Thailand Great Flood 2011 Part IV

<div style="text-align: justify;">The massive body of water now surrounding Bangkok is continuing its long, destructive trip toward the ocean. The flood is the result of the heavy monsoon rains that drenched Southeast Asia four months ago, leaving Thailand and neighboring countries submerged and claiming more than 1,000 lives across the region. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The waters that inundated Ayutthaya to the north of Bangkok have largely receded, but suburbs to the south and west remain under threat, with evacuation notices still being issued. Central Bangkok appears to have been spared the worst of the flooding, due in part to a protective wall of sandbags some 6 km (3.7 mi) long. Throughout the surrounding area, many thousands remain in evacuation centers, or with friends and family, waiting for the worst flooding in decades to recede. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Collected here are images from Thailand over the past two weeks.<br><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtganM1_bcVP2KgnysNv2-pNj01lMF6pDph23Xcf7MY6SK-0_wbo1mXosAbNNYVybDz8ZKpxXMhcHRTkbqwYRFNQJ5EHt_Hk7Bo30SCte6MdvkrvlTpPPGdUNK6XxdxT-WICEnxTM0blR/s1600/Thailand+Great+Flood+2011+020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtganM1_bcVP2KgnysNv2-pNj01lMF6pDph23Xcf7MY6SK-0_wbo1mXosAbNNYVybDz8ZKpxXMhcHRTkbqwYRFNQJ5EHt_Hk7Bo30SCte6MdvkrvlTpPPGdUNK6XxdxT-WICEnxTM0blR/s640/Thailand+Great+Flood+2011+020.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: center;">A man uses stilts to walk through floodwaters in Bangkok, on November 9, 2011.

Thailand Great Flood 2011 Part III

<div style="text-align: justify;">The worst flooding Thailand has seen in 50 years appears to be coming down from its high-water mark, largely sparing central Bangkok while continuing to inundate surrounding suburbs and farms. Heavy monsoon rains have submerged nearly a third of the country's provinces since July, killing more than 370 people. Over the weekend, high tides and heavy flooding threatened central Bangkok, but defenses appear to have held. However, some residents in surrounding areas have expressed anger at being placed on the outside of these protective barriers and having floodwater diverted toward them. Areas west of Bangkok are still expected to be hard hit in the coming days as the last of the flooding makes its way to the sea. Gathered here are images from Thailand as the waters start to recede and the task of recovery begins.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWnoAeMWzdI9XMNkJ6Hy43ixIjlDTFUJMaV8I2oT58FKhu0Gl2qb3W6AtW9oOBz32QoO0RZOXfRYDH59F5I5QhgCvjNP76WKEY3d3d-Tst_73jn1yb0QPYtkq8YbTamC3xU8R2wjT7BcA_/s1600/Thailand+Great+Flood+2011+03+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWnoAeMWzdI9XMNkJ6Hy43ixIjlDTFUJMaV8I2oT58FKhu0Gl2qb3W6AtW9oOBz32QoO0RZOXfRYDH59F5I5QhgCvjNP76WKEY3d3d-Tst_73jn1yb0QPYtkq8YbTamC3xU8R2wjT7BcA_/s640/Thailand+Great+Flood+2011+03+001.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thai soldiers hold onto each other, pulling against the stream of water flowing into a neighborhood after a wall was breached by the swollen Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 30, 2011</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsnZEEuPQpSPL2pQnzmauYsVSNPQa7Lm1GvgbyWB2Jk0b9jFa0me4Fu29kQTEVRMl7xx7PHhyIq9FT7gv7WDpuVs4iXwMYQUEp-DKXbrBUY-acoFxK9p2ZlrJMoLbrLBaJw-OfhfCyIgn/s1600/Thailand+Great+Flood+2011+03+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsnZEEuPQpSPL2pQnzmauYsVSNPQa7Lm1GvgbyWB2Jk0b9jFa0me4Fu29kQTEVRMl7xx7PHhyIq9FT7gv7WDpuVs4iXwMYQUEp-DKXbrBUY-acoFxK9p2ZlrJMoLbrLBaJw-OfhfCyIgn/s640/Thailand+Great+Flood+2011+03+003.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Local residents evacuate their flooded neighborhood on the back of a truck in an area near the Chao Praya river in Bangkok, on October 29, 2011.</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/11/thailand-great-flood-2011-part-iii.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
