You should say: "I don't know either" (not too)

Lao rumours are sooo cool

1000000000000%  Their faces were identical.

Oops! Sisavang Wathana seemed to be a fake King. The colony ruler could do everything, even King cannot keep his own son, to say nothing of ordinary people. However, I do understand his feeling, judging on the mentioned story. 

No wonder, having known this rumour, Lao people did not care much about King or last regime.

I am old enough, but in the past 66 years I have never heard about this kind of rumour before. I can hardly believe it. Brothers or sons don't have to look alike even though they have the same father and mother. Look at your brothers or
cousins, do they really look like you.

It is not true.

Vatthana attended his father's funeral and supposedly remarked to King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia saying "Alas, I am destined to be the last king of Laos."

You criticiz our late King, but your government build a statue of his ancestor Chao Fa Ngum. Go buy a dictionary and look up the word "hypocrite".

This person defended even the fake king who did nothing for Laos and Lao people. Be more reasonable if you still have your own brain. There is nothing hypocritical about the story, that is a reality.

Of course, we respect our good and real, but not fake king who even King Sisavang Vong could not accept.  

Let me ask some of you this:

If the remaining "royal" family does anything spectatcular to help Laos, would you accept them as a King?

So supposily Prince Savang Vathana couldn't lift his father and that makes him not the real son. Great logic! that must be from that "great" education system that the LPDR I heard about so much.By the way, great job on selling away Laos to Vietnam(now China too.)

Savang or Sisavang Vatthana (full name Samdach Brhat Chao Mavattaha Sri Vitha Lan Xang Hom Khao Phra Rajanachakra Lao Parama Sidha Khattiya Suriya Varman Brhat Maha Sri Savangsa Vadhana) (13 November 1907 − 13 May (?), 1978; or perhaps as late as 1984) was the last king of the Kingdom of Laos. He ruled from 1959 after his father's death, until his forced abdication in 1975. Savang Vatthana proved unable to manage a country in political turmoil. His rule ended with the takeover of the Pathet Lao in 1975, after which he and his family were sent to a re-education camp by the Pathet Lao.

Yes, I think, Lao kind did not the great efforts to the Country in the past and was not so grave like other's country king, they  alway took vacation in France and left the Lao pleople  killed each other inside the Country, the Country was divided and was unable United like curent situation , therefore the King was useless for Lao People.

we are young generation in  Laos, we did not know  about the role of king in Laos, please do not talk about him, he is useless man for lao society. I remeber my father told me that before 1975, in Laos had only 1 high school in Vte( Lycee Vte ), no road, no telephone, no eclectricity , no clear water  adn ... all of that it because of king, it  was too bad for Lao People and now you can encourage the Lao people to respect him and no way I can not bow my head to him and his relatives

Lao Vientiane.

Whether you want to respect him/them or not just remember that he/they were part Laos’ history, that’s something you “younger generation” need to at less know about.  Laos wasn’t born after 1975 or is that what they teaching you “younger generations” in Laos nowadays?  Just because you don’t respect the man doesn’t mean he’s not existed.

 

Best Regard. 

If you want to abolish the king,isn't that you mean to destroy sinh and Lao culture too? King does not represent only power. He also stands for Sinh, Pasalong,Kaun,Morlum,Temple,Holiday and many more. Why you want to demolish it knowing these things you cannot invent it.  Beside not to many countries have it though. When some of Western country doesn't have king, I believe we shouldn't follow they bud.

excuse me lao vientiane, perhaps your father told you the wrong strory because nampapa lao existed well before 1960, electricity of laos produced electricity in vt before 1955 with fuel in actual faifa lao company, namgnun dam produced power in 71-72 and fagnum schools were settled before the 70 in most important provinces, all ministries in vientiane are from the old regime, what i said is not that i like the old regime but to tell you the truth that all that you cited above existed well before 1975 and more : many individual factories were closed down after 1975 such as nampa lao factory, lao monosodium glutamate factory, saonoi tobacco factories ...
regards.

yeah... i agree with you... the Manarch is useless... we are happy for what our regime is rightnow, our govt doing pretty well....

Yes, I agree with you. The King was useless and stupid. Laos got an independent from Franch was not because the monarch, but because of our current ruling party. The king was just enjoyed his life with his many wives, although some of them slept with French rulers.  

Yes, It was suited for him to die in the reeducated camp.

If he was smart he would not have died like that, at least he would have fleet from Laos before he was caught. 

He had no brain, no wonder Laos was poor.

I am surprised by this comment. Respect whom? The stupid king? Oy! If he was smart he would not have died like that, at least he would have  left Laos before he was caught. 

talking without any proving is timeless.a lot of people like to discussion
things/people in a bad way without prove things. how doyou know what
the exactly is in the history? use your time to improve your view first,
before telling people are bad like that like this, look at your self how good
you are? what did you do for country/people?or can just complain?

Instead of blaming Viet. communist who smashed your head off, you end up blamed our king who had big heart, who loved peace and who loved everybody around the world. You must feel very angry because your country is poor. Hey look at your brothers and sisters who are currently living in the land opportunities. How many of your siblings became doctors, nurses,lawyers,pharmacists, chemical engineerings,teachers,professors,computer programmers, fashion designers, and others? The percentage is very low compare to Viet. and  Camb. who came here as refugees as your blood.  Now, who do you blame ? I guess it must be you and your brothers or sisters. Without educations and support each other ,Laos country will remains poor 4/ever. It is not to late to make our Motherland to becomes prosperous country. Knowledge or education makes moneys. Moneys decrease your embarrassing. Study!!!!! Make sure all your brothers and  sisters are doctors. Do you know doctos' salary at least 300,000 USD per year to start out?Stop blame my king!!!!!! Get your Ass work harder!!!!

Lao young generation

I left my country when I was six yrs old. I didn't have a choice. If I know from right to wrong like you, I will write words enjoin,happinese ,and leive like this because our beloved king had taught me how to write enjoy, happiness, and leave this way. Is it the way your current governments teach new generation to write English? I see!! Dee Hom Lai nor!!!
