Two million people hit by Thailand's worst floods for 50 years
At least 283 people have been killed and more than 110,000 people left homeless by floods that have destroyed crops and livlihoods across Thailand.
Central rural areas of Thailand are the worst affected by the heavy monsoon
rain that has left 26 of Thailand's 77 provinces under water.
Japanese automakers including Toyota have suspended production in the kingdom
due to water damage to facilities or disruption to parts supplies.
In Ayutthaya province, Buddhist monks raced against rising floodwaters to
rescue their religious texts.
Bangkok is bracing for a large amount of rainwater water this weekend to add
to the seasonal high tides that make it harder for the excess water to drain
to the sea.
Major tourist destinations remain mostly unaffected by the floods.
