Myanmar and Thailand could not look more different today. Despite the two sharing a similar geography and region of the world, one has been modernizing and making economic gains while the other has slipped into full blown civil war. And this is interesting because, geographically, such contrasts are quite rare!

In today's video, we'll cover the physical geography that connects Myanmar and Thailand together, how their histories were similar and very different, and why Myanmar today is in a full blown civil war while Thailand, despite some recent issues, continues to be a pretty safe place to live and visit.
