Authorities in Thailand’s capital have declared a state of emergency across all 50 of Bangkok’s districts following heavy rain that has caused major flooding.
The declaration allows authorities to implement measures more quickly.
It comes after the governor said nearly 300 millimeters of rain had fallen since Thursday.
Rain has fallen almost without pause since Thursday afternoon. Roads are underwater and the city’s canals have overflowed their banks, flooding many homes and restaurants along the waterways.
