good books on history of Vitnam/Thailand

Hi there, I'm searching for a present for my boyfriend, an absolute history nut. I want to get him an interesting book on either Viatman, Thailand, Laos or Australia. Any ideas?

With regards to Australian colonial history, I would recommend 'Twelve Australian Battles'; not sure who the author/editor is but I used it for a course on Australian history and it really opened my eyes to the treatment of the natives by the incomers.

A fatal shore - did it in college, very interesting, expecially in regard to British reasoning about starting a colony in New south Wales
