Bangkok, a city where modern skyscrapers sit side by side with ancient temples, is full of hidden gems and stories that often go untold. One of the most intriguing spots in the city has to be the curious “Thanon Tok,” or “The Falling Road.” While the name might conjure images of accidents or dramatic falls, the true story behind it is far more fascinating.

Bangkok was hit by heavy rains early morning on Tuesday, flooding several roads and causing traffic congestion even before the daily rush hour.
