  • just because a country is poor does't mean it can't beautiful in other ways....I think that's what they are talking about. I've been there before too, and it's still poor and for the most parts it's still undevelope, but it is beautiful in the sense of culture and spirit.

  • It called ViengChanh. NOT Vientian. I think the Laos government need to change to a correct word in Laos "ViengChanh".

  • When the French take over almost 100 years ago they dont even care about developed the Lao country and help the laos peoples with education. Every country they want to take everything from Laos and never want to help or support Laos peoples. Please look at the history.

  • @loso0008 Please compare Lao country to other country. Yes, Lao is poor. But remember our country have been destoryed by the French, Thais, Vientnam and Burma many century. I believe we are slowly growing and will get better.

    Please have more compassion and be kind to yourself.

    No matter what peoples say bad thing about Lao. I don care, because i love my peoples and our ancestor had been suffering so much. We should supports each other no matter what.

  • Living in poverty and living with very little resourse though have enough food etc....one has to distinguish....

    Yes, quite complex isn't it. I didn't see any outright Communist influence, besides some flags hanging outside on buildings & houses. what does that mean? for me nothing. Laos is also Buddhist and the peaceful relaxed nature of the people, I saw that in character. Americans cry about Communism and yet most people in the world do NOT trust Americans anymore I trusted Laotians

  • @xrcjpx

    Hi there friend, I do see your point. To me, however one chooses to live one life is totally up to that person. As long as there is a questioning on why am i doing this or why am i doing that. This asking of why is what is lacking iin the thought process of lao people. And its very much the same with the way they practice buddhism.

  • Wow! Looks like fun! Did you ride the elephants on the beach yet? I would love to vacation in Laos!

  • you look bored with this trip

  • cont'd from early post:

    So the question is " Why do we lack this reflective or questioning habit ". In my opinion, We have not had systems where questioning and reflecting are encouraged, or where they force us to question and reflect. It is sad that until today, i dont believe the communist see this and urgently try to do something about it.

    Thank you for reading and sharing,

  • cont'd from the previous post:

    That kind of questioning and reflection is what's missing or not stressed in laotian mental habits. This habit of not asking and reflecting, I believe, is not some recent traits that lao ppl just acquire. They have been with us for a long time, way before the communist take over. The communist goverment is just another hindrance, not the sole factor that prevents laos and its ppl from waking up from mental and physical growth.

  • continued from previous post:

    But before one can truely learn or truely grow, there must be this kind of thinking where one starts to ask questions such as: why, what, when, where, how. For examples: one might ask: how am i going to live this life ; what am i trying to achieve in this life; what kind of a nation do we want to have; what is its goals. Why r we poor. U get the idea. I think this is the beginning of clarity, purpose, and direction, beginning of true learning & growth

  • KJEboys/Cherry,

    I want to be clear from the outset that I'm here to share my thoughts and insights. Not with the intention to sound " I'm right you're wrong " kind of thought.

    Agree that lacking of education could cause one to not think critically/analytically. I think we need to be clear on what education is. For many laotions it means academic learning, going through schools. To me, learning comes from all sorts of ways, i.e life experiences, daily activities. U name it.

  • Regarding your comment -- "Laotian completely do not think about corruptness in the government/country..."

    As a Laotian..heck as a human being who would not think about it? The question is WOULD ANYONE DARE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT? The answer to that is NO! The communist government would come down so hard on anyone that speaks out...whether it's against corruption or for freedom and democracy! For example in China, Tianamen Square in 1989..where the student rally for democracy was crushed!

  • Here's where I disagree:

    Lack of education is NOT "caused by poverty." Poverty is the direct consequence of lack of resources and government programs to help those less fortunate. The government failing to provide education and training and funding programs for the people. It all rolls up to the communist idealogy! That is the root cause! But then again...look how far China has progressed the last decade...and they're a communist state!

  • Not sure if they knew why they took power; If they saw the causes that held the country from being a better country; If they understood the causes and took the necessarry steps to correct the problems. I care about laos cuz i'm lao. In my view, I will consider Laos to be a rich country if we can turn most of its citizens into a bunch of people that are capable of using the brains and able to think for themselfs even if we dont have a single car or a big highrise

  • there is a very slow development both in terms mental and physical developments. That is why there is a huge gap between the rich elites and majority poors. These conditions will not change anytime soon. At the present moment i really cant see the agents of change. There is very little sources of info to change the thinking pattern w/in the country. The communist leadership? well they have been in power for over 30 years. You assess their performance on your own.

  • laos held many fond memories for me. the people i met were really hospitable and generous. a lively bunch of people. but those were the college students. i haven't been around to see the rest of laos but the people i met were mostly great.

  • Cherrybaby8,

    i commend you for your good-heartedness for giving your time and sharing your knowledge with lao ppl. Laotians certainly are very nice. However, behind this niceness, I believe, there is a huge lacking in analytical and crittical thinking. This lacking is present in almost every aspect of their life. 1 thing i like about the west is that critical thinking is the foundation on which their thought process is based. The culture of not using their brain is the main reason why

  • i agree completely with what you're saying. i actually think it's the simple-mindedness of laotians. in a third-world country, how complicated can one get? people lead simple lives. which is good but the simple-mindedness and this huge lack of thinking is the reason why laos is not going to progress very much as a country. how sad.

  • Cherry/Loso,

    To an extent I agree with your comments. To add, I would attribute the lack of or deficiencies in analytical/critical thinking may be due to the lack of education!

    That's the point of communism correct? Keep everyone simple minded, living the peasant life..while those in power can maintain control!

    Any comments?

  • agreed! which is also why there's no macdonalds in laos:p hah just had to say that. as we go back, the lack of education is caused by the poverty and communism. and how the laotions completely do not think about corruptedness in the government/country and completely support the idea of communism without actually knowing what it is, if that makes sense.

  • I have so much to say about laos. Thats because I care about it. Many laotians i know dont seem to care about their motherland. I believe far too many ppl, both inside and outside of the country, dont pay attention to the current state of the country and the direction it is heading in the future. The main reason for this is the fact that most r highly uneducated. They dont even know where their own life is heading, let alone caring about where the country is going.

  • i never knew about those people! i went to laos to teach college students english. they were really patriotic! but agreed, lots of them has no idea where they're going in the future.

  • the view and everything in Lao are similiar to Cambodia. It's remind me of Cambodia when i watch this video.

  • Yes, I agree with you. Laos and Cambodia are very similar.

  • they will not catch up because of communisme regime.

  • wow what a quaint little/big city! i'll be visiting later this year and your video is very helpful. now i know i'm not getting into an over crowded mess!

  • Thanks You Soo much for posting this video, i am glad you had such a great time......Seeing this video just made me want to go visit beautiful Laos!!!! A lot of my friends went there and they all had wonderful memories, Thanks for your time and effort for this amazing video.

  • I've been to Vientiane. But I don't like about the city is that city development seems doesn't progress that much. And they don't even have a proper taxi service for tourists. The hotels are so limited and the roads have so many potholes. Perhaps something has to been done to speed up development like the other Asean countries.

  • blame the poor leadership, infrastructure, and corruption. a lot of the leaders of laos look out for family and friends rather than the future of the nation.

  • Of course I love and like my country, but I don't like the Lao Dang Communist regime and what they did to ex- leaders and the king.

    They are corrupting and destroying the Lao nation.

  • hey! I love Laos. It's the best.

    they have everything that I like ,specially all the people in this country are very kind, they have the best test of the food and the nature is so beautiful..I live in America but I love this country...... who ever doesn't like this country just shut your ass hole up... do not even say a word..

  • loso0008,

    You should be happy and proud of your country when other people are interested in seeing your country. I don't know why you brought a politic issue in here. People going to Laos just to enjoy their life experience. If you are Laos, you should not say that to your country. You are so dum and stupid. Can you be a little bit smarter than this. My little brother 4 years old is 10 times smarter than you.

  • You just made a pretty racist comment about us. When we visited Laos, it was to see it and to enjoy its nature - you can't deny that it has some beautiful nature. This was not a political video or a documentary. If the video makes people discuss some of the things that are not right in Laos, then that's a good thing. Please don't judge us just because we went to Laos to see it - at least we know where your country is, and we tried to learn something about it.

  • don't mind that Loso0008 animal comment...So loso0008 I know you're not Laos you're just trying to make us Laos look bad coz if I were you I would be ashame of myself too..nobodys wanna fucking talk bad about their country rich or poor I still Love Laos and No I am no ashame of my conutry like your dumb ass..I bet you you're one of those people who's trying so hard to be someone else just so that you can fit in huh... I feel sorry for you!!!

  • if loso0008 is in the states like i am, most of the 1st generation lao seem to be gangster and have no cultural heritage other than yelling out lao pride and throwing out gang signs. that would make me very ashamed of my heritage, living in the states.

  • @jonathanchambers,

    i think loso0008 is hmong in the US.

  • What the fuck are you talking a bout. Are you talking a bout your own set. if you are can't see laos is going better then you think just shut your ass ho up... don't for get what is different between you and Lao people, what do you eat, do you eat rice? if you eat rice then shut the fuck up YOU ARE THE SAME ASS HO.....buck ma kee hean...... pai tai sa ter.....

  • why don't you shut the hell off? Buck Ha Mueng, if u like them ( Pourk Phu Num Ma Communist) why don't you go back to them. Most of Lao people who escaped from them because they hate Ma Communist.
