You know Laos was always that way even before the commies came in regards to the poor people. It's just because the country is landlocked and has poor trade opportunities. Many of the poor people live far from infrastructure.

Yea when you have a corrupt goverment it doesn't help either. The people that are well to do is the one that either
relatives or has close ties to them(goverment). There's
no fair share . It would be nice if those driving expensive car
or live in gated community , go out and donate to the poor.
I still blame the commies , screw em.

It's very sad, but still better than Thailand.

I bet they eat healthier than Thais, because they actually eat vegetable. Thais always eat sugary food and trash. They will probably live longer than most Thai people.
If you get a Thai wife she will just make sugar and trash for you to eat while she listens to K-pop and watches lakorns on the television. Thai girls are brainless.

At least they aren't on facebook all day and listening to American/Korean songs like Thais. Thais are the lowest of the low.

This is like heaven compared to being with Thai people.

1, Eating Vegies generates health?

2, I am 100% sure the average life expectance of Thai is longer than that of Laotians living in Laos. ( Health cares plays a part of course)

3, Everyone, of course not in China and North Korea, that crap is banned here. Grin,  in the world is on the facebook checking others open secrecy.

4, 70% of world population if equipped with high speed internet watches USA or South Korean MTV or Season this or Season that. My favourite is Prison Break.  I think young watching Korean MTV is to admire girls shorter shorts.

1. Eating veggies can maintain health if eaten in balance with other foods.

2. Thais always eat sugary food and junk food

3. Not everyone on the world is on facebook. These poor people are lucky in a way because they don't have to be exposed to it. Maybe in 20 years internet will come to them but for now they are lucky and they don't need that trash in their lives. They are living a pure life.

4. It's not natural, it's harmful to our brains to watch such things. Humans are natural creatures as well and we need to be outside and experiencing nature not sitting in front of the television.

These people are blessed in a way, because they still have free lives and they aren't exposed to the filth that is the modern world.

Even the native americans had better lives than Americans do now. They hunted for animals, sat around bonfires, and generally had much more freedom than we do now.

Now Americans live in tiny compartments cramped up against each other in cities and are glued to the couch, computer and TV, slowly rotting away as they get fatter, lazier and more disabled..

Trust me, these people are lucky.

I don't think that girls wearing an old or ripped Lao skirt is considered normal.

When you see things like this do you offer to help or just turn a blind eye?

I can only feel sorry for them but it's not my duty to help because the Lao government runs the country.

First and foremost, I would rather help my relatives. That's more important. You can't help everyone on the streets, there's poor people everywhere.
