Have you been to Issan, have friends or relative there? There are over 22 million Lao people living in Issan, but only 6 million in Laos.

Many Lao people have relatives in Issan. Some regions in Issan is poorer than Vientiane.

Laos should ask Vietnam to help take Issan territory back. Then Laos will be powerful enough to kick Vietnam out of  Laos later. Just kidding heheh

Most Issan are still poor. That's why red shirt protest and burn down Bangkok. Many has no choice but to work in sex industry. I want to see Lao people worldwide unite. Issan and Laos as one country. Strength in number. Laos and Issan as one country would double Laos territory and population from 6.8 million to about 30 million strong Laotian. Yes I also want to see 75,000 Vietnam troop to get out of Laos too.

Sometime dream do come true. Let wait and see. Civil in Thailand might broke out any day now. Some in Issan, in Chaing Mai want independent from Bangkok rule. I wish them luck. That's also why muslim in the South are fighting Bangkok government. They want independent too.

I think Vietnam don't want Laos to unite with Issan because it's easier to control 6.8 million Lao people then 30 million. Nothing personal just politics.

Most do love the king but not everybody, that is why red shirt from Issan protest. They waving former PM Thaksin picture and T-shirt because he help Lao people in Issan. They love Thaksin and want him to come back. Rich in Bangkok discriminate against Lao people in Issan. That how its in the world not just in Thailand, rich look down on poor. If talk bad about Thai King they will jail you up to 15 year. Waving Laos flag around in Thailand probably get you kill. Thai government don't like Socialist. Nothing personal just politics. Lao were not allow to speak or write in Laos language. Thailification and brainwashing. If I was brainwash like that all my life. I probably love Thai king and wave Thai flag too.

Its about rich vs poor. I hope red shirt win election so Lao people in Issan, Puea Thai Party can be in power so they can run Thailand and Thai government again. Life was better for Lao in Issan when they were in power. Yellow Bangkok can't beat red shirt in election. Issan has the largest voting population in Thailand. Go red shirt, UDD, PTP. Lao worldwide stand up and united.

I wish red shirt luck on the next election. Everthing was better in Thailand when red was in power. Red shirt has supporter throughout Thailand, and supporter in Bangkok. Many Lao live and work in Bangkok. There are more Lao speaker in Bangkok then in Laos. About 40% of Thailand population are LAO about 25 million.
