There's no reason for anyone to be unhappy about. Non of the kingdoms, fielddoms that Chao Pha Ngoum took over / unified now no longer exist. Those people have now been absorb/assimilated with various nations. They weren't part of Burma, Thailand, Vietname, China or Cambodia. In fact it was with Cambodia's blessing and help that enabled Chao Pah Ngoum to launch the military expedition.
King Fah Ngum the Great is the founding father of the unified Laos. King Fah Ngum is a symbol of Lao unity and prosperity. He helped turned the various Lao Muang into a unified Lao Kingdom/State.
