A river overflowed onto roads following heavy rain water run off from Typhoon Noru in Thailand.

Water from the Chao Phraya River poured through the Pa Mok district of Ang Thong province, seeping into some 500 buildings and stranding vehicles on highways on October 3.

Footage shows the flood gushing along a road linking Ang Thong province to Ayutthaya province. The water level started rising as early as 3 am local time, local media reported.

Traffic officers had to assist drivers on motorcycles to keep them from being swept away by the current.

Residents said they evacuated their belongings and appliances as the flood surged.

Police Colonel Sawek Eammongkol, superintendent of the Pa Mok Police Station, said that ‘police personnel would be out to help ease traffic and to assist with any problems on the road'.

Electricity officials also hurried to turn off the power in order to prevent electrical short circuits.

The floods came after Typhoon Noru dumped large amounts of water in Northeast Thailand last week and the run-off poured from mountains and streams into rivers which flow towards the capital Bangkok, in the central region.

Typhoon Noru made landfall in Vietnam last Wednesday and weakened to a tropical depression as it moved into Thailand on Thursday, September 29.

One person in Thailand's Sisaket province died when powerful winds knocked a tree onto a pickup truck, injuring two others inside. While in the Philippines, where Noru first struck, at least 10 people were killed and an estimated 50,000 displaced by the severe weather.
