http://www.euronews.net/ High tides are putting flood defences to the test in Bangkok as Thailand battles its worst floods in over half a century.




At least 377 people have been killed since heavier-than-usual monsoon rains began in July.




The floodwaters cover about 1.6 million hectares -- an area roughly the size of Kuwait.




Thailand's prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra says water levels around the capital should drop next week.

  • Is that the prime minister? She looks so young.

  • Lets hope things get back to normal as quickly as possible.
