Workers load sandbags to fix the hole of a water barrier built to prevent water from the Chaophraya river, right, to enter the historic area in Ayutthaya province, central Thailand Thursday, Oct. 5, 2006. Residents of low-lying areas along the Chao Phya River in the central region were warned to brace for more flooding. Officials were ordered to strengthen flood barriers as water levels would not recede until the end of this month due to seasonal high tides. (AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong)
