Amusing footage shows two lads using an inflatable yellow duck to reach the shops after their road was flooded.<br /><br />Kampanat Thernsaket and his friend, Bank, were stranded when heavy rains caused the deluge in Pattaya, eastern Thailand on July 7.<br /><br />However, their inflatable rubber duck proved useful in the knee-deep water because they were able to ride to the local corner shop. <br /><br />They also gave free rides to people who did not want their legs to get wet in the dirty water.<br /><br />Bank, a chef, said: "This might be the way we live our new-normal life. Everyone should get themselves a giant floating animal. It is fun and useful at the same time."<br /><br />Thailand's monsoon rainy season lasts from May to late September. There are regular thunderstorms and heavy rain, which often leads to flash floods as the country's underdeveloped and under-invested infrastructure struggles to cope with the deluge.
