曼谷：泰国政府周二（9月29日）表示，如果不再有额外降雨且预计不会出现强降雨，曼谷的积水预计需要两到三天才能清除。

The Cabinet will discuss long-term plans to address flooding and recovery measures on Tuesday, government spokesperson Ekkapob Pianpises told a Bangkok was hit by around 320mm of rain over two to three days last week, nearly as much as the sprawling low-lying city usually gets in the whole of September.
上周，曼谷在两到三天内遭遇了约320毫米的降雨，几乎相当于这座低洼城市整个九月的降雨量。洪水造成的损失估计超过3.2亿美元。
Damage caused by the flooding was estimated at over US$320 million.
尽管曼谷的主要机场在周末的降雨和洪水中保持运营，但素万那普机场的一些行李处理业务受到严重影响，周一有69名泰国空军人员被调派协助泰国航空的地面运营。据路透社目击者称，周二机场大厅内仍有数百件行李排队。
Although Bangkok's main airports kept running through the weekend rain and flooding, some baggage handling operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport were severely impacted, with 69 Thai Air Force personnel called in on Monday to support ground operations of flag carrier Thai Airways. Hundreds of bags were still lined up in hallways inside the airport on Tuesday, according to a Reuters witness.
