As the new list of Scopus-indexed journals are out now, I made a non-exhaustive list of Scopus-indexed journals based in or published by institutions in Southeast Asia that have no article processing charges/publication fees. I have not included Indonesian and Singaporean journals yet as they have so many journals to explore.
