Laos can dream... Another 10,000 years... My uncle used to tell me that he and Lao & Viet comrades would be one day in Bangkok have a dinner there... What he meant, when Thailand becomes Communists and they would be enjoyed the feast in BKK... 555555... Isan is bigger than Laos now... 22 million vs 7 million, respectively... Isan could form its country and more modernized than Laos as of today... How many Lao works in BKK now? 200K, minimum... Build your country first, Lao dudes... .
