Government agencies have been sued previously.
How many of those lawsuits were successful and resulted in adequate compensation? Just curious...

Good luck starting the 20-year process of suing in court only to be awarded a compensation of a few thousand baht.
Never forget that nobody is responsible in Thailand when things go wrong. It will be a hell of a road to get someone to admit fault.

You know water and electronic stuff don’t mix.
And it is hard to deliver stuff when the roads are washed out.Good luck in court. We are all counting on you.

He said that recent dam failures showed that the RID did not perform its duty properly and the affected people could sue the agency and relevant agencies for this wrongdoing.
There’s a slippery slope between incompetence and negligence. I doubt you can sue for incompetence, or else the civil court system here would be awash. Proving negligence seems problematic given the recent dissenting judge in the Yingluck case (requires ill intent).

Can sue “Little P” for his breaking promise? He did boldly promise “no more flood”.
