Cambodia, believe it or not, is further away than Vietnam! (and outside the Top 20). Check a map and you'll see that's true.

Why on earth do you channel the energy you could spend learning to spell Kyrgyzstan correctly instead on asking to get a point for spelling it wrongly?

The only problem with typing those cities for me is that I end up pressing random keys. I can type them fairly well, but it takes me some time to correct.

It's common in Madagascar to call it "Tana." That would be a useful type-in, and I don't think it fits any other answers on most quizzes that would give anyone anything free.

It's ~455 km from Narcondam Island to Thailand. Also, a little experimenting with a distance calculator got me a distance of 689 km from Vijoynagar, India to Laos.

Some of these countries are listed as further away than they actually are. Thailand for example is 282 miles away from India's Narcondam Island. Indonesia's Rondo Island, as well as Malaysia's Perak Island are 98 miles and 354 miles away from India's Great Nicobar Island respectively. And Laos's Northern most border is 427 miles away from India's eastern border.
