Melly Chlistmat to everyone even though I don't celebrate it cause i'm not christian, I just celebrate it for the peace in the world and a time for giving. Hope to see more Laos people on this board in the new year. By the way admin, your picture is looking scarier.

Laos does not celibates the Xmas any way.
We do in American and Christianity countries.

? to Adm: Does Laos have the freedom of religion?
Christmas is time for LOVE, PEACE and Beginning of new lives. :)

Some people in Laos celebrate Christmas, but we don't eat turkeys and put presents underneath Christmas trees. Laotians celebrate Christmas in a different way.

Yes, people can follow any religion or belief they wish in Laos.

Ho.......Ho.........Ho

Merry Christmas to you (all)

I am Budhist/3times Baptize Christian/4yrsMuslim.

Does Laos has the freedom of speech?
Free election?

If the answers : No, that mean you guys still living in the cave(Jail)

We only have one political party so obviously it doesn't make sense to have an election.

I'm actually happy that the general public is not obliged to vote politics. I have important things to do in my time than lining up outside waiting to cast a vote.

Seem to me, You're alway have an answers for everythings.

Forgive me if I had insulted you,
     Dallas Siharath( Peace ) :)

I have answers for most things.   ::)

Seem to me you never ran out answers.

That why I had said: you should run for president of Laos. I will support you 1000%. Then our country will be better; and all exile Laotians will go back home ( Home Sweet Home )

Don't you guys had ever thouhgt we want to go back home?
Maybe not ha, I want to go home badly but I can't. America, Cannada,Australia,France and etc is not our homes(Land).

Can you help me please.All you have to do is be a PRESIDENT of LAOS.

I am the "worthless laotian refugee" just like you had said:
I don't want to be traitor, patikan or terrorist in near future.
Think about it Ok, if we have no choice what do you think we're going to be(we have no Land,Home,Country).

Peace will be upon who seek peace

In order to have any chance of becoming president, I need to be a member of the party, and I need to be an established member so that the officials will vote for me. No thanks, it's a stressful job to be president.

What's stopping those in exile from going back home to Laos now? What's stopping you now?

I was only joking about the "worthless Laotian refugee" comment. Please don't take it personal.

Have you ever heard about Death List. for this reason many of us can't go back home at all. For what I had kwew in the US; there is no more Patikan( anti-lao communist) they are no longer existing. I was the one (back in 1980-82) we just getting tired of B-sh*t , Same Old, Same Old. That why I quit. There is no good reason to doing it. But you guys over there didn't thought that way.
We shown Love you shown Power
We quit but you didn't
To me war is over; by gone should be by gone.
To you I really do not know.

I don't think "many" is the right word. Maybe "some" of you can't go back home.

Thousands of Lao people who live overseas come to visit Laos every year.

Some Lao Patikan still exist in foreign countries, but they don't intend to start war. They are friendly people who just dislike the Lao communist.

Tell me why some of us can't go back home?

The war was OVER. Past was Past.
What the heck is wrong with your government?
Scare some one might get the thron back.

Can you run a quick check for me; If my last name are:

1. Sananikone
2. Nachumpasack
3. Sayyaseang
4. Siharath or Setthathirath

Tell me which one Ok.

I don't know why some of you can't go back home, could possibly due to their activities in the past.

Yes the war is over, but some of you could return home and be up to something no good.

The Lao government has no way of knowing if they've changed, so if you can't enter the country then you can't enter forever.   :'(

Past was past; By gone should be by gone.
Just like I had said: " we changed but you didn't"
                            " we shown love but you shown the power(hatre)"
                            " we lost and you won"
One thing I do believe, Maybe the your current leaders are not Laotians.If this the case we are in the dip sh*t( trouble).

Let me tell you about real Lao Blood, we have ( symphathy,generosity,easily,forgive and forgave,love and care,lazy and corrupt, and do not like violence) these are in our blood. If these are inside of you then you are a real Laotian.

In the US there is no more Lao-Patikan, There are only Lao-Lux-Zard. we've help raised the money and sent to Laos to build the schools and temples. We shown our love to our people back home. We are not Lao-kai-Zard( traitor or patikan).
The Lao-Kai-Zard are living in Laos. They are selling our nature resources to the neighboring countries. These are Lao-Kai-Zard.

Think about, I had said these right or wrong. :'( :'( :'( :( :( :(

You can rest assured that the current leaders are Laotians who were born in Laos.

I heard that some Lao communities in foreign countries don't get along well with each other. People used to socialise and everything was happy, happy, together during the early years of their arrival but now the friendships have turned ugly. Maybe you have seen these situations.

You're right again...."They don't get along". Let me put it this way; Just like you and I "We have different point of view." Too many groups and too many ideas. Each of us proclaim to be the righteous one. And this is free country. ppl from North tend to stick with the Northerners,so too the Southerners are the same. Hmong don't socialize with Lao that much.They're proclaimed they are not Laotians; But that Ok.

That why I don't want to see the Laos to be like them ( no land, no country) and those left behind in the jungle of Laos are being hunting down like animals. This is sad. "Don't denied it."

The year of 2035, we( including U) are going to be like them( Exile )

The population of Laos is increasing every year, so there will still be Lao people living in Laos by the year 2035.

However the number of "pure" Lao people will decline. This is because many Lao people will marry outside their race, so as the years go by we will see alot of Lao people with mixed race.

Laos has now opened its doors to the outside world and more people from different ethnic backgrounds are now settling in Laos and starting a new family.

Wow, sound like you're married to white boy
Correct me if I am wrong

I do understand, I won't blamed you guys
"Do whatever it take to survive" if you have to marry the Niggar and do it.

Love those who Love you,
   Lao-Dallas,Tx USA

Sounds like you are married to a Thai dark Lah because you have a habit of calling westerners "farang".   :)

We are seeing many mixed Lao-western and Lao-Vietnamese people in Laos already.

Black people are usually very polite so I always treat them nicely.

No, I never been married, single.
You are very funny, ha ha ha
My dad from That luang and mom "Pu tai "(savannnaket)
So I am "Pu Lao dark kao"

Hay, Please do not get mad at me OK. I just want to see how you're going to handle it.

Be kind to those who kind to you,

There is an old proverb that goes "Thai dark Lah, Camen hee dum, Lao dark kao."

I didn't known you're dirty. you are mean girl.
I never heard of those word"thai dark lah,camen hee dum,lao dark kao" what's meaning of these? Can you translate in english?

I better not because it's inappropriate.

I'm not mean, it's just a popular saying by Lao people from along time ago.

This website you'd created just to be one man shown right?
you had used the word " we " but its only " you "; I didn't see an other persons were involved in here( ONLY YOU )

May I ask, is that you in the picture? I don't know why the lady in that picture are staring at me all the time. Its looking weird,if this is really you; Wow, you are mamasita with the beautiful eyes.

felis navidas,

This website can be compared to a movie.

Behind the scenes, there's many people (cast and crew) involved and working together before a movie is finished and released for the public to see.

My task is to administer this forum. We have other people who contribute in different ways in the operation of our website but they are just not part of this forum. Our website is about team work, that's why I say "we".

Yes, it's me. I'm staring straight into the camera lens and not purposely staring at you. I'm sorry about causing any discomfort.

I knew is you. you are very very beeaauutiful and look like Chinese to me( Nee How Maa, Nee How Meua) if you don't mind, may I ask: Are you married? if Yes, next time when I talking to you I have to so difference respect Ok.

Why are you staring at me with the sharply eyes ?  ::) :o ::)

Thanks for the compliment. I have a boyfriend. Every Lao person looks like someone from another country. People never say that he or she looks like Lao.
