Burma / Myanmar: Birmanen-Reich mit Anam, Siam & Cochin China ('Burma with Annam, Siam and Cochinchina'), Germany, c. 1836

A German map of mainland Southeast Asia showing Assam, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and part of Sumatra.

The Tanintharyi or Tenasserim region of southern Myanmar is shown as under Siamese (Thai) administration, while the former Lan Na Kingdom, with Chiang Mai ('Janzalayen') as its main city, is shown as tributary to Myanmar / Burma. Both are incorrect, as Tanintharyi passed under British control in 1826, while Lan Na (Chiang Mai) asserted its independence from Burma in 1775.
