Bangkok Bolsters Flood Defences

The Thai military continues to try and prepare Bangkok for the arrival of flood water, high tides and stormy weather. Sand bags are being used to raise existing defences and canals drained so that they can be used as overflow channels and diversion channels. The Thai government and military are trying to protect high value locations in the centre of Bangkok and divert flood water around Bangkok.
