Ever since a destructive flood ripped through Thailand, many have been homeless, and countless industries have stalled because of this natural disaster. After weeks of rebuilding, some of Honda's facilities are up and running again.

According to Reuters, Honda Motors has resumed production of some models, including their motorcycle and power equipment divisions. These are located at the Thai Honda Manufacturing Co Ltd on Lat Krabang estate. Work began once again after parts from other regions became available. Luckily, no major flood damage was reported at these plants.

Honda's car production, base in Rojana park, has been suspended since October 4. As of mid-November, it remains closed.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said last week about "120 billion baht ($3.9 billion) had been set aside for the flood recovery effort, a figure that rises to 130 billion baht when local government funds are added."¹

The auto maker has confirmed their upcoming 2012 models will make it to dealerships worldwide, including Walser Honda, located at 14800 Buck Hill Road in Burnsville, MN 55306.
