Professional wakeskater and wakeboarder Daniel "Tao" Grant was charged with traffic violations after playing a wakeboard on a flooded section of a national highway in Pathum Thani last week.

Mr Grant’s action may have caused danger or damage to vehicles or persons or obstruct the traffic, Pol Lt Col Suchai Saengsong, deputy chief of Khlong Luang police station, said on Tuesday.

He confessed and apologised for the incident, Pol Lt Col Suchai said.

The 24-year-old British-Thai performed wakeboard tricks on flood-hit Phahonyothin Road near Bangkok University in tambon Khlong Nueng of Khlong Luang district, Pathum Thani province, around 6pm last Friday.

A 49-second video clip of the incident was posted on his Facebook account. Some of the stunts were performed when other vehicles were in a close proximity.
