If Laos have the government like Thailand "military monarchy demcracy" it will not work. The county will be thrown into Kaos. The rich will be richer and the poor even poorer than now. Then we will have the same thing, revolution to bring back communism.
This stile of government work. Yes it work slowy, but effectively. Ever since the government open its door for more trades, they see the benifits of free market. They can also see the danger of free market. The change works for the size of the country and the people.
The Laos nok will not agree with this. Because they have so much money while living in the United State. They want the government to be democracy, so that they can go home and be rich. What they dont understand. If the government open up too quickly, Many rich foreign countries will buy Laos. This will lead to foreign ownership of Laos and the Laos Nok still loose.
The design is OK. 1. It is true that most bills in other countries portray their heroes or persons whomade a dent to their respective history. But in the new Lao kip real photos of women were portrayed which reflects the Lao value and respect for women. It acknowledges the contribution of women in ensuring the continuity of the Lao race, as well as the representation of unity among major ethnic groups. The women are unknown to many, and their representationin the bill only shows that Lao recognizes ordinary citizen, the unsung heroes, the ones who work for the leaders so that leader will be able to achieve its desires. Leaders lead, but its the people who gets the work done. Hope you will not forget that. 2. The buffalo and the elephant are Ok, they represent culture and traditions; which is balance by progress and development as represented by the electic lines.
quit being so critical. i thinks it was a great idea. it has lots of meaning to it; it shows that there are different cultures within the country by presenting different women on the kip...the scene on the back of the kip shows that agriculture is a big part of their area. Who says thay have to show influencial people on the kip. it's great they show just the citizens of that area!
I like the new design EXCEPT for the women's faces...looks as if they were pasted onto the bodies using Photoshop...doesn't blend in at all with the rest of the design.
They just want Hmongs to own part of Laos . Everything is too late. Right now, Laos country owns by several countries including Australia, Cambodia, China, India,Japan,North America,South Keorea, Thailand, Vietname,and of course U.N. Currently Lao country runs by Chinese power. The reason of these Three beautiful ladies appear on Laos Kip because it is U.S.A. government politic. President Bush will do everything in his power to bring Hmongs back to Lao because USA has obligations of secret war even Hmongs hate that idea. I wonder why not China? Hmongs came from China beside Vang Pao was partner of Chinese government to sell opium to British before Viet. took over Lao. In my opinion, Vang Pao never intent to help USA to fight with Viet. He helped himself because he didn't want to loose Self-Government that French granted in 1949. This is nightmare for Vang Pao if Viet. gains power. He's no longer to control or make his people to work like slave in the jungle. If Laotian people treated Hmongs so bady, how Vang Pao became general and some of Hmongs had high position as senator in Laos. Hmongs also claimed that they are so poor but I am very curouse how they have beautiful clothes to wear and expensive weapon to defense themself. I think real Lao more poor than Hmongs and were treated severely by Viet. Please don't get me wrong , I never hate Hmongs. They just human like me or Obama, but I do hate Van Pao who taught his people to hate Laotian. Van Poa is leader of cult and beleive strongly, polygamy must exist. Please don't call me stupid, educate me if my thinking is to weak so I can learn or understand more about life. Thank you. If you ask Hmongs people ,this is true deifinitely they will against. I am not surprised because 90% Hmongs are Vang Pao's kids or either cousins.
Just because all this people live in Laos it doesn't mean they own the country . Lets look at this as a small melting pot compare to America. Don't worry our county is big enough for all walks of life , learn how to share as one of Laotian I always thought that we're people with big heart. The more populations Lao have the better is good for economy, besides it's too lonely to live by our self. Relax
This topic is so old and should be close by now. Those bank notes are already printed and being spend daily by lao folks... So, there's no need to be talking about it forever.
I like the old bank note better than the new one to me the new bank note can send a wrong message god for bit if any of this girl did something bad in their personal life for example: Have an affair with someone's husband or do porno video and than she's also on Lao bank note this wouldn't be a good image for Laos at all . Isn't it true that these girls represent Laos? Since they're on Laos' bank note.
i dont agree with new bank note. who the hell are they ? did they done anything good for laos ? if not then .the bank plsssss stop make this bank note !! it's soooooooooooooooo stupid .

forget about it, now the govt knows that,new banknote is not ok!!
THAT IS THE THEME THE SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT WANT TO PORTRAY. THE PEOPLE. LET FACE IT, THE WOMEN ARE THE BACK BONE OF EVERY SOCIETY. THIS BILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
HOW MANY WOMEN ARE REPRESENTED IN THE AMERICAN BILLS?
What I do not like as well as many is the picture of buffalo. It does really make Lao people look stupid like
buffalo. Vow!!! no wonder Thai people stereotype Laotian as BUCK KOUAY because we look stupid like KOUAY.
