How about people sing Thai song/ listen to Thai songs everywhere during Lao new year?
It's more appropriates to song Thai song than Vietnamese's song during Lao( not really necessary!) Being that Lao and Thai have very similar language, costume, tradition, and religion!
Do dog eating viets have a new year that they celebrate? I see them celebrating chinese new year like wannabe's. Most of them tell me they don't like being vietnamese cause they are ashamed of their own culture. I can understand why.
