Are you sure you're lao 100 percent ? if you're ! how come you do not understand lao people called things differently in each Provinces ? For Exsample: Khon Savannakhet called '' Ban= Heuan, But, Khon Vieng Junh called Heuan Pen Ban. See that !!! if you are lao, you probably understand that and don't make it big deal out of it Please. Another thing i like to point it out,
Southern elderly people don't like to be called ''Mae Tou or Me Tou '' insteat Mae Thao. See that !!!
But if you are really i mean really really lao, you probably understand this kinda thin though...
