laos is rising as well.. there are many building & population .. epspecially in the big cities such as vientiane, sawanakhet, pakse and also the tourist place like vangvieng.
the elstate price increase in the big city such as beijing, shanghai , shenzen.. no douth, the poor chinese can't afford and escape to South east asia.. chinese says laos is one of the best country for opportunites to earn $$ especially opening a small shop and export goods for sale to local, they know that lao people don;t know to do a business and so relaxed ( lazy).
I would like to say..that ranked was so old already. If you see the population, you know that was too old ranking already
I think the chart is kind of up-to-date. Please note that, actually, there are 12 millions people living in Bangkok right now, but only 6-7 millions of them is in the official population list of Bangkok. The rest are from other provinces all over Thailand.
