Bangkok Floods After Heavy Rain
Bangkok has a big flood problem. It rained very hard for two days. Many roads are under water. Cars can not move. Thousands of people left their homes. The city says all 50 areas are in danger.
The east of the city is the worst. Workers try to push the water out. But the water keeps coming. A woman named Somkid is 67 years old. Water is at her waist near her shop. She closed her shop for two days. She says this flood is worse than a big flood in 2011.
The rain will not stop soon. People should stay home. They should move things upstairs if they live near water. No one has died yet. But people are worried because the rain continues.
