It’s very true, I used to live in Laos and my aunt lived in Chiang Samg. I remembered crossing Mekong river back and forth from Laos to Thailand. No visa or permission needed before 1975.
A long long time ago Lao and Thai were one family, even today still speaking the same language. Lao and Thai please love and respect each other for life please 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸
