BANGKOK — Flecked with sewage, a Thai prisoner grapples with an overflowing bucket as he and his fellow inmates clean Bangkok's congested drains for the first time in two years.

Pre-pandemic, convicts could volunteer to clear the sewers of Thailand's capital — which sits only 1.5 metres above sea level and is perennially beset by flooding — earning time off their sentences.

He is one of roughly 80 inmates shipped in from three prisons to an eastern Bangkok suburb and set to labour, earning money and a day off their sentences for each day worked. They work through the day, fuelled by donations from grateful shopkeepers pleased to see the drains outside their stores finally cleared.
