Southeast Asia was home for much of my childhood, but I moved to Hawaii when I was in high school.

I was born in Bangkok in 1968 and grew up in Southeast Asia with my Thai mom and my American father, who first came to the region to fight in Vietnam and stayed to work assisting refugees.

Perhaps the strongest signal of reengagement with Southeast Asia was the U.S.'s accession to the Southeast Asian Treaty of Amity and Cooperation.

Traveloka is the clear online travel leader in Indonesia and is expanding aggressively throughout Southeast Asia.

Now a cholera epidemic was sweeping through Southeast Asia and south Asia in the early 1970s, so I started medical school and I joined a laboratory to work on this.

In the end, we lost IndoChina to the communists. But we did not lose Southeast Asia.
