Ethnic Lao but Chinese citizens. Just like 20 million Lao in Isan. They're Thai citizens speak Thai in public but Lao at home. Eat Sticky rice and papaya salad.

The reason why people migrate is to get better opportunity
for there families. We see it with the Mexicans , Cubans and
many others.My family had to leave cause during the war my dad was a captin.They try to re-educate him in a camp
for 4yrs.I think i would be farming the rice field if we didn't .
I'm very bless to have the opportunity. Wink
