In Bangkok, Thailand, locals have set up a floating market amid recent floods, turning the inundated streets into a makeshift marketplace.
Sellers waded through the floodwaters to display produce such as fish and vegetables on floating platforms and foam boxes, creating stalls that floated on the water.
Buyers navigated between the makeshift stalls by walking along the water or paddling in small boats, purchasing their groceries from the floating vendors.
The market showcases the resilience of Bangkok’s residents, who have adapted to the flooding by turning a crisis into an opportunity for commerce.
Such initiatives highlight how communities in flood‑prone areas are finding practical ways to maintain daily life and trade during extreme weather events.
