Bangkok is in trouble. Heavy rain has caused massive flooding across the entire city. Because the situation is so serious, officials have officially declared every single one of the city's 50 districts a disaster zone.

The flooding has been very bad. Water has covered streets, making it hard for cars and buses to get around. Traffic is a mess. Many people are having to leave their homes because of the rising water, and officials are working to get everyone to safety.

Pictures from the area show water rushing through neighborhoods. It is a very difficult time for everyone living in the capital. Local groups and news agencies are watching the situation closely as rain continues to fall.

If you are in Bangkok, please stay safe and listen to instructions from local leaders. They will tell you where it is safe to go and how to get help if you need it.
