Raging flash floods overflowed a waterfall submerging floating restaurants in Thailand.

Continuous rain forced attractions around the body of water to shut down as the deluge reached the eating area in Prachinburi province on September 25.

Footage shows muddy currents sweeping across a river into tents, scaffolds, and bamboo cottages.

Last week, severe weather inundated homes and affected businesses in the area.

According to the Meteorological Department, the arrival of Typhoon Noru has put the waterfalls at even greater risk. It is expected to cause heavy rainfall from September 27 to 29. The torrential storm has already caused nine deaths and displaced tens of thousands in the Philippines.

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 seen 'an unusually sustained and persistent rainy season' this year.
