The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), under the Ministry of Interior, is offering financial compensation of up to THB 49,500 to homeowners whose properties were damaged by the March 28 earthquake in Myanmar. The support is intended to assist with the repair of affected private residences.
According to Bangkok MP Suphanat Minchaiynunt, owners of houses and condominium units impacted by the 8.2-magnitude earthquake—which caused structural damage across northern and central Thailand, including parts of Bangkok—are eligible to apply for this reimbursement.
In a statement posted on Facebook, MP Suphanat noted that eligible applicants must reside in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, or designated areas within Pathum Thani, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Phrae, and Phichit provinces.
“The reimbursement covers repairs to privately-owned homes and condominium units, up to a maximum of THB 49,500. Communal property repairs are not included. Homeowners with existing insurance coverage are also eligible to apply,” he clarified.
Application Procedure:
- Photograph the damaged areas of the property.
