Severe monsoon flooding driven by a strong low-pressure system has impacted over 545,000 people across 25 Thai provinces and Bangkok, leaving at least 10 dead and forcing residents to navigate inundated streets in dinghies. Amid the crisis, a 27-year-old man was arrested after filming himself joyriding a bright green jet ski down Bangkok’s submerged Phetchaburi Road, an act he claimed was meant to cheer up locals. Disaster officials continue assessing the widespread damage, while critics point to longstanding infrastructure deficiencies and corruption as compounding the annual seasonal disaster.
