A Flooded Restaurant Near Bangkok Becomes A New Sought-after Dining Spot
Near Bangkok, Thailand, a flood-hit restaurant thrives in difficulty. It's thought that the flood could force the business to shut down, but the flood, on the other hand, brought a new dining experience to customers at this restaurant. And quickly, fun-loving foodies flock to this restaurant's waterlogged deck to enjoy its special "hot-pot surfing" experience.
As a recent tropical storm hits the mainland of Thailand, combining with heavy monsoon rains, the water level of many rivers has risen, threatening to flood the adjacent areas. As the water tops the parapet, the first diners arrive at Chaopraya. And as quickly as the water floods its deck, all the tables are filled with carefree customers happily tucking in amid the lapping tide. At some points, the water rises as high as 50cm (20 inches), and the wait staff have to use rubber boots while moving around.
