Asian refers to people, places, and things from the Asian Continent, from Turkey to the Middle East, India, China, Mongolia, parts of Russia such as Siberia, and the south-east Asian countries such as Burma, Cambodia, Korea, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Oriental refers to people, places, and things to the East of the Asian Continent, such as Japan, the Philipines, and Indonesian islands. Racially one can easily distinguish the people by their slanted eyes, that is not common in the south-east Asian countries, e.g. in Thailand or in Indonesia.

Oriental is pertaining to, or characteristic of the Orient, or East; Eastern.
