Trucks drive on submerged road as flooding continues in Thailand

Water has reached up to 60cm deep, causing trouble for the vehicles as they attempted to drive through.

Since September, heavy rain and tropical storms have triggered flooding in 59 of Thailand’s 77 provinces, according to the interior ministry.
