Why is southeast asia a culturally diverse region?
For the very same reason the English language developed into different dialects in the US. People in New York call a car, a "Ka"; people in Texas might pronounce the word's "you all" as "Ya'll", people in Tennessee might say the same words as "Yu'n's." Climate (the environment) probably has a major role to play in developing human cultures. California has a Mediterranean climate, and people in CA say "Car" and "You all." People in France, Italy, and California are more relaxed and take life as it comes; all three regions have a Mediterranean atmosphere (climate). All three countries (state) are heavy in the Arts, Entertainment (Hollywood is based in CA), Beaches, Wines, Orchards, Foods, Sports, and just enjoying life. Conversely, all 3 nations (state) dislike war (and in the case of France & Italy, might not be to good at it...based upon history): Italy, was the ONLY major axis power to quit WW2 (they surrendered in 1943). The frozen cold countries of Japan and Germany went on to fight until 1945. The Mediterranean country of France, hasn't won a war since Napoleon! The Mediterranean state of California was headquarters of the Vietnam Anti-War movements (hippies). Atmosphere, the climate can create cultures: Good climate creates friendly people; bad climate creates cold (hard) people.

Mao Zedong Mao Zedong is revered publicly in China as a great leader, but there is widespread discrepency over the actual opinions amongst the Chinese. There is no reliable answer, as public polls under the Chinese state media always manipulate the data to be overwhelmingly favor of Mao Zedong, despite the presence of online polls and other surveys by the Chinese themselves that contradict it.
Here are facts highlighting the pros and cons of the former leader of China and his regime, but I encourage you to research the topic yourself for a more concrete answer.
Pros:
1. Unified China under the Han Chinese (traditional Chinese) after decades of foreign rule by Europeans and Imperial Japan. For many Chinese, the exploitation of their country was a huge source of ire, given their extensive history. He also ended the series of civil wars and domestric strifes that plagued the country
2. Despite the the deaths caused by his policies like the "Great Leap Forward" movement, life expectancy did increase during Mao Zedong's reign, and iron production increased over 30% from 1958-1960 (but it plummeted in 1961 and wouldn't rise back until 1964).
3. In terms of personality & relationships, Mao Zedong was known to have a magnetic personality and was moderate in his manner with regards to friends. He behaved like a peasant & believed himself to be one of the masses (he was not elitist)
4. Mao improved the status of women, and statistics reveal that his reign was marked with improved literacy as well as education for the poor.
Cons:
1. Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" movement led to the "S�nnián dà jīhu�ng", or the "Three Years of Great Chinese Famine" from 1959-1961. The Chinese government admits tht 15,000,000+ deaths occured from this, but scholarly estimates from China's own researchers & professors place the deaths at anywhere between 20,000,000~43,000,000. Liue Shaoqi, the president of China from 1959-1968, said that Great Leap Forward movement was "30% fault of nature, 70% human error". Needless losses were caused by a corrupt government that Mao Zedong statistically did little to reform.
2. His policies, especially the "Great Leap Forward" movement, destroyed the most real estate (houses & property) in HUMAN HISTORY, far exceeding the damage that all of WWII's bombing campaigns caused. This was done to create new farms in arable land. Even then, Chinese governement statistics in the 1980s shows that there was actually a 30% drop in crop production from 1958 to 1960, which also contributed to the famine.
3. Mao Zedong was also known to be willing be ruthless against his enemies and those that failed to meet his expectations. While this normally would be considered utilitarian, the fact that many of the failures by the peasantry & his subordinates were largely caused by Mao Zedong himself makes it seem unfair in retrospect. When the nation experienced food shortages due to his policies, Mao Zedong refused any form of foreign aid and even exported grain while allowing millions of his people to die in an attempt to hide China's instability in the eyes of the world.
In other words, opposition was always met with ruthless suppression and torture. No exceptions.
4. Modern China has largely rejected Mao's economic policies, and most of China's rise as an economic superpower was due to Deng Xiaoping's capitalistic reforms in the late 1970s, not those of Mao Zedong.
5. The "Culturual Revolution" under Mao Zedong led to destruction of many aspects of Chinese culture, including but not limited to: scholars, historical relics/monuments, art, poetry, and literature.
To summarize, Mao Zedong could be considered a monster seeing as how he did not care how many people died to achieve his goals, but he can also be considered a leader for firmly believing in his cause to be for the prosperity of the nation as a whole. He was a firm advocate of the notion "the ends justify the means". The main questions for most Chinese, however, is whether Mao Zedong did obtain tangible results, and whether the sacrifices made by the people for the state was worthwhile.

What's History of traditional Thai costumes?
They were brightly colored clothing normally made in silk. They only wear them to special occasions though. In everyday life they normally wear Western style clothing. Like many other parts of Southeast Asia, the Thai traditional costumes have variations in the various regions - North, Northeast, Central and South, but there are unifying elements like the use of an ankle-length wrap skirt called phasin by the women and the sabai or shoulder cloth that is worn with the blouse. The traditional shirt for men is the mohom, sometimes called farmer's shirt that is fitted to the waist by a rectangular checkerboard cloth called pakama in the Northeast. The shirt is paired with the sador or loose pants. More or less the same pattern of costumes can be seen among the peasants not only of Thailand, but also in Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
