Before the French arrived,there is no Lao or Thai. Lanna,Lang xane are the same people. The same culture and religion. There’s no boundaries between the 2 kingdoms. We worship the same religion. There for these Buddha statues belongs to Lao and Thai Lanna people. Except the statues have to stay in Laos side since we are divided into a separate country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇹🇭🇹🇭🇱🇦
