Lawyer Kaew Expresses Anger at Government Over Floods Netizens React to Under Control Claim

Lawyer Kaew Dr. Monchai Jongkrairatnakul posted on his personal Facebook expressing strong anger at the government’s claim that the floods were "under control," saying he couldn’t move belongings in time and suffered property damage. Netizens responded critically to the phrase "under control."  "Under control ="


On 26 Sep 2026 GMT+7, reporters reported that the flood situation remains concerning. Many provinces face volatile weather with heavy to very heavy rainfall, especially in the eastern region where flash floods have occurred in several areas. Bangkok and its vicinity are equally affected, with rain from midnight continuing throughout the day, causing water to back up and flood many roads, resulting in traffic congestion.


Meanwhile, Lawyer Kaew Dr. Monchai Jongkrairatnakul posted photos showing his home office filled with important client documents, now being flooded, stating:


"Very angry at the government for not informing us at all. The floodwaters entered the office and we couldn't move things in time because we trusted the claim that it was under control."

"Really angry #Flood #FloodVictims"


Social media users commented with support and various opinions, such as: “When I heard the government say ‘under control,’ I told my family to move things to the second floor immediately,” and “Don’t panic. Under control = covered up to head and knees.”
