I used to cared for Laos, the way Lao in Laos bad mouth Lao abroad mostly from America made me felt like they do not think of Lao Americans is also Laotians and we share the same feeling and that's love/concerned for Laos.
But not all Lao in America helping their country. Only some are willing to help while most of Lao-Americans are always bleming governement.
Some suggest Lao people in the country to strike against Communist government ????
Well, if this is the best solution to improve Laos then they could have done it during 60s 70s rather than swam the mekong abandon their homeland.
WELL SPEAKING OF THE PAST!! YOU'VE STATED THAT" LAO PEOPLE SWAM THE MEKONG ABANDON THEIR HOMELAND." LOL YOU CAN TWIST THIS INFO ANYWAY YOU WANT, BUT THE WHOLE WORLD ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED AND KNEW THAT LAO PEOPLE FLED THEIR COUNTY FOR THE SAME REASON AS THE CAMBODIANS AND VIETNAMESE, FLED THEIR HOMELAND , CAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE KILL BY THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT THAT INVADED THEIR COUNTRIES DURING 1975. iT WAS BROD-CASTED/ TELEVISED WORLD WIDE THAT COMMUNIST GOV HAVE PEOPLE SLAUGHTERED AND THREW THEIR BODIES IN MEKONG RIVER MOSTLY WERE HIGH RANK OFFICER AND EDUCATED PEOPLE, THEY WERE KICK OUT FROM THEIR OWN HOMES, THOUSANDS WERE PUT IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND EVENTUALLY EITHER DIE FROM ILLNESSES OR KILLED BY COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT, THE LIST GOES ON.....JUST IMAGINE...................... THE"HOLOCAUST" IN SOME PART OF ASIA . RIGHT NOW YOU'RE MAKING THE WORLD LAUGHING AT YOU AND YR GOVERNMENT BY STILL BLAMING AND BAD MOUTHING LAO ABROAD OF WHAT HAPPEN IN THE PAST.
I see, what a shame !!! My father was also a secretary of 'KO-LO-NAN KHAM BOO', but didn't swam the river... KO LO NAN KHAM BOO (my father's master) was jailed because he didn't go to Viangxai re-education centre. But my father didn't have to go.
By the way, I don't know what is the level of KOLONAN ???

Your dad have earned an honorific title as a minor titular official that's " colonel " ( kolonan ) who is above a lieutenant and below a brigadier general for column of soldiers. Your father was very lucky, are you and your family still in Laos? as for me I was glad my dad have fled if he didn't for sure he would be killed as a high rank officer

I miss read your comment. So your dad was colonel Kham Boo's secretary not the other way around. My dad knew colonel Kam Boo too! and so what does your dad do now, are you n your family still in Lao?
Yes, my Dad was the one that Colonel Kham Boo trusted most (his personal nurse), and yes, our family is in Laos my Dad didn't want to leave the country and so my mum, but I am now studying in overseas.
The communist government doesn't care who he was as long as he contribute into country development (the same for others former government)
My dad was alo nominated a head of the party member at village level but he is retire now but still leads and consults the party member of village.
He told me that Kham Boo was jaild in Somke and died about 15 years ago....
By the way, I am sorry that I spell awful about Colonel etc... as my dad's mentioned like French accent so I just wrote after his word...

As long as I can read it, that's ok, people don't really care much about missed spelling on INTERNET and that was just my explanation to your question below your comment that's all.
