I'm planning on going back as well, gotta help my villagers out to make sure they have enough food, clean water systems, health care, etc..The problem with a lot of Lao people  living in the US and various countries is that they take things for granted (stingy as hell, talking behind each others back, always showing off).  Make a difference in the world and start helping out.  I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars  out of my own pocket over the years trying to help our people as much as I can, still wasn't enough.  Stop talking about BMW and other high class bs.  The government officials has beautiful homes and nice vehicles, what has that accomplish for the country?  I don't mean to sound like a total jerk, but, I get pissed off when people get side tracked about the real problems our country is facing.

I think we would all like to go back to Laos and "help" our own country but I cannot afford the $300,000 price tag that the so called commie lao gov't has imposed on lao outsiders. So tell me now who are the greedy lao people? By the way, you don't need to spend thousand of dollars to "help" Laos, you can help in other ways like teaching or volunteering.

I understand the price tag, but, I don't plan on owning any land/property.  If I had that $300,000 it's going toward the people not some property/land. I have family living there, and the land/property are under their names anyways...If they want to buy land/property it will be under their names.  Same thing when you marry a Lao woman, you can buy any land as long as it's under her name. Smiley  Look at the Lao customs, it even states it there...when you marry a Lao national you cannot own land unless it's under his/her name.

I have never been to Houay Xai, it's best way to go via Thailand? I mean fly to Chiangmai and take bus to Chiangkhong and cross the river to your home town?

Tee, I think those routes you mentioned are probably the best going to Houay Xai.  I had friends whom are from the States and went back to visit their hometown Houay Xai via VTE, they told me it was a trip of hell.

Sounds like your first trip back to Laos?  I can be wrong but judging by the way you asked questions... Must be a "virgin"..  Grin
