Vietnam herself is a poor country so do Thailand . They come to invest in Laos because they don't want China to have toatlly control 100% in business in Laos.
What a stupid comment. Thailand came out of a 'Poor Country' status on UN's list some 20 years ago -- but Vietnam and Laos are yet to do so. Ask Google to compare the GDP rates of the three neighbouring countries.

Thailand is clearly richer than Vietnam and Laos. In terms of living standard, it is higher in Thailand than in each of China, Vietnam and Laos.
They come to invest in Laos because all of them see opportunities. If they don't see good benefits from their investments none of them would bother to come invest in Laos. They would go somewhere else. No brotherhood, no special friendship, blah, blah, blah. That's fact!!!
