So that's what is considered sexy in Laos?
:(

Very sexy Lao models wear it better.
;) :o

She is 'HOT! HOT! HOT!'.

Where did that piece of attired that she's donning come from? From up north? Is it Chinese?

Do they have any REAL prominent designers in Laos?

You are wrong.

Look at the photo again and try to screen out the overflowing hair (which could be a wig for all you know) and the over-applied makeup, and you will see that she is not particularly attractive at all.

Why does Administrator keep posting these pictures of attractive Lao girls in sexy poses?  Is there something going on here I haven't cottoned onto yet?


Old Man

Yes, it looks like she's wearing one of those clip-on extensions.  You can see where her real hair ends and the curly wig comes down from under it.

Isn't this site connected with laobabes.com and laogirls.com?  The links for "forum" on those two sites take you to laopride.com  One of the links on the front page is "How To Kiss A Lao Girl - The art of a French kiss."  Good grief.  For all the talk on here about how great traditional Lao girls are, etc., the amount of blatant skank leaves me a little confused.

I haven't figured it out yet. It seems like a really inefficient dating site/trap. With a pretty decent forum attached.

Maybe Admin could explain what the point of these pictures is, and what the other websites are for.

Maybe Admins is also a business women, and just working for these websites.
;)

BlastSweep, Yes, that's what is considered sexy in Laos. Maybe it's normal in your country.


Larb Dip, We have local designers, but obviously not big on the world stage. It's probably a western fashion that's coming into Laos, Posh Spice wears it too.


Old Man, She is probably not everyone's cup of tea, but she is certainly not the most unattractive women out there.


Abercrombie, It's her real hair, and it's a two layered hairstyle that we call "pom sorng sun" in Lao language. Two layered hairstyles, with one style being short, and one style being long and different, are popular among the younger Lao generation in the city.


JSEA, Other pictures besides Lao ladies have been posted throughout the forum from Lao foods, to festivals and even mud. Laopride.com is part of the Lao network of sites, but I only help them manage this site and Judy Garland's dedication site: Freemusicalecards.com


Laos LXE, I'm just a simple employee on $200 US a month. I don't have a brain for business.

That's reasonable.

Could you tell us a little about the business model the website is built on?  After all, to pay you and to cover the other expenses involved in running the website, the site has to generate an income from somewhere.

I don't see it.

NO I AM NOT WRONG!!! SHE IS 'HOT! HOT! HOT!'.

You're right it does look like a wig. Even her eyelashes look counterfeit like they have been clipped on. ;D If anything, it onlt enhances her beauty. Lets not forget: models are only someone else mannequins, right?
I would still pay for her company. if you know what i mean. ;)

What's the problem with these 'sexy' photos? I am a supporter and am keenly urging her to upload more. :D

I'm just as curious.

Old Man, The people behind the scenes have been in the internet business for over 10 years, so they're experienced campaigners. I won't discuss their income because they don't like it, but they can manage to pay me.


Larb Dip, It's not a wig, I have seen her and also others with two layered hairstyle. One of my relative have EXACTLY the same hairstyle as her, except the second layer is shorter than her. It's a fashion in Laos, maybe you've never seen anything like it in your country.

Why the mystery?  I wasn't asking how much money the 'people behind the scenes' make - just what the business model is.

For example, is it possible to pay to place adverts on the website/s?  The new owners of my resort might be interested in doing so.

Old Man

We don't accept advertisements directly. Those who wish to advertise on Laopride.com can do so, but they need go through a third party called Google Adwords, and their ads will appear on our site, as you can see on our main page.

You're doing a great jobs Admins, $200 a month in Laos is not bad. You should ask for a big raise like $300 a month sound better.  
:o ;)

Very pretty. Admins I think if you put on a dress and make up like these models. You'll look good too.
;) :o

They have other people to pay too, and they have their internet expenses, so the $200 a month is okay.

Admin Saovaluck wrote on 26^th Apr, 2011 at 12:35am:

$200 ok but $300 is better. You should get pay by what you're worth, not by what they tell you. Of course they want to pay you as cheap as they can because it mean more money in their pocket. That's how business work.  
8-)

If I earn $300, then you'll be telling me to ask for $400. Nothing is enough, we always want more income in any job.

Initially, I was paid $100 a month, but they raised that to $200 a month, so I can't complain.

It doesn't hurt to ask. In the U.S worker get a raise every year. We has to think about inflation. When it come to money it's never enough. Even some people with lot and lot of money they still think it's not enough. But they say "no squeak no oil."

They might fire me if I ask them.

"You want $300? Here's the door for you. We can get another person for $100."

It probably depends what job you do to get a pay rise in the U.S.

Very true money is never enough.  As long as you are happy and that is what matters the most.  Do you have options Admin if you want to do something else somewhere?

Yes, there's always options in life.

I've done many jobs in the past, but this is what I want to do because it's more relaxing.

You got easy office jobs. Better then some other worker in Laos. Who might have hard jobs and less pay.
;) :o

You are the best at your jobs, and good as what you do. Your boss know it. You're not replaceable. An intelligent and with good English skilled like you will do very well in the U.S. You can become a nurse or maybe a lawyer here. Nurse make about $65,000 and lawyer make about $100,000 or more.

That's true. Many people in Laos make less than I do.

Nursing jobs sounds okay, but lawyer jobs can be stressful at times.

With your English and pha sa Lao skills, maybe start a travel agency business.  More and more foriegners will visit Laos in the future their will be a huge market for them to hire travel agencies.  

That's a great idea, travel agency business, websites. Or maybe buying selling Lao products online. Lao CD, handcraft, anything that people want to buy. The hardest part is taking the first step.

As Laos economies grow so will income, and wages. Lawyer take about 6 year of college. Nurse take only 2 year, but hard to get in. It's high demand and lot of people are trying to get in. With $65,000 a year slalary that's about $5,000 a month. Accounting also make about $60k for those who like computer or offices work. But cost of living can be higher here.

That's one thing that people like about America opportunity. Everywhere you look and turn there're business, company, manufacturing, corporation. With the right skilled and education. You can pretty much walk in and apply for a jobs and there are plenty. Some jobs are unskilled and don't need education of course pay is lower. Even economy is slow, but in Minnesota unemployment is only 7.5%.

What EXACTLY are you paid to do in regards to this website? I still haven't figured it out yet. :-?

By the way, that nang is a looker. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Do you have any more of her portraits?

I haven't figured out what you are paid to do in your life. I am paid to maintain the website, not that it's important to others.

I want to know, because I want to know. If you don't want to answer, you should just say so. Do go into the 'office' to 'maintain' the website? You could 'work' from home, right?

Who was talking about pay? We are already privy as to how much you earn. $200, right. Is there any surplus at the end of the month? Can one get by in Laos for under $200 a month?

Okay I will say so. I don't want to answer.

$200 is enough for me, because I don't usually go out.

What is 'nang' anyway because you always use the term in reference to Admin :(? Is it something derogatorative?

Pasa doh eng, jao waow Bo pen Bo, ai?
Khaojai yu Bo koy waow yu ne?

Nang literally means girl. If I knew her name, I'd call her that. Why would I write something derogatory? I'm in love with her ;D

You don't speak Lao, bro?

'Pu ying' means girl to my knowledge.  I guess I am from the south-central region of Laos and this is a northern Laos terminology then.  Yes my pha sa Lao is extremely bad.  

"Nang" doesn't mean girl. Would you call your grandma, mother, sister, aunty, female cousin or friend "nang"?

They'll get offended if you called them that. But I'm okay with it.

The nearest translation I can think of for 'nang' is 'Miss' (sometimes 'Madam', but I think 'Nang' mainly reserved for younger women).

And 'poo sai' means man.  You are Mr. Lao4ever, but you wouldn't expect to be called 'poo sai Lao4ever'.

The form when addressing a male is 'Tan' (like 'Mr.).  You would be 'Tan Lao4ever'.

And Admin could be addressed as 'Nang Admin'.


Old Man

With $200 a month, but no house or car payment. It's not enough but what can you do. There's less opportunity and most company will not pay higher then that. You can't just walk to another company like in the U.S and ask for $2,000-$3,000 a month. Average Lao worker make about $100 a month. In the U.S I spend about $250 a month on gas and car insurance alone.

I thought 'tao' was the antonym of 'nang'.

What DOES it mean then? I do call my female subordinates 'nan'; but never my superiors. I'm with old man: it's mainly used when addressing someone MUCH younger than the speaker. If you say it's an ofensive word, then why are you making an exception? Am I missing something? You can tell me anything nang.

I think we've passed the cordial stage in our relationship by now, right. I'm familiar with you; so you too, should be with me. Shall we start using 'goo' and 'ming'? 'Buck Larb Dip' and 'Eee Adminstartor'? How does that sound seaw? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I didn't say that "nang" was an offensive word. What I meant is that you wouldn't call any girl "nang", and it's probably used more by older people when they refer to a young girl. Again, I don't mind if you call me "nang".

Next time I'm in Laos, I'm going to go 'hunting' for my future wife. ;D As soon as someone can tell me what district Vientiane City is in, the sooner I can do my homework, and start conspiring. Anyone know if the city is within walking distance from the Friendship Bridge? It's only 15-20 minutes from my village. It's the best reference I have right now. An operation of this magnitude needs to be carried out with military text book precision. A roll of duct tape, a blindfold, a pair of handcuffs and a Swiss Army pocket knife are essential! She's coming with me in peace or in pieces. I'm not taking "NO!" for an answer! ;D

>>>She's coming with me in peace or in pieces. I'm not taking "NO!" for an answer! ;D <<<

I know it was a joke, but that just does not sound very friendly.

My money is on the Admin and her connections.   :)
