Jet ski rider navigates flooded Bangkok streets
Days of heavy rain have left parts of Bangkok deep underwater, with one man seen riding a jet ski down a flooded street. Thousands of residents have been forced into shelters.
Parts of Bangkok, Thailand's capital, have been submerged after days of heavy rainfall caused severe flooding across roads, markets and residential areas. In an unusual scene captured on video, a man navigated a jet ski through one of the flooded streets, drawing crowds of onlookers who stopped to watch and film.
The rising floodwaters have forced thousands of residents from their homes into emergency shelters. Others have chosen to stay behind, working to protect their properties from the water and gather essential supplies before conditions worsen.
Footage circulating in international media, including Euronews, shows the extent of the flooding in affected neighbourhoods. No details have been released regarding casualties, the financial scale of the damage, or specific government relief measures — the available information is limited to eyewitness video and a general account of the situation on the ground.
