It refers to Indochina (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (aka Burma), Thailand (former Siam), Vietnam, and West Malaysia) and the Malay states (Brunei, East Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore), but usually not including the Philippines or Timor-Leste; these neighbouring predominantly Malay states usually belong to the wider East Indies (which includes all of the above as well as the Indian subcontinent).
