Before talking about monsoon in south-east Asia, we should be familiar with phenomena of Monsoon. generally saying that it is the derived from the word "mausim"  means "season".it is the system of wind, but defined by the seasonal reversal of the direction of wind.
Here is the image of Typical Monsoon season.

In understanding of the monsoon seasons, having a basic understanding of the wind circulations and pattern gives a really good explanation of formation of the clouds so that it is easy to predict rain.
attached video gives a insight of it.

Now we have the basic understanding of the Monsoon. so now we look at the monsoons in southeast Asia, this is place where there is a whole season for the rain.
because of its geographical location map and also of its tropical location.

2) Not only the  differential heating of the land but also the Inter Tropical Convergence zone, which lays at the equator. This
ITCZ moves moves up in the northern hemisphere because of sun's vertical displacement. which moves over the Ganga plains creating monsoon trough.

This video presentation gives some information about south-east Asia monsoon and also the effects at near the inter tropical convergence one as well.

In south east Asia there are two main seasons:
1)Summer Monsoon
2)Winter Monsoon.
They are defined by the direction of the wind which is depended on to sun's vertical position over latitudes.
The main difference between both these monsoon is there is comparatively more (heavy) rain in summer than winter monsoon

Winter monsoon lasts from October to April. it blows winds from north east. but Himalayan Mountain (Orographic Barrier) prevent much of the cold air reaching to the coast, which keeps most of the southern part warm all year. but it does bring rain in eastern pacific coast of southeast, because it brings moist air from south china sea. it is the raining season in palaces like Indonesia and Malaysia.

summer monsoon starts between April and September. it bring heavy rain fall. as we talked earlier warm and moist air from southwest Indian ocean blows toward countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

To get better understanding of rain, we should look at the process how the rain clouds are created and other contributing factors.
1) Differential Heating
2) Inter Tropical Convergence Zone
3)Orographic Barrier

# data[].attributes.body
Here we look at how rain clouds are created.
the first one is the unequal heating of the land and sea. As we know  that land heats up faster than sea. which also because of having relatively different heat capacity, which  creates lower pressure on land than of the sea. lower pressure which brings moist winds from the sea to the land. also known as "see breeze".
Low pressure creates convergent flow at surface which in turn helps see breeze to drawn to land.

sequence of process resulting in precipitation.

# data[].attributes.body
orographic conditions is the determining factor how often  that place will get the rain. particular to India, the Himalayan Mountains and Western Ghat are the Orographic barriers which makes the moist warm air /wind to rise and cooling at dry adiabatic rate. after lifting condensation level it starts cooling at moist adiabatic rate and finally results in rain.

In the begging we start from the getting familiar with what is the monsoon and occurrence of monsoon due to change in wind patterns and circulation.
Moving along, there is some information about our topic of South-East Asia monsoon: also the types of different monsoon seasons according to their geographical locations.
Further ahead, there are some factors influencing the Rain and how it affects the precipitation, which plays major role in whole precipitation cycle from the circulations of winds and formation of clouds and finally to precipitate.
Thank you.
