This year Thailand is receiving above average monsoon rains which have been responsible for over 200 deaths since July. The monsoon rains are vital for Thailand because they help recharge surface and ground water stores. These supplies of water are vital for sustaining Thailand's growing population and supporting one of Thailand's major exports, rice. However, the above average rainfall this year has caused widespread damage and affected tourism in towns like Chiang Mai and Ayutthaya.
