I agree with Old Man.

There's a good in every bad. Lets just be grateful we're not uncle Toms to the Thai like our Issan brethren.

Past is the past. Time to move towards the future pinong.

Heres a bit of trivia:

The 'commies' don't even consider our kin across the mekong as Lao any more. I saw it on one of the videos of 1proudLao's Youtube channel. I think all Lao have seen his videos by now.

Heres the quote: 'Kauw pen khon Thai la'. They are Thai now.

Obviously the government officials who have influence don't care. Why should the rest of us?

I have to agree with you on this one. 'Issan' spelling and pronunciation are very close to 'Insane' Cheesy

. Laos sounds uniquely better.

Isan mean northeast. They trying to confuse people with the name that Isan is not Lao. Isan was not allow to learned, write or speak Lao at school.

Actually all Mekong river is Laos and Vientiane was in the middle of Laos. They moved Laos capital to Vientiane to escape from Burmese invasion.
Cool

Agreed we can learn from the past mistake and moved forward. Laos was invaded, exploited and control because there were no unity within 30 million Laotian. We can forgive but not forget.

When you country is colonized, and control by foreigner there's more bad then good. Vietnam control Laos since 1975 well our county is still the least developing nation as a result. Our education system, health care, economy is behind our neighbor.We were control by foreigner then we're still control by foreign now.

Issan know they're Lao, they speak Lao, eat padak and khao neo. I been to Isan visiting relative in Udon Thani when I was a kids. Isan village is no different then Lao village, same culture, food, language.

That's true since the fall of Chao Anouvong. The whole Laos territory was annexed and colonized by Thailand. That's why Lao Royal family ask French to come in and help, but they end up colonized us. Same with Vietnam we ask them to help fought Vietnam war. Now we are colonized by them. Same old same old. History keep repeating itself when will LAO ever learn.

If not because of the French we will be Thai Issan East, and West of Mekong River right now.

China, Thai, Vietnam all took Laos territory. I don't trust nobody they all have their own agenda.

I have an agenda. When I get all the details everyone is free to join us for the reception, even you Larb Dip. It is going to be quite party. By the way, did I ever tell any of you all that large numbers of people make me very nervous? I have about 29 days to get over that.
