Heavy rainfall has unleashed deadly floods across Southeast Asia, damaging crops and stranding tourists, with more downpours expected into early next week.

Flooding in southern Thailand has killed at least 13 people and swamped around 800,000 households and rubber- and palm oil-producing areas. In Peninsular Malaysia, more than 16,000 people have been displaced, while floods claimed 90 lives in Central Vietnam.
