Monsoon Rains and Floods Ravage Thailand

'Deadly Thai floods also inundate World Heritage site'

The low lying areas of Thailand along the Chao Phraya river have been, and are still currently getting hit with torrential rainfall, and experiencing massive flooding. The article states 224 people have died thus far, but what is apparently of greater cost is the damage done to the historic temples that appear in this region. The estimated damage to these temples comes in at 3.2 million dollars, and on top of that the government has subsidized 250 million dollars for farmers agricultural losses.
