Kayaks to the rescue

Though the factories owned by his family in Rojana and Nawanakorn Industrial Park in Ayutthaya have been inundated and they face a loss running into several hundred million baht, the devastation has not affected Danupol Siamwala's determination to help flood victims.


Danupol and his friends have formed a group named RongLui to help flood victims, focussing on rescuing people who are hard to reach and who've been waiting for help for a long time.

RongLui volunteers in kayaks deliver disaster relief packages to victims in conjunction with the group's partner networks, 1500Miles Foundation and Backline 2011.

RongLui and its partner networks have opened three depots to receive donations for disaster relief packages.

They are at the entrance to Water Theme Park (from 10am-6pm); Fun Fact Pub & Restaurant on Soi Mahadthai; and Srinakharinwirot University.

Volunteers pack donated items in relief kits and deliver them to the base camp at PAC Sports Centre on Rama II Road, which then distributes them to flood victims.
