Its depending whom you asking ? if you're asking Lao Chinese and they probably say China.
If you're asking Lao Vietnamese, you know your answer already.
if you asking Lao Thai and you already kno the Answer...
As for my self, i have to say my close relative is Thais... Even though we sometime do a fighting word or war of word but there's nothing serious... that's the norm of human being...
All the Chinese, Viet and Thai become exploiter if you are weak, that's why they are richer and more developed than Laos and try to control Laos
They actually look down on Lao people and any people who appear weak in their eyes.
Are you even Lao at all? Real Lao people would not think like you.
Japanese pretty much depending on USA ever since they lost the war, American set up almost everything for them , South Korean pretty much depending on USA ever since Korean War and helped South Korea stand on their feet. China's economic rising up because they opened the door the West and the rest of the world and so is Vietnam...
Where have you been brother ? how could Laos stand on her on feet when majority of her people don't even have much educated and not enough resources... How ?

You are talking about after WWII.
After the French colonization, we depended on France for education and everything. That was several decades ago.
Now, Laos is an independent country, as are Vietnam and Cambodia. Each on their own. We cannot depend on others forever and should now be on our own feet like the Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
There really no FRIENDS at all. If you think you need friends you will be exploited of your natural resources and forests as the Viet have been doing to Laos. Only weak people want "friends".
Laos should cooperate with all its big neighbors for its growth and development, including China, Vietnam and Thailand.
