Rapid Assessment for Resilient Recovery and ... - GFDRR

Damage
The total damage to buildings,

equipment and machinery for
the five provinces have been
estimated at THB 221 billion.
Ayuthaya is the highest at
over THB 90 billion, where
Bangkok is estimated at
almost THB 40 billion in damage.
The average damage in in
Thai baht per size of industry
had been obtained through
ABAC field surveys and this
figure is used in conjunction
with the estimated number
of factories broken down by
size to extrapolate the end
result. The extent of damage
to equipment and machinery
varies from province to
province. Enterprises in the
upper northern region like
Nakhon Sawan and Ayuthaya
experienced more damage
than those lying to the south,
as there was less time for
business enterprises to
relocate expensive equipment
to higher floors.
The Ministry of Industry also estimates damage in various industrial estates (i.e. Saharat
na Nakorn, Rojana, Hi-tech, Bang Pa-in, Factoryland, Nawanakorn and Bang Kadi) to be
approximately THB 237.4 billion, and in affected provinces (i.e. Chai Nat, Nakhon Sawan,
Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Ayuthaya, Lop Buri, Ang Thong, and Uthai Thani) to be THB
237.3 billion. Combined with the results from the survey, which includes Bangkok, the total
damage is estimated to be THB 513.9 billion.
