Parts of Bangkok were left under waist-high floodwater as officials warned of more heavy monsoon rain<\/p>\n
At least two people have been killed and one feared dead in flood-related incidents across Thailand as the entire capital was declared a disaster area on Saturday following days of torrential rain.
\nHeavy rain battered Bangkok overnight Friday and continued into Saturday, flooding major roads and neighborhoods across the capital as severe weather hit large swathes of the country.
\nThe two deaths were reported in Chanthaburi province in eastern Thailand. A Buddhist monk was killed in a landslide while another person died after a fishing boat capsized, Thailand\u2019s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) said. Another person was also killed in Bangkok, according to Thai newspaper Matichon.<\/p>\n
Videos from Bangkok show cars flooded up to the roof and people forced to wade through the waterlogged streets.<\/p>\n

The danger of flash floods and landslides will remain over the next 24 hours as a strengthening southwest monsoon brings heavy rain, Thailand\u2019s National Disaster Warning Center said Saturday.
