Residents in Bangkok have turned a flooded plaza in front of a shopping centre into a temporary floating market, as floodwaters continue to inundate parts of the Thai capital. Sellers waded through floodwaters to sell fish, vegetables, and other goods from floating platforms and foam boxes, while buyers waded or paddled between makeshift stalls for their essentials. Bangkok is among 41 provinces across Thailand hit by floods since September 16, which have killed at least eight people and affected more than 580,000 homes, the country's interior ministry says. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration declared the capital a disaster-affected area on the weekend after nearly 300 millimetres of rain fell over 48 hours, leading to flooding on major roads that left some cars partly submerged. #Thailand #Bangkok #Floods Note: In most cases, our captions are auto-generated. #ABCNEWS #ABCNEWSAustralia
