Bangkok residents hit the streets on Saturday to help clean up the flood-drenched city now that waters have receded.
Armed with brooms and mops, residents spent their weekend afternoon pitching in to beautify the capital.
[Nujip Juntasin, Worker]:
"When the flood waters first came, it was very, very sad. Now, the water has receded, we're happy, and we can help each other clean up."
The water missed the central part of Bangkok because soldiers successfully diverted it into canals and drainage systems to flow around the city and out to sea.
But here's where it ended up...
Residents in suburbs to the south and southwest of the city, right in the path of the water as it flows towards the coast, will have several more weeks of floodwaters to deal with.
Thailands worst floods in 50 years have killed nearly 600 people and affected over two million.
