  http://blog.360.yahoo.com/mrdautay – This is in Vietnamese (which I cannot read), is referenced a lot by the Vietnam blog scene and gets hundreds of comments, so I thought it might be of interest.

  ‘Screenshots’ or http://www.jeffooi.com/ is a fantastic site for Malaysian politics.. It is fair to say that Jeff has developed a huge political influence as a result of his commentary.

  The House of Lords http://ratchasima.net/ has really good articles on Burma, but I subscribed to it after seeing it referenced here..

  you might want to add to the SE Asia cultural section a website which averages about 50,000 hits per month with hundreds of expressionist style paintings of characters and hangouts from the Bangkok Night:

  Thanks for the tips you offered so far guys
  We are especially looking for under appreciated sites with topical discussion of issues relating Thailand, Laos , Cambodia and Myanmar exclusively.

  When it is working, the online database here:

  http://www.epress.nus.edu.sg/msl/

  contains English translations of all references to the predecessor polities of Thailand, Laos , Cambodia and B urma contained in the Ming imperial annals (14th-17th centuries)

  Topical? Depends on how much you consider history to be topical.

  Might be worth making a posterity copy if a database does not provide insurmountable difficulties in this respect.

  “Juth Pakai”, the UN’s Development Journal for Laos is available (all issues) on the website http://www.undplao.org/newsroom/juthpakai.php

  The journal is currently stalled due to government pressure but it is hoped that two more issues will be published soon.

  The Joel M. Halpern Laotian Slide collection may be a good addition to your archive. It contains 3,000-plus images of Laos in the 1950s and 1960s. Halpern, an anthropologist, donated the slides to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Library’s Special Collections department; the digitized images are part of the UW Center for Southeast Asian Studies/UW Libraries “SEAiT” (Southeast Asia Images and Texts) initiative. The web address is:

  Maps, 1:250,000 scale maps of Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, done by a friend now in Florida, Jim Henthorn. Note, the Lao and Thai maps have most of the “Lima site” and “Tango site” numbers indicated for the various airstrips and airports. These are from the 1973 & ‘74 Air Ameria “Air Facilities Data” for the countries.

  The maps are very handy as can click on a map to enlarge it so it’s actually easier to read than the original hard copy charts.

  Hi Andrew,

  I am not sure if you mean websites from individuals alone or if you would include those by organisations. I recommend the website of the Peranakan Association in particular. The community of acculturated Chinese living in Singapore, Penang and Malacca have a unique fusion of lifestyle combining Malay, Chinese, Indian and European elements.

  The Peranakan Association
  http://www.peranakan.org.sg
  Their newsletter is informative and has vivid photographs (right bar, pdf)

  I have been trying to tag useful websites on Singapore and Southeast Asia in the following
  http://del.icio.us/singaporestuff – many originate locally
  http://del.icio.us/bonnysoutheastasia – many originate in the US
  http://singaporestuff.blogspot.com

  Feel free to sieve through these
  Cheers Bons
