Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Thailand, which country is the most interesting?

If you choose only one, you will choose Cambodia. I went to see the pyramids and temples in Egypt and the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, and I felt that the beauty of Angkor Wat won my heart. Of all the historic sites I have been to, it is my favorite.

If you are not interested in these historic sites, choose Thailand, where tourism is developed, food is abundant, people are nice and snorkeling is great.

Laos, in my opinion, comes last.

If you are the kind of person who likes excitement and excitement, and a large group of young people are crazy, you can go to Laos, play tire rafting, drink and dive, explore caves and hike in the jungle with a group of foreigners in a playground built by local people along the river. They are all handsome young golden hairs, which are very eye-catching.

Myanmar is a branch of the ancient Western Qiang (White Wolf Qiang), which originated in Gansu and is of the same origin as Han and Tibetan. It arrived in Indochina Peninsula about 1000 years ago (about Tang Dynasty). Gradually internalized by the Mongols, the Mongols are closely related to the Khmer (ancient Cambodia). Laos, a close relative of Thailand, is a branch of the Dong-Tai-speaking people (Dong, Dai, Zhuang and Buyi all belong to the Dong-Tai language) who went south from Yunnan and Guangxi with the Thai people in the Song Dynasty. The language is actually the northeast dialect of Thai. Differences between Cantonese and Mandarin. After Dongtai went south, it absorbed a large number of Indian Pali words and replaced a large number of original Chinese loanwords. Today, except numerals, most of the advanced words in Lao and Thai originated from India.

Vietnam and Cambodia are the earliest inhabitants of Indochina Peninsula, which can be regarded as aborigines. These two peoples have the same ancestor. Vietnam was first developed by China, so the culture of Vietnam is deeply influenced by China. You won't feel too many cultural differences when you go to Vietnam now. After independence, it claimed to be China in Indochina Peninsula, called Zhanpo (also known as Zhancheng), which was later annexed by Vietnam. Now South Vietnam is deeply influenced by Khmer. After the country was destroyed, some adherents moved to Hainan, while others still lived as barbarians in Cambodia and Vietnam. It can be regarded as the little China of Indochina Peninsula. There are many complicated Chinese elements in Vietnamese. In addition to the Chinese-Vietnamese sounds imported from the Tang Dynasty, there are a large number of Chinese loanwords which are regarded as inherent words because of their early absorption, and the total number of Chinese loanwords can reach about 70% of Vietnamese. Cambodia, that is, Khmer, is of the same ancestry as Vietnam, except that China is the center of Vietnam and India is the center of Cambodia (there is also a mountaineer named Mang who is neither centered on China nor India).

Cambodia was founded by South Indians, and the first king was South Indians. It's just that India hasn't unified the whole subcontinent, so the relationship between Singapore and China is the main reason for founding a country abroad-it's not important. Deeply influenced by India, the Khmer Rouge once ruled the Indo-China Peninsula and established the Khmer Empire, occupying almost the entire peninsula except North Vietnam. Today, Angkor Wat is its home. Later, it was defeated by the Dongtai people (Siam) who went south, and the compensation for ceding land was never recovered (in fact, the main reasons seem to be that the water conservancy project was in disrepair, the tropical red soil did not keep water, the empire was seriously short of water, and urban agriculture collapsed ... but losing is losing ~). Here, I want to mention the Meng nationality who assimilated the Burmese nationality. He and the Khmer are of the same clan, and the differentiation time is not long. At that time, he was also the father of India, but the South Indians worshipped by Khmer and the North Indians worshipped by Meng were different, and their characters could be reflected (South India painted small circles and North India painted big circles). However, since they are all Indians, they naturally learned to wipe their hands and grab curry and taste delicious ... good ... modern western colonization, British occupation of Myanmar; France occupied Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, making Vietnam a big country. Once, Cambodians and Laos were Vietnamese and took Vietnamese names. After the western colonists left, Vietnam tried to annex Cambodia and Laos like India, but failed. Up to now, Vietnam still occupies part of Cambodia's territory, and both countries have bad feelings towards Vietnam. Vietnam is more like a branch of Chinese food in diet. Other countries are deeply influenced by Indians, but they are also influenced by China people. However, the basic dishes are still sour in Zhuang, Dong, Miao and Yao styles. The dishes cooked by the third brother are basically not sour, but you can eat them in winter. They are sour and refreshing. In fact, I always thought that the taste of ancient Yue was sour and bitter. Look at these places now, sour soup, sour water, herbal tea, camellia oleifera, houttuynia cordata ... Uncle Qu Yuan, a Chu poet who has just been localized in China, once praised his country with excitement. The food of Wu State, which also belongs to Yue family, is "sour and bitter": "Great bitterness is salty and sour, sweet and sweet, sweet but not greasy). ...

Khmer (Cambodia) is like ancient Greece, and Siam (Thailand) is like ancient Rome. Rome destroyed Greece, but the culture was completely strangled. This is how Khmer culture influenced Thailand and Laos. So Cambodian food, Thai food and Lao food are very similar, and after the Khmer in Thailand, it was exported to Cambodia in the opposite direction because it was better than the Khmer. Myanmar doesn't understand. I always think that the habit of liking acid is dyed after going south. I guess. In writing, Vietnamese uses Chinese characters, which once created the popular word "Zi Nan", but failed to replace the status of Chinese characters. After colonization, the French Latin alphabet was used, which was exactly the same as Pinyin. Cambodian alphabet was learned from South India, and later from Laos and Thailand. Thai is the Lao language with relatively straight strokes, and Lao is the former Thai language. Thai has been changed to facilitate writing. Burmese is also from second-hand India, and the second is the hand of the Meng people. Know nothing about architecture. I only know that Viet Nam is a Lingnan-style building in China. The temples and palaces in Cambodia are all Indian (unlike the Taj Mahal! ), residential buildings seem to be dry fence buildings. There are many Indian styles in Thailand, and it seems that there are also big roofs and traditional stilts influenced by China. Myanmar doesn't understand, but it looks like India. To sum up, Indochina Peninsula can be divided into three parts: Myanmar+Cambodia, Thailand, Laos+Vietnam. Viet Nam and Cambodia are indigenous, separated by a mountain, and people are different ... I mean, China and India have different roads. Viet Nam is little China, and Cambodia is Little India. Myanmar came from Gansu through the snow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. My ancestors sang it, too. My family lives in the loess plateau, and I went to the south to sing in the northeast. Laos is a poor relative in the northeast of Thailand. Thailand fought against Cambodia from Yunnan to Guizhou, but it was countered by culture. The enlightenment of Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia in the later period of Zhanpo is the light of Indian zhina civilization!
