I'm tired of reading and hearing Lao people talk about nationalism, colonialism, and "bloodlism". We always blame the French, good, but at least if not for the French "Laos" would not be on the map today. I never like colonialism or Frence. Now, what if Laos do an open letter asking Thailand for the old provinces back? Argentina had asked the British for the Falkland Island back which was taken by the British 180 years ago!!!!! both countries also went to war in 1982.
Laos land conflict is only a 100 year ago! The jews and arabs fought for lands every single day since 3,000 years ago! the Irish, Scotish went after the British. Japan and China fighting over one piece of tiny land. Next Laos?
the Lao people in Thailand will become "Thai" if we leave this issue alone. It got to the point that the Thai government created a program call "Thaification" basically, brain washing and transforming the Lao to be come Thai, de-emphasising the Lao and Khmer ethnicities of the Lao people in thailand.
Chou Anouvong was strong and bloodlism, a hero, but weak because of no UNITY within Lao people.

Stop this laughable nonsensical bullsh!t!!! Only a stupid uneducated Lao person dreams to have Esan back. Lucky enough that Esan is under Thailand control. Esan has almost 4 times more people than Laos. It is much more developed than Laos and the Esan people have enjoyed a better healthcare system and a living stardard higher than Lao people. For comparison, Laos has been one of the poorest Southeast Asian countries and Lao people are multiethnic and have always been struggling to survive.
Laos cannot unite with Esan unless Esan people decide to take over Laos and put Laos under Thai control.
I don't think any Esan person would want to come back to Laos. They left Laos for a reason, to go somewhere better for their life. It's like asking all the Lao norks if they want to come back to Laos. Hell no. We don't want to live under stupid commie rule, it would be like going backwards. Most of the Esan people speak mostly Thai language anyways, they learn it in school. They are assimilated into Thai culture now so they don't think of themselves as Lao although they are aware of their roots. If you go accross to Nong Khai or Udon they speak Thai or "Esan", not Lao. Most people in Laos can speak Thai but Thai people do not speak or understand Lao.
The real question is why don't Lao people ask to take Laos back for the Lao people instead of these dog viet commies that are destroying the country. Did anyone in the past destroy Laos as much as these commies? Did the French? I wish the French still controlled Laos, at least we wouldn't be eating dog shiet still.

So you are very educated that you asked the other person to stop laughing and dreaming and barked out stupid? You are another lazy Lao blood that's too lazy to dream and advance and debate. Go educated yourself about the Indians "native Americans" about the wounded knees or about why Texas wanted to break away from the USA and or Quebec wanted to break away from Canada. They all happened recently, ok "stupid"! Or maybe your are one of those Thai Monarchy internet proxy trolls policing and saving the King's face.
If you go accross to Nong Khai or Udon they speak Thai or "Esan", not Lao. Most people in Laos can speak Thai but Thai people do not speak or understand Lao.
You're totally wrong, have you even been to Nong Khai or Laos? If you come to my country Laos and visit Mueng Noi, Xengda, Nong Dok, and many areas you will feel that you are in Nong Khai or Udon because they speak like you said "Esan". If you go to Thakhek Laos and cross the Mekong river you will hear that they "Esan" speak, Laos just like on the other side of the Mekong. No offense Do you even know what Esan is?

The Esan people may feel pity for you because you are poorer than they are, but they have lived in their own land for centuries and in a much better living standard. Have you traveled in the northeast of Thailand? they are much more developed than Laos and they are proud Thai citizen and many of them look down on you. I am Lao and proud to be Lao. I don't care about their king or whoever. I care about Laos and Lao people. We may share similar ancestors with them but I don't want them to be part of Laos. Anyway, where is your pride? Are you even Lao? Laos has already a lot of problems to solve. You make Lao people look like dreaming losers.

Have I ever been to Nong Khai or Laos, of course, I was born in Udon. My father is from Vientiane. I am Canadian but now I live and work in the USA. I am not one of them Lao person who is lazy and stays in one place all their life. I am kon Esan and I would prefer not to go back to Laos unless it changes from it's current commie dictatorship. When I was in Nong Khai recently, they did not understand when I spoke Laos to them and when they reply, they only speak Thai. If Esan people really want to go back to Laos, they can just cross the mekhong river, but they don't. Why? Cause they don't like the life in Laos and it's gov't, there is no freedom there.

What a lie dude/mame! Esan is "Lao". Go do your research! They speak "Lao" if you speak to them. They will speak Thai if they are at public work. They must had spoken to you in "thai" because you kept eating at KFC or Mcdonald's! LOL. :) Or you were speaking Thai because you were to ashame to to speak Lao. Stop posting multiple posts and personalities. YOu are not Lao, you are Canadian!
have you ever heard of the war recently (not quite) but....from wiki or ask your mother;
The Thai–Laotian Border War (December 1987 – February 1988) was a short confrontation between Thai and Laotian forces. It was caused by a dispute involving the map made by French surveyors in 1907 to mark the borders between Siam and French Indochina in the southern Luang Prabang Range mountain area. Ownership of the village of Ban Romklao on the border of Phitsanulok Province and three small border villages on the edge of Uttaradit Province was left unclear. (This is the same map underlying the Cambodian–Thai border dispute. The agreed factor in determining ownership was the natural watershed, but the French map makers at times ignored this.[2])
A series of minor shooting incidents had occurred between Thai and Laotian forces in 1984. In December 1987, however, Thai armed forces moved in to occupy the disputed village of Ban Romklao, raising the Thai flag over it. The government of the Lao People's Democratic Republic protested strongly, insisting the village was part of Botèn district of Xaignabouli province. Thailand replied that the village belonged to Chat Trakan district (amphoe) of Phitsanulok Province. Pathet Lao forces staged a night attack on the small Thai garrison, driving the Thai soldiers from the village and replacing the Thai flag with that of the PDR Laos. Serious fighting followed, continuing for weeks until a cease-fire was declared on February 19, 1988.
The brief war claimed a total of about 1,000 casualties, the Thais suffering more heavily since for much of the war they were attacking entrenched Laotian positions. Gen. Chavalit Yongchaiyudh was the commander of the Royal Thai Army at the time of the war and was criticized for engaging in it against the wishes of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Vietnam had assisted its communist ally, sending troops from the Second Vietnamese Infantry Division to Baan Nakok air field in Xaignabouli to support the Laotian military operations.[3]
Aftermath
The Thai-Lao Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) was established in 1996 to clarify the 1,810-kilometre boundary and settle ownership of the disputed villages. Border demarcation is still going on.[4]

Dude, Esan is not Lao. Esan is half Thai half Lao and now it's becoming more Thai. The only thing Lao about it is where they came from originally. I was just in Nong Khai and Udon visiting relatives and they do not speak Lao at all. Their kids do not speak Lao cause they've gone through the Thai school system. There is no Lao flag there, and no one admits to being from Lao, not even the tuk tuk drivers.
I know more about Lao history than you think and it's not from reading some stupid wiki site.
Laos can't even take care of it's own land and people in Laos. How are they going to take care and develop the Esan provinces if they take it back? No one wants to be ruled by stupid commies in Lao.
You cross the river from Laos into Nong Khai and it's like night and day. Nothing on the Lao side of the river but when you get to the otherside, there is signs of life and freedom. I speak the truth not to look down upon Laos but I say it like it is.

hey Thai boy don't get frustrated! go learn the real truth. stop talking like you know "esan is not Lao". If without the modern "slave" labor like essan people Bangkok will not function. Bangkok will not be Bang****. You believe Essan people in Thailand are better off than Lao? LOL! So Tai Orathai, buc MUM, buc Fai are rich? Have you ever heard buc Fai song "I am Lao"? Stop visiting KFC or Pizza Hut joints when visiting Thailand! LOL ROL!!!

Yes, Esan people in Thailand are better off than Lao. At least they have KFC and Pizza Hut in Thailand. People in Thailand can make their own fortune and become rich by their own efforts. In Laos, you don't have any freedom or choices. When you are poor in Laos, you will just die poor. The Esan people love the Thai King. They hate the stupid commie patet lao gov't.
Do you want to compare the avg. income of an Esan person to a Lao person?
Do you want to compare the educational level of an Esan person to a Lao person?
Do you want to compare the number of Lao people working in Thailand versus the amount of Thai people working in Laos?
These are the facts. You should stop listening to the commie propaganda, they try to prevent Lao people from defecting and crossing to go over to Thailand. Some say there are millions of Lao people who are now Esan in Thailand than there are Lao people in Laos which is only about 6 million. More Lao people live outside of Laos than there is in the country of Laos itself. Doesn't this speak for itself?
Lao people planned this all along. They are very sneaky! They let their people populate most of Esan and northern Thailand. Then their people become Thai citizens to gain full rights in Thailand. And now they're going after Bangkok. Their plan is to take over all of Thailand!!! Don't trust the Lao people! They think like the Chinese. They only care about taking over Thailand.
Thai people won't have any land left if outsiders including Lao, Chinese, and Vietnamese, keep coming to Thailand to steal jobs and lands!!!!
Lao people think too much like Chinese. They want to dominate Thailand and leave Thai people without any jobs or money.
I know what Lao people are up to. They're trying to make Thailand into Lao country #2!!!! Get out of Thailand!!!!

You're speaking only on behalf of yourself. You're a Thai King's internet proxy soldier, spreading the false love. Erase the Lese-majesty law if you want to know how much Siam or Essan (aka Lao) love the Thai King (the world's richest $30 billion++). HOW DID HE GET THAT MONEY? about freedom, Now who has more freedom? Many Essan are dirt poor. If he ****s gold,I'll bow to him, but he ****s ****s.!
There are only six million people in Laos and there are 30 million people in Esan. Esan doesn't want to be part of Laos unless Laos want to be part of Esan.
There are only six million people in Laos and there are 30 million people in Esan. Esan doesn't want to be part of Laos unless Laos want to be part of Esan.
There are 6 millions of Lao and two millions of Vietnamese and 1 million of Chinese in Laos . There are 30 millions of Esan and 10 millions of Lanna = 40 millions people enough to win every election in Thailand . There are only 70 million people in Thailand today.

What if Thailand ask Lao for combine Lao to Thailand? Is this spupid question isn't?
Anybody here know why His Majesty King Srisavang vong agreed with Augustine Pavie that lao lanxang will be a French proectorated ? Because Siamese treated Lao Laxang very badly. look at Esarn thai, Do you think they're well off like Khon Krungthep ? Nah, noway Jose. poor and still poor in the region of Thailand. everything bad happen they the (Khon Krungthep) throw or blame at Khon Esarn.
Why do we need Esarn back ? C'mon man, let's be realistic here. We can't even feed 6 million population and you're talking about adding another 40 something million ? So if Esarn take Laos back and create another state that would be different story.
So please stop instigate or sturd thing up and create a hatred between Lao and Thai please.
That's allrights, Essan is belong to Lao, if Essan people, don't want go back be Laos, and let them move over to live with Thai Siam and le them be slaved over again!!!!!! and we want land back.
If Esan people want to go back to Laos, they can, but they don't cause living in Laos sucks asss!!! Commie gov't suckss asss holes.
Who says Esan people are poor in Thailand? Go take a look at poor asss Lao people eating buffalo shiet everyday cause of commie lao gov't.
Esan people choose to stay here, don't facking tell me what to do you fack nuts. Go live in your shiet holes and stop bothering Esan people, including me. I don't give a shiet about your Laosy or Thai hate. Listen to your own stuipidity and shut the fack up.
Esan is freedom from facking commie patet lao stupids. Esan is free from Bangkok thai also. We belong to NO ONE. If you don't understand that then fack yourself stupid biatches. We don't care about rich or poor. We just want to live our way of life. Stop thinking the commie way and come to force others into your stupidity.
Vietnam and China will take over Laos, wait and see stupid facking dog. Worry about your own stupid self.
Esan people are already taking over Bangkok. Nothing can stop us, we are the voice of the people. We are the future.

Chou Anouvong was strong and bloodlism, a hero, but weak because of no UNITY within Lao people.
Isan is a lost cause. They don't want to be apart of Laos, just like Taiwan don't want to be apart of China. The underlying issue with Lao people, as you mentioned, is the lack of unity. And why is there unity. There's no unity because jealously, selfishness, hate, cowardice, and a false sense of pride runs deep in Lao people. The Arabs love one another. The Jews love one another. Lao people can't even get along, much less love one another.

Your right these people on this blog have no clue that Essan and the Lao language or nearly the same. The Lao language was given a different name by a Thai king who thought as Thais do that some how they are better than every one else on the planet, not! He ask the academics at the time to make some changes to Lao so that they could rename the Lao language and call it by a different name (Essan). Essan is not a Thai dialect and that is why Thais out side of Essan have no understanding of the language but people who speak Lao understand Essan well and people who speak Essan understand Lao very well. This also applies to what is called Northern Language in the far north west of Thailand, it is called Northern Thai but is completely different language, it's Lana a group that was eventually assimilated into the Thia borders after many push and pulls of land boundaries.
Funny i found this web board by accident while searching for a topic that has nothing to do with this... This is in English but it appears that it is Central Thais and Lao people arguing here about some thing so silly. Laos is a good country and true it is not nearly as developed as parts of Thailand but then it is not any where as corrupted as Thailand is! The corruption in Thailand is unbelievably bad and most Thais are too brain washed that they have such a great county that they don't admit how big a problem it is that they have there. Lao and Essan People are very similar but the Laos are not brain washed which is a strong point for their culture.
What a bunch of Bull **** about the French doing good for Laos, and it was not the Vietnamese that screwed up Laos, but the Americans and their secret war there that destroyed so much of the potential Laos had and killed so many innocent people there, even today many children and people die and are dismembered by land minds that were dropped on a country that never entered into either side of the Vietnam war, just Americans and their trashy wars for the sake of commercial interest in the profits of war and politics about controlling areas of the world they think they might have an interest in strategically.
Seems most that have posted here need to read up on history with books not written by Thais.
Laos is peaceful now so don't think about this to creating some problem between Laos-Thai. Especially we are going to open the country for ASEAN Community in the next 2 years. Laos people will be able to work or do business in any countries in ASEAN.
According to ThamNai(Lao Prophecies), Esan will return to Laos on it's own. This is after Rama IX(Ninth Thai King) passes and Lao Nork will return to Lao. Classical Esan Morlam singers love to recite verses of Thamnai in their morlam but make sure to keep out Esan's return to Lao, Rama IX passing out of their songs for obvious reasons. It's hard to imagine but it will come to pass.
You guys are talking about Esan. But how many of you have actually lived amongst/worked with this people?? I would like to know. I can go on and on about these people and a lot of it is not positive opinions. Any Lao that has extensive experiences with Esan Lao will know what i'm talking about. They're still our brothers/sisters and I wish them all the best, but the content of the character of "most(not all)" is not very good.
We don't need E sarn back, Period. We're doing good without them. They ( the E sarn can form they own country if they want it too ) but we don't need them back into our own Ana chak lao again.

I know what Lao people are up to. They're trying to make Thailand into Lao country #2!!!! Get out of Thailand!!!!
You are right about that Lao have planned for along time and we will get there soon as possible because it comes around and goes around. Lao people know that what Siam did to Lao is unforgettable. Lao people intend to united all Lao people and land that we lost to Siam 200 hundred years ago and we want it back that it belong us. We will do everything make sure that Siam will give it up.

Lao people think too much like Chinese. They want to dominate Thailand and leave Thai people without any jobs or money.
I know what Lao people are up to. They're trying to make Thailand into Lao country #2!!!! Get out of Thailand!!!!
You are right about that Lao have planned for along time and we will get there soon as possible because it comes around and goes around. Lao people know that what Siam did to Lao is unforgettable. Lao people intend to united all Lao people and land that we lost to Siam 200 hundred years ago and we want it back that it belong us. We will do everything make sure that Siam will give it up.
What a moron! Lao people never flooded Isan because it was part of our Lao kingdom.
