Bangkok is a city that keeps moving, even when the weather changes the streets. This reel captures a flood, an unusual and striking part of city life that is hard to understand from a still photograph alone.

Water changes the familiar shape of a place. Routes and routines have to adjust, and the city takes on a different texture for a while. The video keeps a brief record of that moment as it unfolded.

It is a reminder that a journal can hold more than beautiful views. It can also preserve the unexpected scenes that become part of living somewhere.

Thanks for spending a moment here.Back to stories
