Bangkok residents use boats instead of cars as floods reach disaster level

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt declared Bangkok a disaster-affected zone on Saturday after more than 24 hours of continuous rain caused widespread flooding. Video footage showed residents navigating submerged streets by boat.

Rainfall exceeded 150 millimeters in some areas, leaving business and residential districts, especially near canals, flooded with water ankle- to knee-deep. Residents stocked up on supplies, and drivers parked on bridges to escape the water. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast through Sunday.

Warning of threats to life and property, authorities issued an emergency advisory urging residents near canals to move belongings to higher ground.
