Floodwaters recede in Bangkok as torrential rains ease
Bangkok's floodwaters are slowly receding, as heavy rains ease after days of wet weather. Most affected areas are expected to return to normal later this week, but parts of the Thai capital remain badly inundated. In Bang Kapi, east of Bangkok, the deluge turned one neighbourhood into an unlikely floating market. Saksith Saiyasombut reports from Bangkok.
