In pictures: Plan Thailand battles the elements to deliver flood-relief kits
The day begans at 7 am at Plan Thailand's office building in central Bangkok with about 20 staff loading the trucks.
As Plan Thailand reaches Ayutthaya, the extent of the flooding is impossible to miss.
Eventually the trucks get stuck and some staff have to take a boat to lighten the load.
From the boat, the roads look more like rivers as Plan Thailand tries to avoid lampposts and other obstacles.

Not to be deterred by the water, the local authorities arrange for Plan to hitch a ride on a fire engine to reach swamped households.
The flooding means that some people can't make it to the main distribution point, so Plan come to them.

All gone! The empty truck at the end of the day
October 2011: Plan Thailand travelled north of Bangkok to the swamped district of Bang Pa-in, Ayutthaya province, to drop off 900 relief kits for flood-affected children and their families on October 22.
The team of about 20 staff and volunteers loaded the trucks at Plan Thailand HQ in central Bangkok at about 7 am before heading off as the morning sun rose. The team was crammed into the back of one truck while the supplies were packed into the other.
Waterworld
While downtown Bangkok was bone dry, the outskirts were a different story and as the trucks reached Rangsit the road disappeared beneath a metre or so of water. Cars lay abandoned on both sides of the road and lots of people were wading through the water, some looking to hitch rides to dry land.
As the team reached Ayutthaya, the most familiar sight was of longtail boats zipping up the road past semi-submerged cars and motorbikes.
The staff truck had soon gone as far as it could bearing the weight of all 20 people on board, at which point half the crew had to get into a boat for the next part of the journey.
Job well done
But on a scorching day and in the most unfortunate of circumstances, Plan did eventually reach Bang Pa-in, where the real work began and the relief kits started flying off the truck.
By about 5 pm with the last of the relief kits unloaded, there was just time for a bite to eat before staff, many of whom would promptly fell asleep, hopped back onto the truck for the ride home.
