I have some foreign friends who visited Laos and they all said the same things: Vientiane, capital of Laos is not modern even compared to Nongkhai, Thailand because most of them came through Nongkhai. Nothing much to see. The air is very dusty because of the dirty road.
They all said that in people should not visit Vientiane.. if they come to Laos.. just visit Luangprang only.
This is absolutely true. At least all the roads in Nongkhai are nicely paved.
in Vientiane .. the roads will be nice when there are big events like Sea Game, ASEAN Submit... after few months, the roads are screwed and no one cares.

You are really an ignorant and a hypocrite. How can you compare a tiny city like Nongkhai to a big city like Vientiane??? The country has been trying to get out of its third world status. Besides, Nongkhai had been developed for several decades when Laos was still in the Vietnam war. Vientiane has begun to develop only since the mid 1990.

What happened during 1975-1990.. the government had not waken up from their dream?
Vientiane is the capital of Laos ok? at least make it clean and pave all the god damn raods around the city too.

So, you are upset because your motherland country is not as developed as you want it to be so that you can be proud of. The truth is there is not much to see in Nongkhai. Nongkhai is just a suburb of Vientiane and a passage for tourists from Thailand to Laos. You have never seen Nongkhai, it's just a small city with one main central road and it's much easier to decorate and take care of in order to attract people from Vientiane to come shopping. Nongkhai exists as it is because of Vientiane.

I don't know how old you are but you sound very naive. You know how long it takes to clean up and build a city from scratch? It takes years and decades to design and build necessary infrastructure. I am not a communist sympathizer but they have done the development of the city. And that needs a lot of money and times.
You live in a western developed country. You can't help much but want the country to develop fast as you want. Use your brain, would you!

Dude... you really want to know why Laos is one of the poorest country in the world? because Laos is living under the corrupted world... you got that? it's corruption that stops Laos from moving forward.
Look at Singapore, it is one of the corruption free in the world and it's the most advanced country in ASEAN. Well you might think it is because Singapore has in a strategic location..well yes, it has advantage. Laos also has advantages... we have a lot of resources...but we are poor. It's obvious that only crooked politicians gain benefits from those resources...
Singapore would have been just like a rural area of Malaysia if it had not been separated..because thier leaders are smart and honest... not corrupted like Laos
I don't expect to see Laos become like Singapore.. ok? I just want the people who run it.. think about the benefits of the people .. not only their own wealth..
We kno that you don't have to compare Ok, as a lao American, I do believe that this Photo look ways better than some of the American towns in America. believe me I've been all over from New Iberia,LA to Vermont Quebec border...
