Don't believe Thai so much,
We still have good neighbor countries
as China and Vietnam.
I feel unease about this,
Thai will make us its Chang Wat.

Why can't we shut the relationship with Thailand down
so that we can show them that we can stand on our own.

I hate them

I think this is your doubt.
The 1 bridge supported by Australian------->gold mine??
The 2nd one supported by Japan------------>???
3rd Thailand--------------->???
4th China----------->???

For me this is a win - win situation.
and I hope we will have something like Schengen VISA in SEA soon.

Yes!! Thankyou, Thailand. But don't forget one they get it done. Imagine that all their export-good that ship to Vietnam tru Laos. How much you think they would make?? 5 times more than they spend on building the Bridge across to the otherside. Don't forget this is a long term caculation for the Thai Govt.

The sketches, plans and models are nice to look at. But, if they never build it... It doesn't matter anyways. As far as I know, they been talking about this same bridge since they finished the one in Savanhnakhet. I highly doubt it, if the Thais are willing to fork out the $$$ to build this bridge.

Eh, you are a very xenophobic person. There should be more bridges crossing the Mekong River between Laos and Thailand, Laos and Myanmar and Laos itself. Laos needs to expand more trading opportunity. Laos must have transport network connecting to every region in SE Asia and China so this bridge is really a good thing.

I'm Thai,
I apologize for those Thais who say bad words about Laos in this web board.
I hardly understand why some people behave so badly these days.
Sometimes, misunderstading may occur but it should be dealt with maturely, not emotionally!!!
We are well educated people, our behavior, mentality should be as well educated people.

Look at the history of our races (Laos & Thais),
We are very close to each other.
We can speak our OWN language and are able to UNDERSTAND each other without any translator.
We share the same national religion, BUDDHISM.
Our cultures are very close together.

We are so close (closer than any other nations on this earth) as I've mentioned above,
It's easier to befriend than create hatred (remember we are Buddhist)
Buddha does not preach hatred but LOVE, MERCY.

Be mature!!!!!

Thanks a lot for being polite and friendly to thais and The Thai Royal family.

However, it's better to amend an understanding between Thais-Laos.

Most thais have not thouht that Thailand and Laos are brothers or
"BAAN PHEE MOUANG NONG" for a long time. We used to but nowadays it's not anymore. It is just a way that thai media still states in the news nevertheless since the end of 25 th seagames they realized that they are not going to do so anymore.

..we can still be friends but we are not brothers.
Hope you will understand.

Thailand and Laos Jong Jarern..

The topic is between "Laos-Thailand"

It's not about "Laos-Thailand" AND "Italian, Spanish and Portuguese" ("Italian, Spanish and Portuguese" let them be, whether they are friendly or not)

It's better for Laos & Thais to promote more FRIENDSHIP, HARMONY and PEACE.

In my opinion, FRIENDSHIP, HARMONY and PEACE (between Laos and Thais) are better than misunderstding, hatred.

Construction of the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge across the Mekong River (05/03/2009)

Thailand and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic already jointly operate two bridges across the Mekong River, and a new bridge, the third of its kind, will soon be constructed, with the foundation-stone laying ceremony scheduled for Friday, 6 March 2009.

The Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge will link Hom village in At Samat subdistrict, Mueang district, Nakhon Phanom province in northeastern Thailand, with Veuntayvillage, Khammouan province in Laos.

Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will preside over the foundation-stone laying ceremony on March 6. The ceremony will take place at two spots, one at Veuntay village in Khammouan, at 3:00 p.m., and the other at Hom village in Nakhon Phanom, at 4:00 p.m. Lao Vice President Bounngang Vorachit, will represent Lao PDR at the ceremony.

Also present at the official groundbreaking ceremony will be Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Lao Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh, and ministers and high-ranking officials from both sides.

Thailand is responsible for the construction cost of the Third Friendship Bridge, which is estimated at 1,761 million baht. The concrete bridge will be 788 meters long and 13 meters wide. It will require a period of 30 months for the construction. When completed, the cross-border facility will become a new land route bringing Thailand and Laos closer together.

The bridge will facilitate the cross-border movement of goods and people from Thailand to Laos and vice versa. It will create business opportunities and generate economic activities between the two countries, especially in trade, investment, and tourism. Apart from Thailand and Laos, this bridge will also make it easier for Thailand to connect with Vietnam, another country in the Greater Mekong Subregion.

Thailand and Laos officially opened the First Friendship Bridge, linking Nong Khai in northeastern Thailand with the Lao capital of Vientiane, on 8 April 1994. The Second Friendship Bridge, linking Mukdahan, also in northeastern Thailand, with the central Lao province of Savannakhet, was opened on 20 December 2006.

The operations of the bridges across the Mekong River have played a vital role in promoting relations between Thailand and neighboring countries. They have also boosted cross-border trade.

From January to November 2008, cross-border trade between Thailand and Laos totaled almost 73 billion baht. It is expected to increase by 25 percent in 2009. Many Thai products, especially consumer goods, machinery, and IT products, are still in great demand in Laos.

Thailand now ranks first among Laos’ trading partners and it still remains the largest foreign investor in Laos.

First being good neighbour and then can be be brother and sister.

I am living outside of Laos. I am Lao, I never hate Thai. I just don't like them. I have many Thai friends, buto be honest, whenever I want to make close friend to them, I could not make it. Because they seem to my not sincere and honest people. At the same time, I can make close friend with others like Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam. So, just would like to tell my Thai friends that they should respect other not to be too much self-esteem.

As I know so far, Thai people always fight with their neighbour nt lonly Laos but other countries. Maybe they thought they are well educated then others?
Who can tell me why many Thai people like look down nation: It is their hobbies or Their parient teach them to be like this?

If your are good Thai, just come to us, to make and show you good manner to our people, because there are a lots of bad images of Thai to Lao.

Whenever, those people stop looking down us, we would be ready to be good friends for Thai like with other nations near us. No matter you care for our feeling or not, we have to tell you the thruth.

Be observed closely, Thai has no good neighbour, because only some Thai people behave badly with their neighbours.

So, just think and consider what Thai to do next, continue like this Or change their behave. It is really up to Thai to educate their people and society.

What kind of sincerity is that that you don't like them but you want to be friend with them anyways. Is that a Lao style of sincerity which is another word for " 2 faces"?

Just do Thai a favor if you don't like Thai then don't make friend with Thai that's all I'm asking for. Don't be sincere in the Lao style and stop accuse other nation that they are less sincere than you. Because that is just another way to look down on them OK?
