Thailand floods: At the floodwaters' edge, entrepreneurs flourish

Floods in Thailand have killed 437 people and submerged the northern suburbs and towns. As floodwater slowly make their way to the center of Bangkok, locals are showing a can-do ethos.

Residents wade through floodwaters in the Bang Phlat district of Bangkok, Tuesday. Higher than normal tides pushing into the Chao Phraya river from the Gulf of Thailand in recent days have complicated efforts to drain floodwaters flowing from the country's central heartland, where vast areas have been submerged for up to two months.
