Andaman Sea
The Andaman Sea ((ベンガル語:আন্দামান সাগর); (ヒンディー語:अंडमान सागर)) is a body of water to the southeast of the Bay of Bengal, south of Myanmar (Burma), west of Thailand, north-west of Malay Peninsula, north of Sumatra and east of the Andaman Islands, India, from which it takes its name; it is part of the Indian Ocean.
The sea has been traditionally used for fishery and transportation of goods between the coastal countries and its coral reefs and islands are popular tourist destinations. The fishery and tourist infrastructure was severely damaged by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

At its southeastern reaches, the Andaman Sea narrows to form the Straits of Malacca, which separate the Malay Peninsula from the island of Sumatra.
The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of the "Andaman Sea" as follows:
''On the Southwest.'' A line running from Oedjong Raja () in Sumatra to Poeloe Bras (Breuëh) and on through the Western Islands of the Nicobar Group to Sandy Point in Little Andaman Island, in such a way that all the narrow waters appertain to the Andaman Sea.
''On the Northwest.'' The Eastern limit of the Bay of Bengal (line running from Cape Negrais (16°03'N) in Myanmar through the larger islands of the Andaman group, in such a way that all the narrow waters between the islands lie to the Eastward of the line and are excluded from the Bay of Bengal, as far as a point in Little Andaman Island ).
''On the Southeast.'' A line joining Lem Voalan (7°47'N) in Siam (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/Thailand" TITLE="Thailand">Thailand ), and Pedropunt (5°40'N) in Sumatra.
