Floodwater gushed into a home as monsoon rains battered northern Thailand.
Video shows the brown torrents spilling into a house in Phayao province on August 21.
Authorities said heavy rain had been lashing Nan province in recent days. The downpours have flooded roads and spilled into farms and homes, forcing residents to leave for higher ground.
Nan governor Chainarong Wongyai said on August 22 that the rain had ceased, though 10 districts in the province remain heavily flooded.
The Thai Meteorological Department had forecasted widespread thunderstorms and heavy rain across northern Thailand, including Nan province.
Thailand and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are in their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms in the afternoon leading to widespread flash floods.
