Following public controversy over the government's flood warnings and the Meteorological Department's failure to alert citizens to prepare, despite the Facebook page T' Lom Faa Akat issuing flood warnings from continuous heavy rain days in advance.
At that time, Nass Jutarat the wife of the singer Chok Rodhae, acted cautiously by promptly loading all motorcycles onto a car carrier, along with seven cars, and moving them to Korat. She wrote, “I'm not panicking, but tomorrow I'm returning to Thailand. All motorcycles are on the car carrier, and seven cars moved to Korat to avoid being caught off guard. Even if I pay a lot of tax, don't expect help from the government because if anything happens, no one but myself can help.”
She also posted, “Last time the government said they could handle it, both north and south. I saw roofs underwater. This time they tell the public not to panic, that the rain won't be constant. Besides moving the cars, I think it's wise to stockpile food.” and "Trust the government?"
“Rain and floods happen seasonally, so don’t panic... = I’m packing up.”
Most recently, after heavy rain and flooding occurred in Bangkok and surrounding areas, Nass Jutarat posted again: “The day I moved the cars, people just laughed. The government said they could handle it = so I moved the cars. The government said don’t panic, it won't rain continuously = so I stocked food. I contradict everything the government says. Sending support to everyone.”
She then posted images of flood warnings and flood scenes, sharply criticizing the government: “The government said they could handle it, boosting morale. The water passed the critical point and is now worsening. They only ordered moving belongings after flooding started. They truly maintain standards well.” She also shared a video wading through floodwaters with the comment, “That’s not true, sir. Two days and two nights of nonstop rain. Damn it.”
