Standing water in Bangkok is expected to clear within three days if no more rain falls, the Thai government said, after about 320 mm of rain over two to three days last week, nearly a full September's worth, flooded the low-lying capital. Flag carrier Thai Airways is still struggling to restore normal service, with flight delays and cancellations and hundreds of bags stranded at Suvarnabhumi Airport, while flooding has hit 1,267 businesses across 40 provinces and caused an estimated $320 million in damage nationwide. The disaster also claimed at least one foreign life: a South Korean man who went missing on a flooded road near Pattaya was confirmed dead, and the cabinet is due to discuss long-term flood plans.
