A Thai villager is pictured standing in a devastated area and a worker is seen tending to a crocodile after it escaped from Nakhon Si Thammarat zoo following heavy downpours and landslides.

Over the last two weeks 45 people have been killed by the rains in southern Thailand.

The government disaster agency said more than 40,000 people are living in shelters in three provinces that remain flooded.

The agency added yesterday that electricity was slowly being restored in the hardest-hit province of Nakhon Si Thammarat.
