Residents in Bangkok have improvised a floating market as flooding disrupted normal access to groceries. Sellers waded through the water and used floating platforms and foam boxes to display and sell produce, including fish and vegetables.
Buyers navigated between the makeshift stalls on foot or by paddle, collecting essential groceries in the flooded area. The unusual market allowed trading to continue despite the water covering the local surroundings.
The scene, shown in a video published on 29 September 2026, highlights how sellers and shoppers adapted to the flood conditions. Rather than abandoning the market, vendors used floating equipment while customers moved through the water to reach them.
The available information does not specify the extent or cause of the flooding, how long the market operated, or whether normal shopping facilities were accessible elsewhere. It shows that, during the flooding, Bangkok locals created a temporary water-based marketplace for the sale and purchase of fish, vegetables and other produce.
