Thailand is underwater - and the flooding is nowhere near drying up.

Children soaked from head to toe trudge through floodwaters seeking dry ground.

Buffalo are swimming.

The country has declared a disaster zone in eight of its southern provinces... after heavy flooding kills at least 13 people, with thousands displaced.

But the flooding didn't only hit Thailand.

Malaysia has been hit by the worst monsoon in decades.

Local media reports that tens of thousands have been evacuated.

Extremely high floodwaters make it difficult for rescuers to reach victims with food and supplies.

And the floodwaters dampen an already difficult time, with the country already marking the 10th anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami.
