When and IF Laos reaches or catch up with Cambodia, Vietnam , and Thailand then what? Then we tried to compete with Japan, India, China, Russia, and other countries to make rocket and go to the moon?

Don't hurry to get there. There is no finishing line in life. Laos progressing the way it will progress. If you have not have happy with it then move to those countries.

Well, that depend on your belief but that but that is another topic for another day.

As I've known , Laos and Vietnam got independence at the same time and in 1990s , Vietnam was even poorer than Laos 'cause of the Soviet Union collapse, but now , look what they've done ! They've got many things while Laos hasn't changed much ! I've seen the tallest building in Saigon which is over 200 meters tall by my own eyes and I asked myself does Vientiane have any building more than 5 floors ? What is wrong with Laos ? We have smaller population , we're supposed to be like Singapore , not like this now !!!!

I wonder when will Vientiane be like this ?

What slows Laos development ? Are we lazy ? I don't think so !

Where the heck did you get Information that Vietnam were poorer than Laos in 90 ? Please take a hard look at Vietnam again man, if there wasn't a war in Vietnam between North and the South. Did you know that Saigon would've been ways better than Bangkok of today. this is true. Please do some research again.... I do understand you completely about our country, But to say Laos is better than Vietnam in 90 you were wrong................

That's true, Vietnam was poorer than Laos right after the end of the war if comparing the living condition of population in these two countries. First 5 years from 1975 to 1980, Ten thousand of Vietnamese were entered Laos to look for job, steal Lao people stuffs and stayed in Laos without permission were the evident that showed Vietnam was poorer than Laos with no question about that. The multiply of numbers of Vietnamese illegally entered Laos was more and more from 1975 to 1990, there was about 200,000.00 ( 2 hundred thousand ) Vietnamese in Laos in 1990.

Non of Laotian went looking for job in Vietnam since 1975 till 1990 ( if we want to count from the 90's downwards ). Laos is better than Vietnam during that time that's why Ong Viet broke Laos law and enter Laos with out passport or permit to pass. That's not different from Lao people illegally entered Thailand to look for job because Thailand is better than Laos.

The living condition of people in Laos was better than Vietnam was from 1975 to 1990. Now Laos is about 30 years behind Vietnam, cause all Laos Leaders want to fill up their piggy banks first before they do something else for the country.

In THE MOST SECRET PLACE ON EARTH, Alfred McCoy stated that before 1975 LAOS did not even have an Economy, LAOS Mornachy regime did not have state Reserve, Aflred McCoy said USA paid 100% for Laos Mornachy. Now LAOS is still a poor country, but has an Economy and its own Reserve.

I believe the state of Laos now is better than before 1975, during that time I had to do my study under petrol lamp, because the insufficiancy of electricity, not enough electricity for towns and cities. I walked to school at that time now kids go to school by motorbikes. If you understand Mathematics, Global Optimization, Deterministc Approaches then Laos in 2011 is far better than before 1975.

Date: Sep 24, 2011

2 persons but telling us the same thing, In Laos: Vientiane-1975 to the present by nfsutton in youtube, and Alfred McCoy in The Most Secret Place on Earth...nfsutton an english reporter told us in his brief video Laos: Vientiane 1975, nfsutton said when the Pathet Lao took over they inherited a Bankrupt state. ( means a country without any money). Alfred McCoy said before 1975 Laos did not have an Economy, a state Reserve, also means Laos did not have any money. Now many people said bad things about Laos being poor but at least Laos people work hard, with their labour and sweat, the country has an Economy and a State Reserve, conclusion Laos people did not sit and do nothing, but work hard and do their best.

Do you know what century is it now? The world is changing to modern and high tech every year. You're right now 2011 Laos is for better than before 1975, how come don't you compare the year 1975 to 1940? or compare today Laos to King Anouvong era? or Fangum era? Laos first had electricity in 1930 in small town in province Savannakheth, that town was a camp or head quarter of French army mane Seno ( say-no ), then in the Royal Palace Luang prabang in 1932, followed in the capital Vientiane in 1934.

Why don't you compare Vientiane to Xamneua during the war time to see which city is look better?

Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia have the same period of time to develop the country after the war ended. How come Laos is a least developed country than Vietnam and Cambodia? Laos is about 30 years behind Vietnam and 20 years behind Cambodia. Laos PDR is not different from old Royal of Laos if talking about develop the country. Laos people are " Khee Khanh Muck Ngay " and SELFISH.

I saw many posts they said before 1975 Laos was better than now. In what way when Alfred McCoy stated that USA paid 100% for Laos Monarchy regime and Laos did not have an Economy, did not have a National Reserve. A bankrupt state is a kind like Greece now, they said Greece needs a Magic Solution to find more than 158 billions to keep country going.

Date: Sep 24, 2011

Alfred McCoy stated that U.S. paid 100% to Laos before 1975 or during the Vietnam war is true but those money wasn't for develop the country, that's using to buy the war weapons and equipments.

The old Laos have no time to build or develop the country because of the war. French built the roads, bridges and the train tracks but, Lao revolution Party army ambushed French Engineers and its construction workers, destroyed all finished built bridges and killed the train tracks builders. Lao revolution party was announced to Lao people and stated that French build the roads and train tracks to transport their forces and weapon for the war against Lao revolution people. There was so many years that French tried to build those projects but they gave up with that and they left unfinished train track that we are still seeing till today's.

The late 60's and early 70's during they build first hydro power dam in Laos ( Nam Nguim dam ) and it was very hard time of war, the old Laos govt. had order 5000 troops to protect the construction site. There was so many times the foreigners and Laotians workers camps got ambushed by the terrorist. The foreigners and Laotians got killed every day until the govt. troops took control Phou Sair ( Mountain Sair ) and pushed the terrorists back to the jungle then everything was setting down.

During the war time, it was no time to build the country neither good side or the bad side. Our country had been torn by the war since after King Souryavongsa era by Siam, Anam, French and America. Laos was almost disappeared from the world map if French wasn't came in Laos and thank's to the Lao revolution Party who fought for our country to get out of Siamese and French colonials.

I read many posts perhaps last year, there are people said that before 1975 LAOS was better than now, even Education, but spare your thought, before 1975 in all Lycees of Laos, french was the main language and Lao language came in second. Now Laos language in schools and univertisities becomes National language. What Alfred McCoy stated that USA paid 100% for Laos Monarchy Regime mean for everything, not just for War, killing... Different time but similar situation, likes Pakistan now, receive billion dollar from USA is for everything not just for War.

In the french history book or in short and brief english reporter, NfSutton in youtube, the french colonists after they had Vietnam as their Territory, they then came to occupy Laos without loosing a bullet, that's what they said. Indochina, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam were flight the french flag, had a single Indochine currency...3 countries already dissapeared.

To say that if french colonists did not occupy Laos, as they did to Vietnam and Cambodia, it likely Laos will be part of Thailand like Isan now. Talking about defend your country against invaders then everywhere is the same, why Australia fought Japan, when japanese planes bombed Darwin, Japan was an Impire in the past like the British Empire, and USA went to war with Japan when Pearl Habour was attacked. Let say if some americans worked for Japan to create in America, then what does Usa history book will tell american after that. Good people or traitors.

Date: Sep 25, 2011

Power in the Pacific, an american document told us, there were 5 Empires in the world in the past. 4 white Empires and 1 asian (Japan) Empire. Their meeting place to talk about their interests was Paris France. That time the 4 Cocasian or white empires always discriminated agaisnt Japan empire because they believed asians race were inferior to them the white. Japan got angry and asked why your 4 had nearly everything ( mean white empires went out and attacked small countries which did not have weapons likes them, and took their countries, into those 4 empires territories) Japan in the end stated that Asia must belong to us Japan....and World War 2 started. Japan started occupy China which at that times controlled by British Empires and other Empires all together 8 countries occupied China...after that Japan went down to occupy Burma, Laos, Vietnam...to Indonesia and attacked Australia, bombed Darwin...bombed Pearl Harbour Usa.

You want loas to be same as singapore? Singapore population is the same as loas but singapore does not have a big land as loas do. So they have to build a taller building. Loas have a massive area with small population so it still fine without tall building. Vietnam need taller building cuz it 13 time loas population.... I know this post was posted at 2010 but now it 2012 lose is seem to be the same while their nieghtbour have all those skyscaper.. even Cambodia have a few skyscaper but Phnom Penh [Capital of Cambodia] is populated with 2.8million people living in just 12km square, so they need it

Date: May 5, 2012

Khonthaket. You told as what loas have but all those thing that loas have such as railways cambodia and bietnam have it 35 years before you and your tallest building is 13floor? well viet is 75 floor and cambodia is 52 floor. I noticed that iPhone came out in loa 1month after viet/cambo/thai got their iPhone... i would rank Thai 1st/Viet 2nd/ Cambodia 3rd/ Loas 4th

Sorry but I have to say that Laos hasn't got any mall . Do you know how big a mall is ? Mall is big enough for you to visit in three days .
Look at these mall in SEAsia metropolitan cities :
Hanoi The Manor mall:

Saigon Cresent Mall : largest mall in SEAsia

Manila Robinson Mall : second largest in SEAsia
Bangkok Mall

Singapore mall :

Jakarta Mall

I think it must take Cambodia and Laos 10-15 years to have a real Mall

INfact Cambodia had alreasy got their mall since 2005 NOT 10-15 years their are 2 big mall and 1 miduim mall now in Phnom Penh Cambodia Soriya and Sovana and City Mall in Phnom Penh.
