Royal Thai Navy Deploys Ships for Public Assistance Following Road Collapse

Bangkok: The Royal Thai Navy has taken action by dispatching three ships to assist the public after a road collapse occurred in front of Vajira Hospital. Captain Warit Pachihi, assistant spokesman for the Royal Thai Navy, explained that the incident was triggered by underground drilling, which likely caused a water pipe to rupture, resulting in an underground cavity and the subsequent collapse of the road surface.

According to Thai News Agency, the Royal Thai Navy is committed to easing the difficulties faced by people in the affected area. They have prepared three passenger ships to facilitate the transportation needs of those who require travel in the vicinity, ensuring safe and uninterrupted movement. The navy is offering complimentary pick-up and drop-off services for the public along the route from Payap Pier to Nawamintharathiraj University Pier (Vachira Hospital) and Thewet Pier. This service operates from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily and will continue until the situation stabilizes.

The Royal Thai Navy emphasizes its dedication to public safety and has announced its coordination with local authorities and relevant government agencies to manage the situation effectively. They aim to maintain safety and support for the public until normal conditions are restored. For any inquiries or further information, the public is encouraged to contact the Royal Thai Navy directly at 1696.
