Footage shows a large waterspout stretching from the sea into the clouds in Rayong, eastern Thailand, today (April 25).<br /><br />The incredible natural phenomenon formed off the coast and was witnessed by workers from a nearby gas power plant.<br /><br />It came as tropical storms swept through the country lashing the capital Bangkok with heavy rain that led to flash floods and hails stones battered northern regions.<br /><br />Onlooker Mae Bhubet said: ''It was scary. I was standing in the power plant when I saw the waterspout. I guess it was in the middle of the sea.''<br /><br />Thailand's humid Mediterranean climate combined with fierce thunderstorms can often give rise to waterspouts in coastal areas.
