Flash floods swamped a border town as heavy rain hit Myanmar.

Footage shows muddy waters spilling into a market as the Sai River burst its banks in Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand, on April 29.

Local district chief Warayut Khomboon said downpours had battered neighbouring Myanmar, causing the river to swell.

The flash floods come as Thailand and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are nearing their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms.

However, the rudimentary infrastructure often struggles with the deluge, leading to widespread flash floods.
