Victims of a waste water flood from an ethanol factory in Suphan Buri are suffering health issues and destroyed crops....

Hundreds of farmers in Suphan Buri’s Dan Chang district…complained that their rice crop had started to die off and they had not been offered assistance from the owners of Thai Agro Energy Company or local authorities.

More than 590 families from 35 villages in Suphan Buri are suffering environmental and health impacts from the flood since the wastewater reservoirs overflowed at the plant.... 

…Many low-lying areas, including paddy fields, were still flooded with wastewater, which had killed aquatic animals, destroyed crops and harmed people’s health.

…The Bt10,000 the factory had given to affected people was not enough to pay for the damages caused by the incident. Many people…have started to have financial problems as they have not had incomes since the flood.

Some local people have started to talk about filing a lawsuit against the company….
