U.S. President Barack Obama returned to the White House early Wednesday (November 21) morning after a three-country journey to Asia.

Less than two weeks after his re-election, Obama visited Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia.

Obama became the first serving U.S. president to visit Myanmar on Monday (November 18), trying during a whirlwind six-hour trip to strike a balance between praising the government's progress in shaking off military rule and pressing for more reform.
