Bangkok commuters were wearied but resolute as they made their way to work along rain-flooded roads on Tuesday morning.

A Bad Day for Bangkok Commuters
THE BANGKOK governor yesterday blamed the heaviest rain in 25 years for flooding in many parts of the capital, while the prime minister urged reform of all flood prevention systems to solve the problem.
Up to 36 areas across Bangkok were inundated by heavy rain on Monday night. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) said a record 182 millimetres fell in 24 hours in Khan Na Yao district. Some 142 millimetres fell in other parts of the city centre, such as Sathorn.
