Cambodia–Vietnam Border
The Cambodia–Vietnam border is the international border between the territory of Cambodia and Vietnam. The border is 1,158 km (720 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with Laos in the north to Gulf of Thailand in the south. Description The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Laos and then proceeds overland to the south, occasionally utilising rivers such as the Tonlé San. It then turns in a broad arc to the south-west, except for the Cambodian protrusion known as the Parrot's Beak, running mostly overland but also at times using rivers such as the Vàm Cỏ Đông and the Saigon. After cutting across the Mekong delta it continues southwestwards, terminating at the Gulf of Thailand just west of Hà Tiên. The maritime boundary forms a loop, so Phú Quốc island belongs to Vietnam despite it being closer to the Cambodia shore. History Vietnamese people gradually migrated from northern Vietnam southwards during the 10th - 18th centuries, eventually bringi ...

China–Vietnam Border
The China–Vietnam border is the international boundary between China and Vietnam, consisting of a 1,297 km (806 mi) terrestrial border stretching from the tripoint with Laos in the west to the Gulf of Tonkin coast in the east, and a maritime border in the Gulf of Tonkin and South China Sea. While disputes over the terrestrial border have been settled with the signing of a land boundary treaty between the two countries, the maritime border is currently undefined due to disputes over the ownership of territorial waters and islands, including the Spratly and Paracel Islands. Description The terrestrial border begins in the west at the China-Laos-Vietnam tripoint at the Shiceng Dashan peak. It then proceeds overland in a broadly eastwards direction, albeit in a highly irregular zig-zag pattern, predominantly through isolated mountainous areas inhabited by ethnic minorities. In places, rivers are utilised for short sections, such as the Lixian River, Red River, Nanxi ...

Laos–Vietnam Border
The Laos–Vietnam border is the international border between the territory of Laos and Vietnam. The border is 2,161 km (1,343 m) in length and runs from the tripoint with China in the north to tripoint with Cambodia in the south. Description The border starts in the north at the tripoint with China and proceeds overland in a south-eastwards direction. It then turns to the west, briefly utilising the Nam Sam River, before turning sharply south-eastwards and following the Annamite Mountains and, for a period, the Sepon River, terminating at the Cambodian tripoint. History Historically the Annamite Range formed a natural boundary between Vietnamese kingdoms in the east and Lao, Thai and Khmer kingdoms in the west. From the 1860s France began establishing a presence in the region, initially in modern Cambodia and Vietnam, and the colony of French Indochina was created in 1887. Laos was at this point part of the Rattanakosin Kingdom (1782–1932), Kingdom of Siam (the old name ...

Indonesia–Vietnam Border
The border between Indonesia and Vietnam is a maritime border located in the South China Sea to the north of Indonesia's Natuna Islands. The two countries signed an agreement to determine their continental shelf boundary on 26 June 2003 in Hanoi, Vietnam. Although located near, the border is not located in the Spratly Islands area and Indonesia does not have any claims over the islands. The border The Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam concerning the delimitation Boundary delimitation (or simply delimitation) is the drawing of boundaries, particularly of electoral precincts, states, counties or other municipalities.

Malaysia–Vietnam Border
Malaysia and Vietnam are two Southeast Asian countries with maritime boundaries which meet in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea. The two countries have overlapping claims over the continental shelf in the Gulf of Thailand. Both countries have, however, come to an agreement to jointly exploit the natural resources in the disputed area pending resolution of the dispute over sovereignty. In the South China Sea, Malaysia and Vietnam are involved in the multi-national claims over some of the Spratly Islands and adjacent waters. The border and disputes Gulf of Thailand Both Malaysia and Vietnam have overlapping claims over the seabed in the Gulf of Thailand. There is currently no boundary agreement between the two countries. The continental shelf claim limit of the two countries do not coincide because of the different maritime baselines each country uses to calculate the equidistant line. This has resulted in an area of overlapping claims. The Vietnamese continental shelf limi ...

Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone
The Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone was a demilitarized zone established as a dividing line between North and South Vietnam from July 1954 to 1976 as a result of the First Indochina War. During the Vietnam War (1955-1975) it became important as the battleground demarcation separating North from South Vietnamese territories. The zone ceased to exist with the reunification of Vietnam on July 2, 1976, though the area remains dangerous due to the numerous undetonated explosives it contains. Geography The border between North and South Vietnam was in length and ran from east to west near the middle of present-day Vietnam within Quảng Trị Province. Beginning in the west at the tripoint with Laos, it ran east in a straight line until reaching the village of Bo Ho Su on the Bến Hải River. The line then followed this river as it flowed in a broadly northeastwards direction out to the Gulf of Tonkin. Either side of the line was a Demilitarized Zone, forming a buffer of about i ...
