Koh Kret Flooded Again | Rising Water Levels Today in Thailand Koh Kret, the famous island on the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi, Thailand, has been hit by flooding once again. Today, the water level rose higher than in previous days, affecting local communities, temples, and riverside homes. This video shows the latest situation as residents deal with the rising water levels.
00:00Every year when the monsoon clouds roll over Thailand, the Chow Freya River begins to rise again.
00:20Its mighty waves move gently, but surely, swelling until they spill over the riverbanks
00:27and into the narrow walkways of Cochret, a small island nestled close to the river's heart.
00:34For the people of Cochret, this is nothing new.
00:38As the clock nears 6 p.m., they watch the water slowly creep into their yards, their temples, and their markets.
00:46By nightfall, the island glimmers under reflections of streetlights dancing on the floodwater.
00:53Life adjusts, wooden walkways are raised, sandals are swapped for boats, and laughter still echoes through the narrow alleys.
01:03When the morning sun returns, the water slowly retreats.
01:07By daytime, the island looks almost normal again, as if nothing happened.
01:13The potters continue shaping their famous moan-style play, vendors reopen their food stalls, and monks walk barefoot along the paths to receive alms.
01:24Life on Cochret is not easy. The rising river tests their patience, their resilience, and their hope.
01:32Yet, the people here never stop smiling. They live with the rhythm of the river, rising and falling again and again.
01:41Tourism is the heartbeat of this island. Visitors bring life, color, and connection to this quiet community.
01:49So if you ever get the chance, come and visit Cochret. Walk its paths, taste its sweets, talk to its kind people.
01:58Because even when the water rises, life goes on.
02:03From and about and out of the water rises.
02:05The water rises and it goes to the water flow.
02:09The water flows will beithered with no other water.
02:13The water rises and the water rises above shore.
