Transcript: How many countries are there in Southeast Asia? Well, there are 11 of them! We've got Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar (which used to be called Burma), Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, East Timor, and Brunei Darussalam.
Southeast Asia is home to approximately 675 million people, which makes up about 8.5% of the world's population.

Indonesia holds the title of being the largest and most populated country in Southeast Asia.
On the flip side, Brunei Darussalam is the smallest in terms of population. It's also the only absolute monarchy in the region.
As for East Timor, it's the newest addition to the Southeast Asian family, the region had been a Portuguese colony up until 1975 and was under Indonesian sovereignty from 1976 to 1999, and unfortunately, it's also not so well economically.
