When I bought clothes in UK most of the size is 10, and Small, but when I bought clothes in Bali, Thailand and Singapore on my vacation...I always get Large size or even Xtra Large (not because I was gained weight!!!)...this is a bit frustrating! Or maybe most of Asians are smaller than Western/European girl? So they make the size range a bit different?!

Yes, asians tend to be smaller in size than westerners because they have smaller body frames. Even their overweight cut offs are lower than for westerners.
In the UK a size 10 is definitely on the slim side.

Most European countries have size standards that are larger than most Asian countries.
Most Asian countries go by the Japanese standard. Shoes, clothes, even hoisery are smaller. Most Europeans over a size 12 or 14 will not be able to find clothes in Asian countries (unless geared towards tourists).
Anything larger or outside the Japanese standard is called "gaijin."

Asian size range does tend to be a little different than in the UK or the US.

sizes are different everywhere based on what the average is among the people buy from that location most often. i wouldn't worry too much about it.
