The Typhoon Kajiki that caused flash floods killed eight people, including one person in Thailand and seven in Vietnam.
Vietnamese authorities warned of further flash floods and landslides.
The storm that hit Vietnam on Monday afternoon before weakening became depressed, causing widespread floods and landslides in Vietnam and Thailand.
Heavy rains caused floods and landslides in eight provinces in Thailand, impacting more than 180 households, Thailand's Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation said on Wednesday, August 27.
In Vietnam, Kajiki and the accompanying floods have damaged and inundated more than 10,000 houses and offices as well as more than 86 hectares of rice crops and commercial plants.
Typhoon Kajiki also knocked down power poles, resulting in power outages that directly affected 1.6 million people, mostly in the provinces of Ha Tinh and Nghe An.
The roads in Hanoi were also badly flooded, because heavy rains continued in the capital.

The national weather forecast agency said heavy rains would continue to hit northern provinces on Wednesday, with some areas likely to reach 70 millimeters in three to six hours.
"Bandang floods and landslides can occur, have a negative impact on the environment, threaten human lives ... and cause damage to production and socio-economic activities," the agency said.
Before hitting Vietnam, Kajiki passed the southern coast of Hainan, China, on Sunday, forcing the resort city of Sanya in the island province to close businesses and public transportation.
