The man stands at the edge of a rooftop pool in a skyscraper when the earthquake suddenly strikes. The building begins to shake, and the pool transforms into a raging body of water. Large waves crash over the sides as he struggles to stay on his feet, trying not to be swept away.

His partner is in shock, fearing that the waves might throw him off the rooftop pool. The air fills with the roar of water and the eerie rumbling of the earthquake shaking the entire city. In the background, Bangkok’s skyline sways slightly, creating a scene reminiscent of a disaster movie.

“One moment, you’re living the best moments of your life, and the next, you’re stuck at the top of a skyscraper during an earthquake,” the woman captioned the video.
