As floodwaters breach Bangkok’s domestic airport, residents of the capital and nearby Thai cities are being forced to make difficult decisions.
The government has allocated a $7.3bn fund for flood-hit businesses, but with water engulfing people’s homes, businesses and crops many are left stranded.
Some among those who can relocate fear for their belongings and remain in their flood-affected homes. Al Jazeera’s Wayne Hay reports from Bangkok.
