A Laotian relocated in Asian peninsula (8)

I believe the answer is:

anatolia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'asian peninsula' is the definition.
'anatolia' can be an answer for 'peninsula' (Anatolia is an example). I'm unsure of the 'asian' bit.

'a laotian relocated in' is the wordplay.
'relocated' indicates an anagram (letters get relocated).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'laotian' is an anagram of 'antolia'.
'a' placed within 'antolia' is 'ANATOLIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anatolia that I've seen before include "Asia Minor" , "Asian part of Turkey" , "Turkish area" , "Region of Turkey" , "Peninsula" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
