Bangkok: The Drowning City | Extreme Cities | Free Documentary

A study in 2020 warns that global warming will hit Bangkok, Thailand hard. The city is vulnerable to flooding due to its soft clay soil. By 2030, coastal areas and the main airport could be underwater.
Locals are doing what they can to defend their coastline. Some have partnered with a university research project to replant mangroves, while others are installing concrete and bamboo barriers in the sea. Question is: will it be enough? Does anyone know of other cities similarly endangered?

BKK WILL NOT DROWN .......PLEASE ENJOY BKK.

Im Caucasian, live in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I love these peoples from this part of the world ,
Such great attitudes, no "hang ups",
They keep negative thoughts and opinions amongst themselves, and those GENETICS!! Those 2 ladies said one was turning 80 years old, and she didn't even look 50 !!! Wow....
respect !!

These apartments are far in between. Have not seen one.

The resilience and determination of these cities facing such formidable environmental challenges are truly inspiring. This documentary sheds light on their courageous efforts to ensure their populations can thrive despite the odds. Thank you for highlighting their stories of resilience.

there is no date shown anywhere, in which year this film was made. not in the info box, not in the film itself in the credits or intro ?

Asian = intelligent race. Proud of who I am but wish I had an Asian brain 💯

When was this documentary filmed? Certainly not November 2023?? Seems to be at least 10 years old.

Yet they still keep building condos that are empty agter 2 years.since construction, biger hotels,is funny i live 300km inland in 20 years i will be on the beach,well i wont,too old

Thailand had a plan to set-up new capital city in Saraburi, 100 km from Bangkok. There will be a high-speed train to link between the new capitol and BKK business city.

When you make generalized predictions within the realm of reality they're bound to happen at some point.

Greetings from Poland to Thailand!!! ❤❤❤

Word is that governm3nts are creating these under the oceans 🌊

Why is there no subtitles in this video in other languages? 😢😢😢😢

Couldn't watch this one unfortunately. The "what if" climate alarmist theme was too much

Most people watch video's from a phone, doing a voice over like many other video's meant for english speaking audience's do this. I have wanted to watch several video's like this, but the small white lettering that also gets blocked by other colors on the screen is hard to read. I have vision issue's anyway from the MS i have. Please choose video's that do a full voice over, because i am frustrated everytime i want to watch a video like this that looks interesting, but i can't deal with trying to read something i can barely see. I appreciate your video's, and it's not just your channel, so I'm not upset with you, just the people who make a video for english speaker's, but don't have enough sense to do a voice over so people can watch it without missing half of what they are showing because of poor translations you can't read. G-d bless.

This was scary yet concerning.

These are the conversations that New Orleans, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, et al should be having but aren't. "Heck, file an insurance claim and we'll just rebuild". Or..."build the dikes higher and buy more pumps". That attitude isn't going to cut it.

could would maybe and should=fail

Hi sir I'm from Kenya I am a cinematographer I shoot many documentaries which is 15mins and13min and I didn't publish in the media do u need those documentaries and where can we communicate
I can help you with many things sir Thanks for reading my message

EXCELLENT! Hope there is a follow up!

Beautiful country

Super city, been there for a year and it's wonderful, even in the most crowded places. By the way, Bangkok is not the real name, it's the western name. It's more beautifully name and official name is Krungthep. And that's the short version of the official name, as the whole name is like the lyrics of a song.

Too many humans in this world

Climate change is not real. Climate always changes from the day God created the heavens and earth. It’s just that media have recorded all the flooding in the last century. The cities are built too close to water. Stop building homes closer to water, built them on higher ground. It is just pure logic.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLIMATE CHANGE OR SEA LEVEL RISE- LIES!!! FKN LIES!!!!!

Good 😊😁

FYI, the climate is being changed by intentional geoengineering, NOT normal human activity and cow farts. Look up at the lines in the sky and research weather modification technology, with over 700 patents now in use - the globalist elites are creating the change in order to fully control humanity.

Mumbai, Chennai. Cape of good hope, Newyork, Bangkok. may be hongkong are also at verge of getting submerges into seas

Dude be like, yo 'sup and all y'all. Yo, trippin'.

that country is super hot during the day . From my visit last month

Greetings from Thailand. Bangkok is also drowning from pollution as same as Chiang Mai where we are „waiting“ for the time of worst bad air created in the „burning season“. Great documentary 🎉.

LULA LADRÃO 😡
