Khamtai Crew vs Chounmaly Crew
Permalink   


Right now it's Khamtai's crew vs Chounmaly's crew in Laos. 

Khamtai wants either his son or Bouasone to be Naiyok.

While Chounmaly wants Thongsing to stay.

Notice how neither of them needs a translator when they're in Vietnam.  Neither does Hun Sen of Cambodia.

If you guys didn't know Khamtai and Chounmaly have not gotten along since the 90s.  They are basically the co kings of Laos under the Vietnamese.  These two men grew up together in the caves of Sumnua.  But today their families do not get a long at all.

Nouhak's family fought over his belongings after he passed in Thailand.  Half of them moved to the west and the other half in Laos still don't get along.  Before Chounmaly, Bounyang, Khamtai, Somsavat etc it was guys like Nouhak that were top dog and was in the Viet's good graces.

A lot of the Lao officials are competing to be ratramontrees.  In order to be a ratramontree the Lao officials have to give give Chounmaly minimum 1 mil and that's just to be considered. 

 

Why would they give him that much to be ratramontrees?  It's because a ratramontree in Laos gets to do a lot of business with Viets, Chinese, Aussies, etc.  They make back their money 100 fold. 

 

Khamtai's son(who he wants to be the next Naiyok) became very wealthy just by getting commission from the Aussies.  He and his Aussie partners made to much in Southern Laos that they basically handed their business over to Chinese.

There is nothing wrong with Lao doing business with anyone as long as there is mutual respect and the Lao people are benefiting in some way.  But the majority of the business done in Laos benefits nonLao and Lao officials only.

They're so busy trying to be ratramontrees that some of them don't know the Lao people have had it with their asses. 

 

We see it in Laos everyday.

This is Sonexay Siphandone.  He's not Khamtai's real son but was raised by him and took the Siphandone name.  He's the Chao Kwang of Champasak and is a very wealthy man.  His daddy Khamtai wants either him or Bouasone to be the next Naiyok as Khamtai doesn't like Chounmaly/Thongsing.

Bousone was also raised by Khamtai but did not take his last name.

They're so busy jockeying for positions in Laos that they don't realize that Laos has changed.

 

They still think it's the 90's when they could do as they pleased with Laos.

Sonexay is the King of Southern Laos.  Someone here posted a bunch of pics of his daughter(Noi) a while back. 

I guess Bouasone got over the shame of having so many Vietnamese mistresses and multiple children by them.  His embarrassment is what caused him to take a break from public life.  He and his Lao family lived in a mid size home outside Vientiane, while his mistresses built giant mansions for themselves.  He had also helped them start up many businesses around Laos.

A joke around Vientiane is everyone thought he was pro jek but he was really pro gaew all along LOL.  Get it??  He was literally in bed with the gaew.

These are the "family matters" the Vientiane Times talked about but didn't go into detail.

That bastard Khamtai made it known many times during his speeches in the 90's that he gave a rats ass about the common Lao people.  He said some of the most ridiculous stuff like "Laos belongs to the world not just Lao people" when talking about Vietnamese in Laos.  I mean, really??  All he ever cared about was making his family and relatives rich.  He and Chounmaly have been in competition for wealth since they started beefing in the 90's.  They used to be best friends but now their two families can't stand each other.

 

Both have been hugging on to the Vietnamese nuts because the Vietnamese are their muscle.  They know that if the Viets weren't backing them, the "Lao People" would have gotten rid of their asses a long time ago.  So they hug extra tight onto the Vietnamese balls to this day.

Hmmm...

 

Can't forget the current beef between Naipon Gaenkham/his men VS Xaysomphone Phomvihane after his younger brother Sanyahuk passed.  Xaysomphone is really pissed at Gaenkham for that.  "Malaria" says the Vientiane Times. haha

To add

 

It was Karma.  The Viet had Sanyahuk(their trusted boy) go after Sombath Somphone, Naipon Saengatit, and 3 other Lao Naipons. 

 

Never since the founding of the Lao PDR has their been so much inner quarrel among the Lao PDR leaders.  It's also more public now because Laos isn't as closed off as it used to be in the 80's-90's. 

 

Besides beefing amongst themselves, they have the Lao people on their heels.  Especially those that have mistreated by the Lao officials in recent years.  A lot of Lao officials are turning on the "Park Lat" because they see that it is rotten to the core.  Chounmaly knows it. 

 

Truly interesting times in Laos just as in the rest of Southeast Asia(Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar).

There are still a good amount of Lao people that like the Park Lat and it's usually the richer people who have family in the Park Lat or have benefited from it. 

Normal everyday Lao feel the opposite way and they're the majority in Laos.

The Viets are on neither Buc khamtai's or Buc chounmaly's side.  Buc khamtai believes they like him more.  Buc chounmaly really pissed of the Viets in recent times.  They're all jokeying for position in Laos but at the end of the day the Viets comes in and tells them who goes where.

The Viet had their picks of who they wanted to replace Chounmaly, Thongsing, Bounyang and the Hmong guy i forgot the name of.  Chounmaly got pissed and did something the Viets did not like.  Khamtai is not being listened to by the Viets.

 

Chounmaly/Thongsing is losing sleep nowadays.  They know their future is more uncertain than ever.

Last week, Chounmaly was told by the Jek to either pick the Viet or the Jek.  He had no answer.

Douangchay was supposed to replace Chounmaly this month.  But we know what the Viet did to his ass.  Every Lao PDR official is expendable by the Viets. 

I was a wake up call to many in the Lao PDR ladder.

Chounmaly, Somsavat, and Pany where supposed to go to Xieng Khuang that day.  But they knew the Viets wanted their asses so they made up excuses not to go.  Pany went but she went 1 day ahead.  Chounmaly said he had a fever and Somsavat went to play golf in Luang Prabang.

Douangchay had been the Viets good little helper for all these decades and they still screwed him in the end.

You're missing the point.

They should be speaking Lao(since they claim they're Lao) to the Vietnamese and using a translator.  Unless they were speaking English which is considered the global medium.  That's how the majority of places do it.  Say if Yingluck were to go to Vietnam, she would speak Thai.

But the current Lao officials speak Viet to appease the Viets.  Right now the Viets are cleaning house in Laos.  They don't trust the Lao officials anymore.  The Xieng Khuang incident was just the beginning for the Viets.  Doungchay's family/men are pissed.

Are you stupid? It's called  a press photo moron.p093013ps-0153.jpg?itok=M1lod-r8   I think it is normal for leaders of adjoining countries to learn the language of neighbors. Only American mindset thinks it is being a "traitor" to speak to a foreign president in their language. It's called being xenophobic 

^^ President Obama doesn't need  translator with Israeli president, he is a slave to Israel... biggrin

Can't you show some respect for Mr. Phichit and not drag his name in the mud as part of your silly conspiracies? You claim to know how his family feels yet you really don't.. Just making up stories for your grandchildren in USA as usual.

Yeah his wife didn't want to leave her house after that.  She's usually out and about all day everyday bossing people around.  She owns a lot of businesses.

 

In the past 2 months 8 senior Lao Party officials have passed.

Khamtai speaks Vietnamese because he is ethnic Vietnamese who was born in Vietnam and raised in Southern Laos.  Anyone who grew up around that area will know that.

Funny how they paid that boy no respect on his last visit to Vietnam.  They just paid him and told him to get out of their face.

 

Neither the Viets or Jek are being to kind to the Lao PDR right now. 

 

Plus the Lao PDR officials themselves don't get along nor do they trust each other.

 

Plus the "Patikarn" as they're called are all over Laos now.  They've been bumping heads with the Viets all over Laos.

 

Just like the Lao elders used to say

 

"Sai Nai Tong See Gup Gerd Bpen Non"

+By changes i mean in how Laos is run.  Not changing from hugging Vietnam's nuts to hugging other nuts.

"Some people" will continue to make excuses because the current condition of Laos benefits them and their families.

But Laos is changing whether they like it or not.  The quarreling among the Pak Lat is plain for everyone to see.

 Sorry I don't pay attention to teenee type gossip you old lao norks love to cling to. Ok great he is Vietnamese then ...  So what ? Lao norks lag so behind your coward friends the South Vietnamese in the USA in nearly all categories. So that means your enemy the Viets communist or not really are smarter than you. 

It doesn't matter anything about if you are 25% Viet 50% Viet or whatever you crazy lao norks get excited about. Nobody in Laos is pure race except maybe very remote tribes. If you want to see pure Tai people youust go to China , and even then they are probably mixed with Han. 

Time and time again you say Laos just is a slave to Vietnam. But please if you can show me a nation of 6 million that can clearly dominate its own politics and economy without any outside influence. I don't mind Laos becoming like north Korea and shutting itself off from the world. Get rid off all outside influence and corrupt ways.  A new socialist revolution can happen!

I find it funny that people who claim to love the party have no idea what is going on within the party. 

No mention on the Lao news of what happened to Chounmaly twice within a week's span.  But people all over Laos with a brain know who did what and where.

 See while you are here complaining and crying about Vietnamese running Laos. Look how Lao Americans lag behind Viet Americans in terms of education. You should be focused on improving your own peoples position ( Lao in America) instead of whining and gossiping about the LPRP. I dont like the Vietnamese trying to control SE Asia but im not crazy enough to blather on about them like you all do.

 Also one can love a political party without loving the current leaders. I am sure there are Republicans  who love what their party stands for but don't like Bush or the other Repub candidates. Same with the Democrat party.  I like the party and socialism. I don't agree with corruption whether it be from within the party I like or American based corruption that Lao norks tend to support.

This guys dislikes Lao Noks so much but is obsessed with them.  Viets are more numbers and live in large communities where they support each other.  They left their Vietnam willingly because life in Vietnam sucked for them.  Ask the average Vietnamese Kieu if he wants to return home and he would say NO.  Most Lao always wanted to return home after Laos changes.

 

I only see one person whining like a little girl and doesn't want to accept current events in Laos.

Such an important holiday for those guys and one missed it because of a "stomache ache" and the other missed it because he wanted to play golf?

 

Hilarious!  Those guys knew what the Viets were up to.

 

Douangchay has been paranoid since the Sanyahuk croaked.  He changed his whole house after that.

 So you left Laos why then? Because you benefitted from corruption of the ruling party and when the revolution happened then all your fun ended. Right?  Everyone leaves that out when they talk about "refugees" You guys arent refugees you all had ties to the corrupt leaders and the Lao royals. Thats like if you call people who benefitted from Nazi Rule "refugees" when the Nazi party fell and they had to run. confuse

Thats why you all still hold a grudge to this day.  Your mind is stuck on Laos was a successful rich and great kingdom and the king was always right never wrong. We need our three elephant flag back and then Laos will be rich like this too.  Yet you leave out the details that Laos wasn't rich or well off at all. A small elite ran Laos during those times. Lao culture was being erased by the American prescense with Vientiane being a small version of Bangkok. The Americans were bombing the hell out of Laos and nobody knew about it. The Lao Royals lied to the people saying the Vietnamese the Vietnamese are doing this. biggrin The Viets are attacking and bombing Laos don't let Vietnam take control of Laos. (while they were signing deals with America and Hmong to give Hmong most of Northern Laos)

 

"Take Laos in the 1960s, probably the poorest country in the world. Most of the people who lived there didn’t even know there was such a thing as Laos; they just knew they had a little village and there was another little village nearby.
But as soon as a very low-level social revolution began to develop there, Washington subjected Laos to a murderous “secret bombing,” virtually wiping out large settled areas in operations that, it was conceded, had nothing to do with the war the US was waging in South Vietnam."
How the World Works - Noam Chomsky
 
From Noam Chomsky's 1970 visit to Laos
The contrast between the Lao Ministry of Information and the French Cultural Center gives a certain insight into the nature of Laotian society. For a European resident or a member of the tiny Lao elite, Vientiane has many attractions: plenty of commodities, a variety of good restaurants, some cultural activities (in our hotel a placard announced a reading of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead), the resources of the French Cultural Center. An American can live in the suburbs, complete with well-tended lawns, or in a pleasant villa rented from a rich Laotian, and can commute to the huge USAID compound with its PX and other facilities.
 
For the Lao, however, there is nothing. Virtually everything is owned by outsiders, by the Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese. Apart from several cigarette factories (Chinese-owned), lumber, and tin mines, one of which is owned by the right-wing Prince Boun Oum, there seems to be little that is productive in the country. After decades of French colonialism and years of extensive American aid, "in 1960 the country had no railways, two doctors, three engineers and 700 telephones."[2] In 1963 the value of the country's imports was forty times that of its exports:

The Lao elite do not seem popular among foreign observers in Vientiane, who comment repeatedly on their venality and corruption. Typical is a report by two French journalists who were at the site of a short but brutal battle near Paksane, southeast of the Plain of Jars. They describe the arrival by helicopter of "the strongman of Vientiane, General Kouprasith,…the most powerful of the Lao generals," well after the battle was over:  Maybe things don't change much according to you biggrinbiggrin

A well-informed observer describes the Royal Lao Government in the following way:

Its corruption, lethargy and indifference is as great if not greater than it ever was. Few people living under its rule actively support it. American officials have been unable to push for basic reforms due to the political necessity of getting on with the Lao civilian and military elite so that continued American bombing will be permitted.[7]

With some bitterness he gestured to the street outside the room where we were talking, observing that every one of the stores that lined the street was owned by a non-Lao. The Lao elite is busy building bowling alleys, running the prostitution and opium rackets,[8] renting villas to Americans, living at the exorbitant level permitted by the flow of American commodities and the pervasive corruption. He felt that the American aid program was essentially destructive in having perpetuated a consumer-oriented society which benefited, while corrupting, the elite, and in not having even begun to lay the basis for development or modernization that would involve the Lao masses or create a productive society.

 

American Dream ? This is where you should be improving lives of Lao in your own community. You say its easy for me to talk about how I love Lprp but you should be reaching out to these communities and helping.  If you are so well off and happy reach out to your poor  in your own country.

One third of all Laotians in the United States live in poverty and receive public assistance income, two to four times higher than rates for the general U.S. population compared to any other Asian immigrant group. Southeast Asian refugees including Laotians have far larger proportions of people from agrarian backgrounds with lower educational levels. In West County, of the adult Laotian population ages 25 years and over, 40 percent live below the poverty level, and 46 percent have less than a fifth grade education. Nationally, only one third of the refugees from Laos were high school graduates and about the same number had less than a fifth-grade education. Consequently, in the United States, Laotians frequently work in hazardous, low-income jobs, and 44 percent of the working population is employed in the low-skilled jobs sector as operators, fabricators, and laborers.

We're talking about current events here.  Which you know nothing about by trying to downplay all the changes in Laos just in the past 1-2 years and the decaying of the Pak Lat.

People already know that there were issues in Laos 1954-75. 

There were crooks during the RLG days but NOTHING like how it is today.  The NaChampasaks outside of Chao Boun Oum didn't even own cars and they were all high ranking RLG.

Just as i thought the dummy looks down on other Lao.  Yet he's trying to put words in others mouths saying they call other's ban nok.  Ban Nok is a term used in Laos and Thailand.  He's making fun of Lao farmers who became refugees and do HONEST blue collar jobs.  Something neither he nor his family know anything about. 

Most of the educated Lao class who survived went to Europe and that's why you have so many Lao Professors in Europe.  Doesn't mean there aren't many in the US, Canada, etc.  All the big Lao cultural/social/history forums are held outside of Laos and attended by Lao PDR officials.  Why can't you have them in Laos?? OH! because the Lao PDR doesn't like people talking openly about Laos' issues.

Hahaha!

 

How can other Lao speak on Lao issues when people Laos can't.  You should know what happened to the Vientiane Radio Host who had an hour for Lao people to talk about whatever was on their mind.  Farmers where calling in voicing their grievances and all he was guilty of was listening and taking calls.

How hypocritical!  For almost 40 yrs they have been "trying" to make the Lao refugees look bad for leaving Laos.  Even though the majority of those who left during that did so out of necessity and went through many hardships in doing so. 

 

So these bastards descendents move to live in the very place their grand daddies and daddies talked **** on for since the 50's??

We're talking about current events here.  Which you know nothing about by trying to downplay all the changes in Laos just in the past 1-2 years and the decaying of the Pak Lat.

People already know that there were issues in Laos 1954-75. 

There were crooks during the RLG days but NOTHING like how it is today.  The NaChampasaks outside of Chao Boun Oum didn't even own cars and they were all high ranking RLG.

 

 


 

 

Naipon Phasouk(RIP) who was one of the top Naipons in Laos did not even own a private motor vehicle.

I wouldn't be surprised if Chounmaly tries to move out of Laos.  Especially with what has been happening in Laos in the past couple of months.  His family owns many homes in the US.  Same with the others.

Chounmaly's wife is usually all over Vientiane yapping at everyone.  Now she rarely leaves her house.  Hahahaha

 

Laos is truly changing.

 

There's even been many 3 headed elephant flags put up all over Laos.  Of course they were taken down by the Lao officials.  Doesn't matter.  It's a sign Laos is changing from within.
