High waters submerged roads as floods continued to plague Thailand.

The deluge, which reached up to 60 centimetres deep, raged across the streets of Ang Thong province, disrupting traffic for light vehicle drivers on October 17.

Footage shows pickup truck owners braving the strong torrents, with some of them forced back after wading through the powerful current at the junction.

Thason Pansaponthon, head of the Bang Rakam Subdistrict Administrative Organization, said: 'Around 2,300 people are now affected by the flooding caused by runoff from Sing Buri province and the Noi River.

'The floods have also caused trouble for residents in one-storey houses. Travelling along roads is also difficult.'

Thailand has been experiencing severe flooding 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 heavy floods for several weeks.

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'.

The heavy rain has been compounded by the deluge from Typhoon Noru, which dumped water in the northeast region of the country, causing rivers flowing into the central region to swell.
