Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra (2nd R) wears a life jacket as she consults with government officers during a visit to a flood area in Pathum Thani, on September 28. More than 600,000 Thais have been affected by flooding since July and more than a quarter of Thailand's provinces have been inundated, prompting officials to issue landslide warnings and begin evacuation measures on Monday.
