Parts of Thailand are battling record floods, which have killed at least 33 people and prompted authorities to deploy military ships and helicopters to support relief efforts. The city of Hat Yai, a business hub bordering Malaysia, recorded 335mm of rainfall in a single day. A volunteer rescue group, the Matchima Rescue Center, told Reuters news agency it had been inundated with thousands of calls in the last three days, with people asking to be evacuated. Relentless rain has also impacted neighbouring countries - in Vietnam, the death toll has risen to 98 in a week, while in Malaysia, more than 19,000 people have been forced from their homes.
