Here are the main works I have in my files on ideophones/expressives of
Southeast Asia:

~700 items: Crisfield, Arthur G. 1978. Sound symbolism and the expressive
words of Lao. PhD Dissertation. University of Hawaii.
~1000 items: Boontiam, Kotchakorn. 1991. Expressives in Northern Khmer. MA
Thesis. Mahidol University.
~400 items: Ninlapan, Prapai. 1993. Expressives in Pattani Malay. MA
thesis. Mahidol University
~100 items: Collins, James T. 1979. Expressives in Kedah Malay. In
South-east Asian Linguistic Studies Vol. 4, pp.379-406.

Feel free to contact me off-list if you need pdfs for any of these.

Best,
Rikker
