Residents of Bangkok have turned a flooded street outside a shopping mall into a makeshift floating market, with sellers wading through the water and offering fish and vegetables from floating platforms and foam boxes while shoppers walk or paddle between stalls. The scene followed continuous heavy rain that led authorities to declare the Thai capital a disaster-affected zone. It shows how residents are adapting to severe flooding that has disrupted daily life across the city, which sits on low-lying ground in the Chao Phraya river delta.
