Eastern domain – Thai place, perhaps (9)

I believe the answer is:

caliphate

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

'eastern domain aeur' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'thai place perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'thai'+'place'='thaiplace'
'thaiplace' is an anagram of 'CALIPHATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caliphate that I've seen before include "Type of government" , "religious office" .)
