Flooding in Thailand
When visiting Thai beaches, tourists are always cautioned against the Kingdom’s ‘Monsoon Season’. Being a tropical country located so close to the equator, it doesn’t come as a surprise that storms in flooding in Thailand is a common occurrence.
The real ‘wow’ factor is how high the water rises.
Fish in the streets
Sattahip District in the Chonburi province showed highly elevated water levels this March.
An image from Siam Focus Time showed 4-wheelers‘ wheels being submerged in the rain.
Locals have been facing this problem and have asked the municipality to provide assistance and a solution to the flooding, according to True ID.
With the rain coming and going, contents from surrounding bodies of water – like catfish – soon spilled into the streets.
In fact, there were so many catfish that locals were able to show off a basket of them.

Dancing in the storm
Monsoon season is definitely something that locals prepare for – almost everyone packs a raincoat or umbrella for the commute from March – May. However, sometimes the rain can be so unpredictable that it causes a sudden flood that lasts for extended periods of time.
In the case of these locals, they managed to have the fresh catches of the day swim right up to their streets.
