Bangkok Flood Control: Ruling Party MP Urges PM to Include Koobon Water Retention Area in New City Plan

A ruling party MP has urged Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to intervene in the integration of the Koobon water retention area, known as a 'Khamling' (monkey cheek) flood control facility, into Bangkok's new city plan, citing a lack of progress from the Bangkok Governor. The Governor cited high costs, a claim the MP disputes, emphasizing the critical need for flood mitigation.
