Flood destroyed car in Thailand. If I change this sentence into passive.
Cars in Thailand were destroyed by flood.
Cars were destroyed in Thailand by flood.
Which one is suitable? I prefer the first as I think the flood was in Thailand and noun phrase '' the cars in Thailand '' is suitable for this sense.
Since Thailand needs to be mentioned, this sounds like a news bulletin. In this case I would start with the country where the flood occurred.
In Thailand, cars were destroyed by a flood.
I also added the indefinite article "a".
