Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia is a region of Asia made up of the Indochinese and Malay peninsulas and several nearby island groups. The region is bordered on the north by China and on the west by India. Southeast Asia includes the countries of Brunei, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Cambodia (Kâmpŭchéa), Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Using the links above, find information about the Southeast Asian country of your choice and then prepare a PowerPoint presentation so that you can share the information you find with your teacher and classmates.
