Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt declared the capital a disaster-affected zone on Saturday after over 24 hours of continuous rain caused widespread flooding. Video footage showed residents navigating submerged streets by boat. Rainfall exceeded 150 mm (5.9 inches) in areas, leaving business and residential districts, especially near canals — flooded 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, the government issued an emergency advisory urging residents near canals to move belongings to higher ground. #thailand #flooding #climatechange
