressed hope that water levels will gradually normalize.
