Never lie to oneself. the truth will set you free. There is no escaping who you are, hide, runaway, pretend, your blood is still within you. I be lao all the way. Best to love yourself.
I am a Thai. When I think about Laotian people hating Thai people, it may be because Thailand used to join with the US to fight with Lao and Vietnam during the Indochina War. I understand that Thailand had to do that because the country had to fight with communist. If it did not do that, the communist movement from Vietnam and Lao would turn Thailand to be a socialist country, which personally I can not accept it. That's why I support Thailand allying with the US to fight with the communist.
at last I hope that Laotians and Vietnamese could understand why Thailand did that. Please dont think about yourself !!!

Don't worry these days Lao opinions are diverse. Some are pro-Vietnam, some are pro-Thai, US, Australia, China, and etc..... It's called freedom of choice.

Wasn't Lanxang broke down because of the fight among you yourself Laos?
Wasn't it because you think you are better than one another among yourself Laos?
Wasn't that long before 100 years ago?
Yes don't worry about Thai discrimination or look down at Lao people just worry about yourself OK?
I don't understand why so many people are so occupied with being looked down. What is looking down?
If you are proud of who you are, your race, your religion, culture, etc... then no one can look down on you. People will always say things, do things to get to you but if you don't let it get to you then you can defeat it. I never had anyone looking down on me. I don't even know what it is.
Stand up and tell the world that you're proud to be Lao.
Easy, Easy, Brother Tobias G. i'm also one of the people that like to come-in to this Website. But i've never talked **** about thais and Thailand. i also appreciated that they the (Thailand) alway help and Supporting us all the time. and have a few Thai students friends here in the State as well as in Canada. Just want you to know that i'm not afraid to criticize Thailand and thai people, But there's no reason for me to do it. and i don't use the past to do criticize it either, That's not me.

We will Burn down Bangkok and take our Prakeo morakot back to Vientiane That was we want you can keep that in your mind you Thai SIAM Did bad things to us and stolen many things and re-wright cover up the story we never forget that!!
Historical sources indicate that the statue surfaced in northern Thailand in the Lannathai kingdom in 1434.
King Sam Fang Kaen of Lannathai wanted it in his capital, Chiang Mai, but the elephant carrying it insisted, on three separate occasions, on going instead to Lampang. This was taken as a divine sign and the Emerald Buddha stayed in Lampang until 1468, when it was finally moved to Chiang Mai, where it was kept at Wat Chedi Luang.
The Emerald Buddha remained in Chiang Mai until 1552, when it was taken to Luang Prabang, then the capital of the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang.
He (then, Prince Setthathirath) returned home (Kingdom of Lan Xang), taking the revered Buddha figure with him.
In 1779, the Thai General Chao Phraya Chakri put down an insurrection, captured Vientiane and returned the Emerald Buddha to Siam, taking it with him to Thonburi.

Be realistic that Wikipedia is not much reliable source for preference, you or me can change that by editing... and I personally think that Laos is not same to Thailand and very different, If u think we are the same, then you should think we the people living in southeast asian are the same because longtime ago we used to be the same ethnic Tai-Kadai, you can search on Internet for preference about THai kadai people.
Please be more respected when write some, i saw some Laos people write a little but seem like some thai write alot for their response. I think people here they have rights to say do so about what they think... Learn to live peaceful with eachother.

I've read a lot about Thai and Lao race.
My conclusion is:
Thai & Lao came from the same root & race (though many people may say it's not correct).
Both languages (even now) are very similar.
People of both nations are similar in appearance and structure.
Cultures are similar.
etc..........................
Language can be developed and grow, as you can see that lots of Thai words derive from Pali and Sanskrit (Lao may be different at this point).
If only we had a time-machine we would see that we landed at the same place in Mongolia and China.
I always respect LAOS & I've never written anything against LAOS.
We are Lao no need to worry about Thai looking down Lao because their altitude just like that not only they are looking down Lao, but all of neighbour country...Chas as Myanmar,Lao,Vietnam,cambodia,Malaysia because they are thinking are the best and richer country in south east Asia and they are looking down on their own Thai citizen to Chas as Thai ISSAN and viet thai,the big discrimination is thai viet they can't access to higher education only high school graduation they even can't go to Bangkok only special permission they have no right to have Thai citizen only land immigrant no right to access to politician but they can't say not thing just keep mouth shut, In term of benefits they never ever give any one for free if they don't have any profits sooner or latter, In term of power they will do every things to take that power they can even kill their own brother to taKING power!! The Lao history they changed every things they lie every things,in 1779 SIAM has burn Vientiane and destroy all documents,history books, and re wright the new one changed all the truth make up all to cover them self , very bad!!

Lots of your ideas (thinking) about Thailand seem to be very strange.
Do you know that Uncle Ho once stayed in Thailand (his home is still preserved to this day).
There are lots of Vietmaneses living in Nongkhai, Sakhonnakon, Chantaburi.......etc.
and they have all the rights as Thai citizen (actually now, they are Thai).
How many Thais act the bad ways as you described ? (yes there are still some bad Thai or bad Lao guys, we can't deny that, but how many of them now ? Are they the majority and represent the whole of both countries ?)
You should come and spend some time and experience reality in Thailand (as lots of Thais do in Laos, and most of them are positive to Laos).
Please find more facts and live your life at this very present time.

I never write something against u either, i think you are probably a thai right.
when u say Laos and thai is same, then you should say Khmer and the people living in Myanmar, i think all in the south eastasian are same root too. then we all are the same in SEA not only Lao and Thai. since we want to have our own identity let we have our own identity for our own developemtn, so dont similarize. hope we all provide constructive comments.

I am Thai from Esan and I was born in Nong Khai . Of course , Khmer, Myanmar are not the same as Thai and Lao brother. I understand Lao language but Khmer , Myanmar, Vietnamese and Chinese. So it is not the same to me even Laos and Thailand are two different countries but the majority of Laotian people who are living in Siam in the past and became Thai today are still have Lao culture deep in the blood . So don't let the time slip by and separate who we really are.
That is the past . Why don't you think how to improve the relationship from now and the future for the better of both countries. As I told you that I am Thai Esan and understand what you are talking about but Esan is part of Thailand and Esan people like it that way. But they know that in the past they used to be Laos . They are Thai citizen and Lao ethnicity today and they are proud as I am. why don't we just think about the future not the living in the past which is going no where but hate.
We are neighboring countries, why we have to wear the mask to each other if we fight we are still neighboring countries, please looking the way how to reduce the temperature of the world or environment, helping each others
Some people just could change just like try to teach the old dog a new trick so it just a waste of time so save your breath. What ever happened that is the past. So don't get mad and get even but get ahead and get well educated and get rich that are the ways to have someone to respect Lao people . If you are billionaires , there will be million of people will kiss your ass . If you are a beggar and homeless even the dog will look down at you.

Go back in time there were more Lao people in Siam before Siam change the name to Thailand . There were million and million Lao people in Thailand and became Thai citizen today and still preserve Lao culture deep in their blood. No need to feel sorry for them they are happy to be Thai today and proud. It seems like Lao people from Laos distance themself from Lao people in Thailand by blaming the history in the past and very sensitive with everything and every issue between Lao and Thai.
