The government of Thailand says people have to get used to living with the floods that have engulfed the country.

Water is creeping closer to the heart of Bangkok, the capital, and while people have adapted to aquatic circumstances, many are fed up.

The government says that those people already suffering from the effects will have to endure the flooding for at least two more weeks.
