Bangkok declares flood emergency after two days of heavy rain

Bangkok declares flood emergency after two days of heavy rain

Thai authorities have declared a flood emergency across Bangkok after 48 hours of torrential rain submerged roads. Residents in areas adjacent to canals have received guidance to relocate their possessions to upper floors, as all 50 districts are now designated emergency zones. Water levels appear worse than in 2011, when nationwide flooding killed hundreds across Thailand.
