There is no place like home...       Laos -  Wherever you are,  near or far,  you're always in my heart!

For the Lao people, wherever they are, the invisible link with the nation, the nationhood, is inborn and transmitted from generation to generation.
The foreigners who come to live in Laos, soon acquire a certain recognisable manner. They develop quiet voices, and gentle, rapt expressions.     - Savanna -

What do you know about Isan (Isarn/Isaan) and Lanna Kingdom? Isan was dominated by the Lao Lan Xang kingdom in the 13th thru 17th century. The conflicts between Lan Xang and Siam in the 18th thru 19th century; Franco-Siamese treaties of 1893, 1904 and 1907; made Isan a final frontier between Laos and Siam. Isan covers 62,000 square miles (160,000 square km) from Mekong river to Khorat plateau. Today, there are 22 million Lao Isan people in Thailand and most of the population is of Lao origin.
