Severe flooding in Thailand has left more than 300 people dead and thousands of others stranded. As rain water continues to inundate farms and flood cities, the country now faces about US$7 billion in damages. The situation began at the start of monsoon season in July, and three months of rain has resulted in the worst flooding in Thailand for 50 years.
