This is the dramatic moment an outdoor toilet was swept into a swollen river as floods eroded its foundation following heavy rain in Thailand.

The shed was seen teetering on the edge of a riverbank that had softened after continuous tropical rain storms drenched Rayong province in the east of the country.

Terrified owner Chan Bawty watched as the ground behind her durian orchard collapsed, plunging the structure into the raging torrents on September 7.

She said: 'The flood has damaged everything I have. I hope the situation returns to normal.'

Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, are in the middle of their tropical monsoon rainy season, which lasts from May or June until November.

Soaring temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius are often followed by powerful tropical storms with thunder, lightning, rain and flash floods which cause rivers to flow faster and become dangerous.

This year, meteorologists have blamed climate change for the sustained heavy rain, which has been hitting the Thai capital and provinces around the country causing severe floods for several weeks.

Warnings of strong wind and storms were also issued for regions across the northeast, east, and south. Thailand's Center for Climate Change and Disaster claimed the coming months could see heavier, longer rainfalls, due to 'climate change'.

Local media reported that the country has this year seen 'an unusually sustained and persistent rainy season'.
