Lao govt assists Thai flood victims
By Sisay Vilaysack

Monday, Oct 17, 2011
The Lao government presented 1.5 million baht (S$618,000) to the
government of Thailand on October 13 as a symbolic gesture of
solidarity with the victims of the recent flooding there, according to
the Lao Embassy to Thailand.
The money was handed over by Lao Ambassador to Thailand Ouan
Phommachack on behalf of the Lao government to Thai Foreign Minister
Surapong Tovichakchaikul at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in
Bangkok.
Mr Ouan said "While it is not a large sum of money, it reflects the
spirit of the government and people of Laos, who want to help Thai
people affected by flooding."
Mr Surapong said the a mount was not important, but what was
significant was the spirit of the people of both nations in their
concern and desire to help each other in times of difficulty.
He expressed his gratitude to the government and people of Laos and
said he would inform the Thai prime minister and people about Laos'
show of support.
The Nation newspaper's website reported that Thai Prime Minister
Yingluck Shinawatra has assured the public the government is doing all
it possibly can to tackle the country's worst flood disaster in
history and in her weekly radio programme said they would be providing
assistance to victims of the flooding.
Currently there are 56 flood-affected provinces, but 10 provinces
were among the hardest hit, namely Nakhon Sawan, Ayutthaya, Pathum
Thani, Nonthaburi, Lop Buri, Ang Thong, Sing Buri, Chai Nat, Uthai
Thani and Chachoengsao.
The Thai government's Flood Relief Operations Command has received
over 400 million baht in donations so far, which will be distributed
among victims of the flooding.
China, Japan, Republic of Korea, Laos, Israel, Denmark and the United
States had offered assistance, Ms Yingluck said.

Very good gesture from Lao Government. But 1.5 million Baht is only
roughly $48,400 not $618,000. Do the math--$1=31 Baht. Anyhow, Laos
should considers helping its citizen along the Mekong before helping
other. Scratch your back before scratch your neighbor's back.

to say brotherly country lao-thai is crazy. how close is that brother beside the formal king of LAOS? that brother and other members of the same family were round up into jail so called education training. all of them dead. i do not think Thai people will ever believe your gesture of brotherly country spirit. all knowing one day it's going to be thai conquer LAOS again or LPDR/Vietnam conquer THAI. ECONOMICALLY thai already got A BIG CHUNK of LPDR. look at who's money is being use in LPDR market and even government official salary. also look at which country those lovely girls in LPDR go to sell their bodies. seeing it in thai tv report some of them look ok but other are so urgly.
