I am a bit confused about the Nong Khai / Vientienne split.

Also confused why 2 of the 3 ancient drums are in Thailand and 1 in Laos.

Also confused as to the Issues of Chieng Saen.

also, confused about Easarn as Easarn is Laos and Khmer (Cambodian).

It's not that Vietnam doesn't want Laos to unite with Issan. Issan doesn't want to unite with Laos themselves.

I don't see any people living in Issan waving the Lao flag around. They love their King, and everytime they visit Laos they are wearing "I love Thailand" t-shirts or they have an emblem in honor to the King of Thailand. They don't want anything to do with Laos.


Most do love the king but not everybody, that is why red shirt from Issan protest. They waving former PM Thaksin picture and T-shirt because he help Lao people in Issan. They love Thaksin and want him to come back. Rich in Bangkok discriminate against Lao people in Issan. That how its in the world not just in Thailand, rich look down on poor. If talk bad about Thai King they will jail you up to 15 year. Waving Laos flag around in Thailand probably get you kill. Thai government don't like Socialist. Nothing personal just politics. Lao were not allow to speak or write in Laos language. Thailification and brainwashing. If I was brainwash like that all my life. I probably love Thai king and wave Thai flag too.



I'm confused about what you are asking, and also I'm confused about you as an human being with a sick mind.

What are you confuse about? Let me explain. There are over 22 million ethnic Lao living in Thailand, but less then 4 million in Laos. Northeast Thailand, Isan region was Laos territory until 1907 when Thailand annexed. French give Isan to Thailand and Laos has no say in 1907. Back then Laos was part of French Indochina.

i bet the lao king sold the land to the french because thats usually how colonist work, they come into the land, give a very huge lump of money to the king or queen for that land and colonize it. of course some colonist take land by force but due to the fact that the french gave it away to thailand probably means they have the right which goes back to what i stated as they bought the land cuz i mean colonist like the french are quite technical and even if they did take land by force they made someone sign something. believe it white men are smart when it comes to taking things. anyway issan sounds like a nice vacation place wouldn't you say  Grin hahaha
