New night market in Vientiane has flooded

New night market in Vientiane has flooded

In Vientiane, the new night market has flooded.

Admittedly, it was built on the side of the embankment that floods annually. However, the protective walls surrounding the market meant to protect it wasn't quite high enough to withstand the rising water.

Crowds gathered around and at one point during the day traffic jams ensued as people made their way to the flooded areas wanting witness what was happening.
