Yeah i noticed the same thing. 

They don't want to go back. 

The poorer folks don't go back because there's no opportunity for them back home. 

The richer folks are too busy shopping/spending money and partying overseas.

That's because Laos is a shiet hole, full of idiots. Who would want to go back to some place like that?

It's like an ammish person seeing what life truly is and never going back.

Only the Lao who live off the foreign aid corruption like the gov't families want to stay cause they get rich and say how good Laos is.

But the rest can go fack themselves cause they get shiet on.

Watch all the haters come and deny it. Why do people defend such a shiety country for? They come on here and say how good Laos is when it's the ****tiest place on earth.

 Someone is bitter still about having to run away back in the 70's.  I don't know what the hell you are knocking Laos for but the way a lot of Lao people live today is the same way your parents and grandparents were living and they had it worse then it is now.

Look yes we get it the government is corrupt. I won't even deny it. All governments are corrupt. Go to all the said democracies around the world and corruption is still there. The only nations that are 1st world are nations that preyed upon others. All the imperialist nations are still first world because they basically took over whatever they wanted from others and used it. USA and Europe are the 1st world. It would be totally different if Laos was imperialist like America and invaded whoever they wanted and took the resources.  I am a socialist and hate to see the corruption of Lao PDR but I have to wait and see how it will be in the future. I want our socialist system to flourish and not stagnate like it is starting to.

It didn't help Laos either that basically the country was stagnant when France was in charge and pampering the royal family for all those years. Vietnamese held most political positions and were the most enrolled in schools. There was no middle class, but now in Laos there is. People without government connections are making money enough to have very high standards of life. The same couldn't be said  during your parents time.

Just travel around Thailand a bit and you see people from Laos working all over Thailand.  Some work office jobs, in hotels, factories and a lot are whoring.  I've seen Lao women from Laos well into their 40's whoring, so it's not just the younger women.  Every province in Thailand has Lao whores.  A lot of these girls seem to enjoy this type of work because they're lazy.  It's sad but it's reality.  Lao factory/hotel/office workers a lot of times are put down by their Thai coworkers but there isn't much they can do because they can't go back home and make next to nothing.

Right... Still on the "Viets control everything" thought right? Isn't that getting kind of old. The Viets even controlled when the king allowed Laos to be bombed for 7 years. Oh wait no that wasn't the Viets .

On trips to Vietnam, Khamtai Siphandon used to give speeches in Vietnamese the same way Hun Sen does.

 WOW really? I had no idea. I am also pretty sure when delegates go to ASEAN meetings they at least try to speak in ENGLISH right? Because it is the official working language of the association. Why do you people care so much about Vietnam? You are so afraid of the Vietnamese and its been 30+ years after the war. Again believe it or not if Vietnam wanted to just capture the whole Lao country they could with ease.... I am not a fan of the Vietnamese (I am pro China) but its not like they are some kind of secret shadow society ruling over Laos.  You should be sad that your country is controlled by a top 1% who make rules and regulations solely for their benefit.

PS If you want to keep the same logic, I guess when the Royals of Lao spoke French when addressing their French masters, that made them the same as Lao who speak Vietnamese in Vietnam?

Laos belongs to all people of Lao ancestry, not just greedy Lao officials.

 

Lao Nok/Lao Nai are all related.  It's the same people.  It's only the small percentage of Lao officials that have tried to create a divide between the two and have failed.  People still love their families.

 

Even Chounmaly Sayasone has A LOT of Lao Nok relatives.  Khamtai Siphandon treats his Lao Nok relatives like gold every time they visit.  All the bull**** they used to talk about Lao Nok in the past means NOTHING to them.

 

Bounyang Vorachit's granddaughter just married a farang bum.  She went to live overseas and met him there.  The Vorachit's paid for the whole wedding.  It's popular among rich Lao women to marry farang because it's exotic to them.  Usually any farang will do, even the poor ones, because the women take care of them anyways.  I've seen rich Lao women pay their own dowry when marrying farangs just to show "face" to the other rich Lao families.  Sucks how Lao men would have to pay high dowry for these women but some of the farangs get them for free. 

 

A lot of Lao Nok are up to date with all the happenings in Laos because they have relatives in Laos and also visit yearly.

---

  aww don't cry lao women have been taken. They even marry gangster African Americans too in America and Lao Americans even like to act like them. What is the point of your racist attitude?  Nobody was talking about Lao people marrying other races

And so what? They love their family regardless their political background. Surely the same in America as well right? I think that is anywhere around the world.... Again what is your argument? When I say I dislike imperialists and those who supported imperialists I mean the ones involved in political and military movements.

Yeah right, read your own post dodo.  You stay dissing all Lao Nok.

 

You're a Lao Nok yourself but you pretend to live in Laos.  Other posters have posted many things about Laos and you have no idea what they're talking about. 

---

No one is crying over Lao women.  A lot of unmarried Lao women are working as whores in Thailand anyway.  I didn't make them go.  There not a lot job opportunities in Laos.  The Lao PDR actually encourages them to go.

Lao women can marry who they want including blacks.  That's not the point.  I was just making a point of how hypocritical people like Bounyang Vorachit is.  They love to talk crap about Chakkaput etc but his own granddaughter is married to a so called Chakkaput.

Those men with less than a 5th grade education don't mean anything they say.  They don't care about that bull**** they used to say in the 80's.  They know Lao Nok would get in the way of them fattening up their pockets.  If you don't think that's their main motivation then you're just insulting your own intelligence.

Aren't you the same guy that said Lao youth don't like Korean pop culture and Lao people don't like Thai entertainment.  Anyone who spends time in Laos, which i would think is most people in this board, would think differently.  You say a lot of stuff that contradicts your claims of living in Laos.

Who cares where you live.  You know very little about he current happenings in Laos.  If you do live in Laos you probably stay inside all day and read books from the 60's. 

You talk **** about the other places but Lao PDR officials' families LOVE traveling and living in the west.  That's them.  Why do you think the original topic poster asked the question he did?

One of the favorite school for Lao rich kids in RBAC in BKK which is pretty expensive.  One farang professor their said a rich Lao girl gave him "the clap".  That's what he gets for not knowing how to use protection.

A Lao RBAC student was just on the news recently for running over a Thai girl with his Porsche.  He took off but they caught him.  He was high on Yaba and drunk.

---

 No sources... this is how Lao norks have fun by making up stories about Lao PDR to justify their ancestors siding with Amerikkka. First of all the porsche driver was a rich Siam idiot... Do you actually read or you just make up things?  Kambai Inthilat, Lao citizen, was the girl killed by Peerapol Thaksinthaweesap obviously Thai trash.

Again no sources for your other gossip either. Please post sources or don't open your mouth when you try to denegrade others. But I know you are used to that kind of garbage talk because America is full of it.

That's a different incident.  It happened a while back.  That was a smaller Porsche.

In the other incident he Lao driver went to RBAC and he drove a SUV.  Was on Thai news a month ago.

You don't watch the Thai news so you wouldn't know.  You dislike all things Thai remember.

---

 links or it didn't happen. I can say anything happened a couple months ago.

No one cares.

Lao people have been in the Thai news a lot in the past couple of years.  You here about Lao people doing stuff in Thailand at least twice a week.

Lao people of every social class live/work/visit in Thailand everyday.

There was a Lao guy in Phathum Thani that stabbed a Thai women over an argument over a borrowed pot. 

Lao prostitutes are on the news weekly.  Same with the Yaba people.

Rich Lao kids are rarely on the news but that particular kid was out clubbing on a Fri/Saturday night and ran over a girl.  They even mentioned his school RBAC.  It was small story and not as widely reported as the prior incident where the Lao girl got sliced in two.

Lao people are on the Thai news almost daily nowadays.  It used to be once in a long time but times have changed.

RBAC is an English language University.  That's why a lot of Lao students go there.  It's quite expensive even to the Thais. 

Lao Students like to start off at Chula, Thammasat, Bangkok U but then end up going to places like Ramkhamhaeng.

This has been going on since at least the mid 90's.  I remember a few Lao PDR students studying in Bangkok at that time.  Now they're all over Bangkok.

No ones reading your post buddy.  Move on.

Wow you sure do like to post about Lao Noks.  You're either a Lao Nok yourself or a Lao Nok that went back to live in Laos because you post **** about Lao Noks but don't know **** about current stuff in Laos.

I'm not even gonna read your bull**** novels.

If you want to talk about gangs, every immigrant group from the irish, germans, french had gangs for decades.  Every immigrant group goes through that faze.  Laos aren't even immigrants.  They're refugees, they didn't want to leave Laos in the first place.  If you want to talk about Asian gangs Vietnamese have the most and are the majority of Asian inmates in the system.  Again, Vietnamese are more numerous than Laos or Khmers.  Vietnamese live in large ethnic enclaves and rely on their communities.  Lao have no large enclaves like the Viets.  Lao are thinly spread out.  Many Lao grew up in Hispanic neighborhoods and you know how prevalent gangs are in their neighborhoods.

It's what's called success in numbers.  There are successful Lao and some of them grew up gang banging. So what? People don't gang bang their whole life.  It's a youth thing. 

You should know.  You've lived here.

I don't think this dummy knows that the majority of Lao refugees were farmers.  Of course they're not going to have diplomas and degrees.  He needs to get his head out of his ass.  In his mind, they were all rich french educated Lao businessmen.  He needs to get real.  The gang culture is not even big in the Lao communities anymore.  That stuff was popular in the late 80's-early 90's and only small Lao gangs remained that were mostly inactive. Late 80's-early 90's were wild times in general for youth that grew up in the inner city.

Like i said most Lao refugees were farmers.  The east Asians and Filipinos are successful because their immigration policies are strict and mostly the well off educated classes get to immigrate to the west.  Look at the Filipinos, some of them go to the west with 2-3 degrees and a lot of them go through bull**** nursing programs back home.  Plus they learn English at an early age which helps with job finding.  Koreans immigrate go to the US with on average $300and even they have degrees. They sell all their cars, homes, land before they move. Many of them are well educated but can't speak English, so they set up dry cleaning business and liquor stores while they send their kids to top schools. 

Most Hmongs didn't even go to school in Laos because they were isolated in the mountains.  Now you have a lot of successful Hmong doctors, lawyers, businessmen.  Many of these people grew up in ghettos and some were in gangs but grew out of that phase.  Many Lao and Hmong overseas volunteer to help the less fortunate in Laos.  Even People/Buddist Monks from Laos go to the west to raise money to build Lao temples, schools, and hospitals.  Lao still worry about the fate of their birth place.  There's no denying it.

The Lao temple in India where all the Lao PDR officials stay at when they do pilgrimage in India was started by oversea Lao not Lao PDR officials.  Thailand has like 4-5 temples in India.  India gave Laos a plot of land but no one built anything on it.  Then some oversea Lao and Lao monks decided to raise money to build one.

Hm refugee? So you call someone who wwillingly supported the 7 year bombing of Laos refugees? Wow interesting. I guess if Germans who supported the Nazis wanted to leave after the Soviets came in are they called "refugees" too? It was all their choice. Nobody forced Lao into supporting Amerikkka. But something America did do is brainwash you.

You see America was dropping notes from the sky warning people to not support the evil viets and pathet lao, while at the same time bombing Laos to hell. The result? Lao had to flee from the bomb areas,not from the Vietnamese or Pathet Lao.  They used the scare of vietnam and racism to make lao join them. Those who joined the Amerikkkans caused pain on themselves. I Know i know they had to run right?

Because the CIA would have treated the Pathet Lao so warmly and nicely after the war right? 

You have numbers on the success of Lao Americans? All I see is negative stats. Also Lao American girls are leaders in teen pregnancy stats as well.  Dropping out of high school sure isn't fun huh

I don't even he takes himself seriously.

Lao people were "refugees".  You should understand that word.  You have "good" ENGLISH. 

You go by 60's ideologies and hypocrisy.  You posted all this bull**** and how you despise Thailand and then you finally admitted you go shopping in Thailand yourself.

You're not religious but most Lao people are interested in Buddhism to some extent and for sure are really superstitious.   I'm talking about Lao Loums here.  I don't know enough about your Lao Teung culture.

All this YET the professors at Souphanouvong University and many Vientiane colleges were recently in the west "asking" for aid and grants. 

Every history article you read on Laos will have it's own spin.  Most articles leave out many details that only Lao who lived in those places and had personal experiences would know about. 

Your the type of person that would deny that the Vietnamese and "others" played a big part in the Pathet Lao coming to power.  In the Lao PDR history books the Ho Chi Minh trail is barely discussed. 

Luang Prabang did not fall to the Pathet Lao.  When it was taken by their buddies.

You can deny this all you want but people who lived in Luang Prabang know who overtook LPB and it wasn't the Pathet Lao.  They didn't even speak Lao.

I'm not going to go back and forth with anyone about history.  You can go ahead and type yourself a bunch of long post.  You can do as you please and no one cares.  It's the past, many mistakes were made, and we can learn from it.  People in Laos themselves don't even care much about the era.  They youth know more about Thai actors/actresses and Korean boy bands than Lao history.

Nongkhai is still Thailand.  It is populated by people of Lao ethnicity and used to be part of Laos but not anymore.  Maybe in the future that will change but who knows.  You can dislike Thailand all you want.  Laos in modern times in culturally tied to the hip to Thailand.  They themselves made it that way.  Every Lao office, store/shop/ restaurant has the Thai TV on all day.  I'm tired of young Vientiane girls saying "kha" and "ja".  They mix Lao/Thai/English.  They can just speak straight Laos but to them it's not as cool as speaking some Thai mix.  It's a shame.  But it is what it is.

People in Laos, especially the Lao PDR leaders, don't view other places and people as you do. They love Thailand, Korea, and the west.  That's them, not me.

 Boringggg. People ran from bombed areas and America caused it. Second of all if America didn't ignore (along with South Vietnam) the national Vietnamese elections Ho Chi Minh was projected to win and unify Vietnam. So that is two strikes against Amerikkka so far, third strike was making up the gulf of tonkin accident. 

The icing on the cake was theRlg gov sitting back and allowing America to bomb its own citizens. Lol such caring leaders lets let America bomb Laos so they can somehow save Laos  America caused all of Laos' problems, they continued a divided  class society and picked up right where France left off. You buy their bulls1t and their freedom rhetoric because you are basically their puppet. They didn't care about any of Laos communist or not they are just as racist and discriminatory  to their own citizens so why would they care aboiut some rice farmers 5000 miles away? 

No one has anything against Thais, like you do.  No one is as backwards as you.

There is just an over reliance on Thailand.  Both culturally and economically. 

A lot of Lao babies aren't even born in the Lao PDR.  They're born in Thailand.  Lao people don't trust Lao PDR doctors.  It's a dang shame.

Another sad thing about Lao youth going to study abroad is the DESERVING students a lot of times don't get the grants/scholarships.  Lao gets a certain amount of grants/scholarships from other countries yearly.  A lot of times the students with the best grades/scores are not given the scholarships.  Children/grandchildren/relatives of Lao officials, who are already wealthy, get a free ride through college/university.

I can care less about the self named hiso Lao people.  It's annoying hearing them speak their Lao/Thai/English mix and try to sweeten up their voices with their Thai Lakorn/Korean pop mannerisms. 

50 year old ladies doing KPOP hairstyles to weddings?  C'mon now!

 sure they would fit right in with Lao Amerkkkan wannabe thugs. It's the Lao Amerikkkan dream, join a gang and do nothing about your population only graduating highschool at a 50% rate. Oh  I forgot the other pastime of Lao Amerikkkans complain and whine about Laos yet do nothing to fix Laos or their own people's situation.

Do you old men actually do anything besides chatting up young lao girls on fb or b1tching about Lao pdr? Why don't you fix your own home before going to others and yapping? Or you could spend time with Lao Amerikkkan youth and teach them that education is important. But nah you want to lure young Lao girlsto amerikka and treat them like slaves when then arrive. 

It doesn't matter what the dodo says.  Most Lao want to leave given the chance.  That's why all those young girls are working in Pattaya, Phuket and the red light districts of BKK to find themselves a farang husband.
