Southeast Asia is a subregion of the Asian continent. The classification generally includes the countries south of China, east of India, and north of Australia. Specifically: Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Southeast Asia consists of two main areas: the mainland connected to the Asian continent's main land mass (for example, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos). And a maritime region of islands (for example, much of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, and East Timor).
The largest city in Southeast Asia is Jakarta, with a population of 8,699,600 and a metropolitan area of more than 23 million people. Close behind is Manila, Philippines, and Bangkok, Thailand.
Here are a couple of physical maps of Southeast Asia for you. The first is the best one I could find online. The second lacks some detail, but clearly shows major rivers and mountain peaks.
