The entirety of Bangkok has been designated a flood disaster zone as authorities struggle to manage extensive flooding caused by recent heavy rainfall. The deluge over the past two days has overwhelmed the city's drainage systems, and forecasters predict continued precipitation on Sunday.
Residents have been advised to remain at home, and those living near the city's canal network have been instructed to move their possessions to higher floors. Efforts are underway to pump the accumulated floodwaters out to sea. Bangkok, Thailand's capital, is a low-lying city prone to flooding, especially during the monsoon season.
