Liverpool began their 2015-16 preseason schedule with a 4-0 win over a Thailand Allstar XI in Bangkok on Tuesday.
Lazar Markovic and Mamadou Sakho put the Reds 2-0 at half-time, before Brendan Rodgers made 11 substitutes at the interval.
The second half saw the heavens open, making conditions very hard to manage.
Nevertheless, Liverpool were able to add to their tally courtesy of strikes from Adam Lallana and Divock Origi.

It took the Reds less than three minutes to break the deadlock at Rajamangala National Stadium, as Joao Carlos Teixeira played in Markovic, who rounded the goalkeeper with real style.
Danny Ings then had a goal harshly disallowed, for an alleged foul by Sakho on the Thai goalkeeper.
However, Liverpool were not to be denied a second before the break. Sakho doubled their lead on 42 minutes with a very accurate header, thanks to another Teixeira assist.
Liverpool’s third, which came seven minutes into the second half, was the best of the lot. New captain Jordan Henderson set up Lallana with an outrageous rabona pass, and the former Southampton man finished clinically.
Origi was involved in most of the play in the second 45, but his finishing continued to let him down.
However, the big Belgian finally found his scoring touch in the dying seconds of the game.
