Lao refugee fleed Laos because they want to turn their back from the violent and looking for the better life for their families and better education for their children and the most important are democracy, freedom and human being right.(ປະຊາທິປະໃຕ,ສິດເສຣີພາບຂອງຄວາມເປັນຄົນ).
Wothout Laotian who live in other countries , there will be less people to know about Laos and without sending the monies back home to support their families and relatives back in Laos. The living condition of the relative and families will be worst. Because Lao government does not have any welfare program , and medical program for the poor.
Lèse majesté, i.e. the crime of violating majesty, has been prohibited by the Law of Thailand since 1908.[1] In 1932, when Thailand's monarchy ceased to be absolute and a constitution was adopted, it too included language prohibiting lèse-majestè. The 2007 Constitution of Thailand, and all seventeen versions since 1932, contain the clause, "The King shall be enthroned in a position of revered worship and shall not be violated. No person shall expose the King to any sort of accusation or action." Thai Criminal Code elaborates in section 112: "Whoever defames, insults or threatens the King, Queen, the Heir-apparent or the Regent, shall be punished with imprisonment of three to fifteen years." [2] Missing from the Code, however, is a definition of what actions constitute "defamation" or "insult".[3] As mentioned in the Criminal Code, lèse majesté only applied to criticism of the King, Queen, Crown Prince, and Regent. Tanin, a former Supreme Court justice, reinterpreted this as a blanket ban against criticism of royal development projects, the royal institution, the Chakri Dynasty, or any Thai King.[4] The reinterpretation has stood to the present day. Moreover, the Supreme Court of Justice of Thailand decided in 2013 that the term "king" in section 112 of the Criminal Code also applies to the past or deceased monarchs, not only the reigning monarch.[5]
From 1990 to 2005, the Thai court system only saw four or five lèse majesté cases a year. From January 2006 to May 2011, however, more than 400 cases came to trial, an estimated 1,500 percent increase.[6] For example, there were 478 cases in 2010 alone.[7] Observers attribute the increase to King Bhumibol's public invitation of criticism in 2005, increased polarization following the 2006 military coup and speculation over Bhumibol's declining health.[6] Jail terms for Thai citizens committing lèse majesté are usually harsher than for foreigners.
Cases are often filed by state authorities or by individuals, and anyone may take action against anyone else. In one notable incident during the 2005–2006 political crisis, deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his political opponent Sondhi Limthongkul filed charges of lèse majesté against each other. Thaksin's alleged lèse majesté was one of the stated reasons for the Thai military's 2006 coup.[
Yes, you probably right about that Dude. But, Please don't forget these provincial Soccer Team went to Europe not because of Laos or local government sent them there, Its private organization(Charity) from European country that help sent them there. Yeah I do proud of them, look like none of these kids from a National team either just from a local team from the Northern most of Laos. So i have to give a credit the man who organized the raising fund for them to make it to the Europe.
Please don't try to give a credit to PDR government, they ain't do anything for these kids, Zero........

The next in line is Sia O (Crown Prince) and then his son, and then E Tom Siridhorn (Crown Princess). So this swollen lipped princess will have to wait for a while. There's no need to worry.

It is not matter who will be the next king or Queen . The Lèse majesté protect all the king family
members and relatives. So don't break the law unless you will never want to visit Thailand. You
must repect the law of the land if you still want to visit Thailand.

I gotcha. But while I'm still in the US, I will voice out my opinion as guaranteed by the 1st amendment.
I despise the Thai monarchy. I don't approve of the lese majeste law because it's against democracy. It is immoral to force people to love the monarchy (you can only say nice things to the royal family). This is similar to what ISIS is doing now. They're forcing people to share their belief. If other people don't believe what ISIS believe, these innocent people get killed.
Similarly, 112 criminalize innocent people and some end up dying in prison like A Kong.
