I don't think this people are Buddhist, they're more like the radical Muslims who have no regard for human's life!
How dare them! how can they put this poor child in harms way like this!!
It's imoral and barbaric for Esaan poeple to behaved like this and I don't know why some Laotians still think Esan people are part of Lao?
Only the land that they are on , I would consider is part of Laos that's all.
