Thailand prepares for upcoming rainy season

As the clean up from the last flood in Thailand continues, attention has now turned to the next wet season which could start in over a month.br br Seven industrial estates were flooded last year, costing the country billions in dollars. Factories belonging to international giants like Honda, Sony, and Western Digital came to a complete standstill, and today most of the affected companies still have not resumed full production.br br Currently Thailand's flood defences are beginning to take shape, but the government has yet to deliver on its promise to pay thwo-thirds of the cost of the wall.br br But factory owners cannot afford to wait.br br Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay reports from Pathum Thani, Thailand.
