There are some rich biches in Laos, I even saw this ferrari there while walking around. What I don't get is why you would want to drive one around there, you can only go down one or two streets. I guess it's for the hi-sho.

Very talented individual. He has to drive and balance the wieghts of 6 people equally or else. That is not in Laos? Those folks looked like they are Indonesian/Malaysian/Indian?

I don't think that is in Malaysia . I think it's in indonesia.
You cannot have that bike in Malaysia. I would love to have that bike in Malaysia . :D. .
I am Malaysian and poor people in Malaysia are those who's combined income is below 1k usd. ;) ;) ;) . Per month.
If you live in the city (kuala lumpur) and earn below 1.5 k usd, you are just surviving.

In Thailand 1.5K USD is 45,000 Thai Baht approximately, 20,000 is a Teachers or high paying middle management salary most working Thai are less than 10,000 baht a month I have no idea about Lao wages or salaries. There is something wrong with your equation you can live like a king in Laos for 45,000 Thai Baht.

Hey admin, is that where the Laos gov't hid all the money they got from international aid? I thought they hid it in some Swiss bank acount. I didn't think they were stupid enough to leave it all in cash like some of the other dictators like Sadam Hussein, Gadhafi. Next time you guys take some more pictures like that, let me know when and where okay, thanks.

The Lao Government don't want to pay a cent to banks. They want to see, touch and feel real cash, and not look at numbers.
