Vietnam had lot of Tamilians in the past. Karaikudi Chettiar community migrated to vietnam for trading purposes.

One of my own friend who has migrated from Vietnam after the war broke out got compensation from Vietnam government after the civilian government took over.

Cambodia has a huge ancient Hindu temple.

renu,

since vietnam was french ruled, there was also a large contingent of french tamils from pondicherry living there.

these folks all moved back to pondy, or to france after 1954 when vietnam got independence. i had a couple of them as my class mates in madras in my school. they lived in madras but with french passports.
