First objective is to identify the  factors affecting attractiveness of Indochina countries for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).  Those countries are Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao  PDR) and Kingdom of Cambodia. The second objective is to rank the attractiveness of the  selected countries for FDI. Finally, an overview on the present investment climate in those  countries is provided to support the decision making.  In this study, an analytical model for decision making of FDI is developed. Relevant  and important FDI factors, from the economic aspects, social viewpoints and political  environments, are taken into consideration. Thus, the questionnaires are designed for taking  judgment data from respondents. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach is  applied.
