Indochina Peninsula |
|
Indochina Peninsula is the continental portion of Southeast Asia. It lies east of the Indian subcontinent and south of China and is bordered by the Indian Ocena to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east.
It includes the countries of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Cambodia
Cambodia is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. The capital and largest city is Phnom Penh, the political, economic and cultural center of Cambodia. And it became part of French Indochina in 1887 and gained its independence from French rule in 1953. Following the end of the French rule, the country was run by the monarchy, the dictator Pol Pot, Vietnam, and now its own constitution.
As a member of the association of Southeast Asian nations, Cambodia is one of the least developed countries in the world with a mainly agricultural economy and a weak industrial base. But now a major tourist center in Asia, Cambodia has opened its doors to foreign visitors and has started a boom in the tourist industry. With amazing sites such as Angkor and Siemreap, as well as the Mekong Delta, Cambodia is now a great place to visit, and is famous around the world for its stunning sunsets.
 Laos
Laos is one of the poorest nations in Southeast Asia. It is a socialist state and the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia at the heart of the Indochinese peninsula, bordered by Myanmar and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the southwest, and Thailand to the west and southwest. The capital and largest city is Vientiane. As landlocked country, it became part of French Indochina in 1893, and gained independence in 1953, after which it was embroiled in a war cue to the Communist uprising, which ended with the adoption of a Communist state in 1975. While Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia promote themselves as “amazing”, “bustling”, and “awe-inspiring”, Laos is often the country that is “forgotten”. However, this has been changing over the last several years, and tourism is now the biggest growth sector in the country, with the numbers of tourists constantly rising thanks to their latest tourism slogan, “Simply Beautiful".
 Malaysia Malaysia is a country in Southeast Asia. The federal constitutional monarchy consists of 13 states and three federal territories, separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions: Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. The capital is Kuala Lumpur and the federal government is in bucheng. Taking up the lower part of the Malay Peninsula, as well as the northern part of Borneo, Malaysia has been a nation since around 2,000BC, and moved into northern Borneo around 1,800BC, displacing the indigenous Dayak tribes to the south of the island. European colonies were first established in the 16th century and came under British Empire rule in the early 19th century.
 Myanmar Originally home to the ancient Mon and Burma kingdoms, Myanmar (Burma) was a province of British India from 1886 to 1937, and a Crown Colony from 1937 to 1948, when it gained its independence. During British rule, the capital was the city of Rangoon, now known as Yangon, which changed to Naypyidaw in 1989 when the name was changed to Myanmar. Now Myanmar is bordered by India and Bangladesh to its west, Thailand and Laos to its east and China to its north and northeast.
Myanmar is now finding its place in the world, and in the hearts of thousands of travelers every year, as it finally emerges from its ancient past. For many people, Myanmar remains a place of mystery and undiscovered treasures, kept in isolation and away from tourism. Now that the country is recovering from its decades of war and seclusion, globetrotters from all over the world are discovering the reality of the myths and legends of this golden land.
 Thailand Made up of what were originally several Thai kingdoms, Thailand was previously known as Siam, and the Siamese Kingdom ruled the nation from the 13th century until 1932. Thailand is bordered to the north by Myanmar and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Myanmar. And the capital and largest city is Bangkok. The then-King was forced to accept a constitution, and the name was changed to Thailand in 1939, with a brief reversion to Siam from 1946 to 1948. Sitting at the heart of the Indochinese Peninsular, Thailand has been through several coups from both democratic politicians and military junta over the last 50 years. Popularized by American military and expats who have moved to the country to live, Thailand has become a place of fun and frivolity. Popular with young backpackers for decades, Thailand is a place of tropical forests and a rural heartland, with centuries of culture and history, as well as the bustling metropolis of Bangkok, which tempts visitors in with promises of an “anything goes” lifestyle.
 Vietnam Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula. Vietnam is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, Thailand across the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia across the South China Sea to the east and southeast. The capital city has been Hanoi since the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1976 while Ho Chi Minh City is the most populous city.
Since the late 1990s, Vietnam has become a major tourist destination, which has been assisted by both state and private investment. The main cities have undergone major reconstruction since the late 1970s and are now some of the most modern cities in Southeast Asia.
