Their Majesties the King and Queen yesterday graciously granted assistance to two poor families that had appealed for help and provided 500 relief kits to some 500 underprivileged persons in Ang Thong.
Privy Councillor Chumpol Pachusanon yesterday presided over the ceremony attended by the family of Wiset Chaicharn district resident Wichai Pikulkhao and the family of Chai Nai resident Ontheera Roshom, 15, as well as the 500 recipients of the relief bags.
Wichai had suffered from injustice over the payment of expropriation compensation related to Pa Sak Dam, his wife was paralysed, his son was epileptic and he had diabetes.
Ontheera was seriously injured when a 10wheel truck accidentally ran over her but the transport company and insurance firm refused to help her.
For this occasion, Ramathibodi Hospital's mobile unit performed free medical checkups and dispensed dental services and eye treatment to the locals while the Office of the AttorneyGeneral's mobile units offered free legal advice.
