Re: why we bow our heads to thai royal and not lao royal



comm'on phainam-muang, you can't compare the thai king, who has
everything in his power for all of his life to our refugee prince, who
has nothing even a small sympathy from people like you it's hard for
him to get.

his crown prince father, his grand father king and families members
were captured and killed. his mother, sister and brother are still
hold hostage in today laos.....

if you want to see lao people put up his picture in lao house, you
have to do it too. like i said before, "it's up to the people, the lao
people like you and me.

Thai princess visits Laos

Thai Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn arrived in Vientiane on Sunday
for a four-day official visit to Laos from November 25-28.
President Choummaly Sayasone ( right ) receives a courtesy visit from
Her Majesty Sirindhorn at the Presidential Palace.

Her Majesty paid a courtesy visit to President Choummaly Sayasone at
the Presidential Palace, followed by a visit to the Houaysone-
Houyasoua Agricultural Development and Service Project in Nayang
village in Naxaithong district, Vientiane , where the project
director, Mr Anoulom Tounalom, described the activities there.

The project, supported by Her Majesty's Xaipatthana Foundation since
1994, undertakes agricultural research and provides services of all
kinds to farmers, including technical expertise for animal breeders.

M r Anoulom said the foundation had sent agricultural technicians,
equipment and regular funding to the project worth a total of about 4
million Thai baht per year on average.

He said that since the project was introduced in the nine target
villages, with a combined population of 8,859 people, locals have been
enjoying better living conditions; one family is now earning about 20
million kip per year, compared to just 200,000 kip in 1994.

The project is the result of a request from the late President Kaysone
Phomvihane when he went to the Houayhongkhai Agricultural Development
Centre in Chiang Mai , Thailand , some time ago, according to Mr
Anoulom.

On this visit, Her Majesty presented project workers with a tractor
worth 225,000 Thai baht.

Her Majesty then visited an orphanage at Km 67 in Phonhong district,
Vientiane province.

According to a report from the director of the orphanage, Mr Khamvai
Thongthimahaxay, the school was built in 1976 and has accommodated
2,804 orphans from around the country.

So far, there have been 25 graduating classes of a total of 2,054
students in their last year of upper secondary school. Currently, the
school houses 750 students.

The school has had royal support since 1992, and has regularly
cooperated with Thai officials to improve the living conditions of the
students, particularly through health check-ups, nutrition-based
activities, new school buildings and dormitory restoration.

The support has includ ed income-generating activities such as animal
husbandry, involving pigs, fish and cattle, and crop planting.

The school has also received training on how to make products for sale
to tourists so that students can earn a small income.

On her visit, Her Majesty Sirindhorn presented educational funding of
51,600 Thai baht, as well as textbooks and sports equipment to the
school.

Her Majesty Sirindhorn then travelled to Khammuan province by
helicopter to visit the Sikhottabong Stupa, where she performed
religious rites and donated 200,000 Thai baht to the temple.

Her Majesty Sirindhorn later visited the Ethnic School in Thakhek
district, Khammuan province.
