Thousands are leaving Bangkok as the country's worst floods in decades inundate parts of the capital.

Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River spilled over into historical riverside buildings on October 28, including the Grand Palace. At the former home of Thailand’s monarchies, soldiers scrambled to pump out ankle-deep water.

The flooding has interrupted supermarket supply chains. Residents stocking up on supplies have emptied Bangkok’s shelves of essentials.

Thailand’s central plains have been inundated for months, closing several industrial parks, crippling manufacturing, and killing hundreds.

Foreign governments, including the United States, have warned citizens against unessential travel due to the transportation difficulties and food shortage.
