Bus ride through severe Thailand floods

Residents of Bangkok woke on Saturday morning to flooded roads that submerged cars and caused traffic jams in some areas after heavy rain lashed the Thai capital overnight.

A video taken from inside a bus showed the scale of the flooding. At times water could even be seen flowing into the moving passenger vehicle.

At least 55 major roads were flooded following the downpour, the Bangkok Post reported. It said the water ranged from depths of 30cm up to thigh-high.
