In Thailand there are mounting concerns that areas of the capital Bangkok will be hit by torrents of water rushing into the city from the flood hit north of the country. Water has risen in the canals where sluice gates have been opened in a bid to help the deluge drain into the sea as authorities admitted they could not hold back the volume of water.

As the floodwaters rise in Bangkok and its residents begin to flee, they aren't forgetting their pets. Whether street dogs or household animals, humans are leaving no pets behind.

Flood waters inundating Thailand north of Bangkok since July have made the journey south and reached the capital. The disaster is responsible for 400 deaths in Thailand and neighboring Cambodia and Vietnam. Thailand is the world's biggest rice exporter, but the floods have wiped out over a quarter of the country's crop. The government has declared a five-day holiday for the capital to allow residents time to evacuate. Damages could top six billion dollars in Thailand's worst flooding in 50 years. Collected here are images of the water as it moves south to Bangkok, and how residents there are dealing with the disaster. -- Lane Turner

Drownings are a huge unreported epidemic in Southeast Asia, killing an estimated 240,000 children up to 17 years old each year - mostly because the majority of kids in the region simply never learn to swim.
