Flash Floods Batter Hanging Bridge

Heavy rain this morning caused flash floods which battered a suspension bridge leading to a Buddhist temple. Footage shows how the river outside the Wat Khiri Wong religious building in Nakhon Si Thammarat was transformed within moments into a raging torrent. Gallons of muddy water running down from the nearby mountains pummelled the flimsy wooden hanging bridge - turning it into an intimidating crossing. Once the rain has subsided, worshippers were able to walk tentatively across the bridge, with the fast-flowing water running below them.
