At least 30 people have died in Thailand and Malaysia in the worst flooding the region has experienced in years. In Thailand, about 664,000 households were affected, and in Malaysia, 152,000 people have been evacuated.
The region experienced six months of rainfall in just five days from the northeast monsoon. The floods caused millions of dollars in damage to farmers, submerging rice fields and damaging roads, houses and public infrastructure.
