Story summary

Bangkok, Thailand declared a flood disaster zone after 48 hours of heavy rain caused widespread flooding, submerging roads and forcing thousands to evacuate. Over 300 millimeters (11.8 inches) of rain fell since Thursday afternoon, inundating canals and sending water into homes and businesses. The city's drainage system was overwhelmed by the continuous rainfall, leading to severe traffic disruptions in a city already known for its congested roads. While casualties have not been reported yet, concerns remain as more rain is expected through Sunday, raising fears of further canal overflows. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt advised residents to stay indoors and move belongings to upper floors near canals. This flooding resembles the devastating 2011 event that killed over 500 people across Thailand.
