Abstract
Southeast Asia is a land of diversity and a realm of contrasts. It is one of the six realms of the Asian continent, the others being South Asia, the Middle-East (Southwest Asia), Siberia (a part of the former U.S.S.R.), Central Asia and the Far East. Southeast Asia is separated from the Australian continent by the Timor and Arafura seas. Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean lie to the west. The Bay of Bengal, Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean are situated toward the west and southwest.
