I cannot wait to visit Laos for my first time.  I know many Lao people here in US and they are so nice.  And I understand Laos is such a beautiful country.  I want to see!!!!!!

I'm planning on going back as well, gotta help my villagers out to make sure they have enough food, clean water systems, health care, etc..The problem with a lot of Lao people  living in the US and various countries is that they take things for granted (stingy as hell, talking behind each others back, always showing off).  Make a difference in the world and start helping out.  I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars  out of my own pocket over the years trying to help our people as much as I can, still wasn't enough.  Stop talking about BMW and other high class bs.  The government officials has beautiful homes and nice vehicles, what has that accomplish for the country?  I don't mean to sound like a total jerk, but, I get pissed off when people get side tracked about the real problems our country is facing.

I understand the price tag, but, I don't plan on owning any land/property.  If I had that $300,000 it's going toward the people not some property/land. I have family living there, and the land/property are under their names anyways...If they want to buy land/property it will be under their names.  Same thing when you marry a Lao woman, you can buy any land as long as it's under her name.  Look at the Lao customs, it even states it there...when you marry a Lao national you cannot own land unless it's under his/her name.

If you have a loop hole other than what is stated.  I'll contact you before I head over to Laos in the future.   I'll even stop by to say hello to the Admin if she's not too busy or shy.

Tee, I think those routes you mentioned are probably the best going to Houay Xai.  I had friends whom are from the States and went back to visit their hometown Houay Xai via VTE, they told me it was a trip of hell.

Hey I'm planning to visit Laos pretty soon to. I just got my passport. Yay!!
I heard a lots of good/bad things going on in Laos right now. So I decided to personally see and hear it myself on first hand. And I hope to tour all parts of Laos in 2 months.
