I can't say much, obviously, but if many people outside of Laos, including those in high positions, disapprove the plan then something must be wrong.

Longhang, That's true, he had many connections with the current party of Laos. A statue is only statue, I don't really care much about it, but other people will have mixed reactions towards it.

Lao people, especially new generation don't care about Uncle Ho and his propaganda. When they build Uncle Ho statue in Laos. Lao government should also build Laos founding father King Fa Ngum the great or King Chai Chetta statue in Vietnam. So Vietnamese people can learn more about Laos great history and our great leader. We has many great Lao leader for you to choose.

Not Uncle Ho propaganda statue bs.

Agreed. In the near future they'll be no more communism. WWIII might broke out between the West and Norh Korea, Iran, Russia and China.

It looks like Laos will sooner or later become a part of Vietnam and China from what I see. It won't be called Laos anymore. The people have no say in it, and the government are cowardice to say NO. Think of the Casinos built, the Chinese hired Lao people to run it, then afterward fired them all and hired only the Chinese...what's wrong with that picture? As for the Vietnamese statue, it degrades a country as a whole even if it's just a statue. Communist or not you don't let other countries walk over you like that. It's a shame really. Maybe the next step we'll be celebrating only the Vietnamese New Year and traditions.

Think of the Mekong River as well for example, it used to be natural. Do you see any changes? Rocks being dynamited to make way for commerce, and unpredictable water flow controlled by China what's wrong with that? Vietnam is doing exactly the same thing to put their people into place, and trying to remove all the Laotians. It's sad but true.

Lao Lan Xang, The Lao Kings you mentioned didn't have anything to do with Vietnam and Thailand, so building a statue to commemorate them in those countries wouldn't make sense.

Ho Chi Minh, on the other hand, played a role in the establishment of the Lao PDR. As a generation Y person, I am not fussy about the statue, as long as I'm not forced to worship it then I won't lose any sleep over it.

JACKSPADE, In any business, you want the best person to do the job. I've been to the Dansavanh Casino in Laos, and most of the employees are Lao people. It's interesting to read the thoughts of people regarding many things happening in Laos.

I'm just giving example about Thai and Lao king statue. Thai people will not like it if Laos build one of our great leader statue in Thailand. Lao people don't like it either that Vietnam is building Uncle Ho statue being in Laos. But Lao people has no say.

Thank you Uncle Ho for bringing poverty, Communism and culture of corruption to Laos. Under Socialism for over 30 yrs. I though Laos was to be like Singapore by now.

Not only will Thai people disapprove it, but there will be war between Laos and Thailand.

Maybe you should also give a big thank to your Uncle Ho for giving you a good life in the United States.
