Laos urges Thailand to be more understanding

Laos has called on Thailand to be more understanding about the ill-feelings the Lao people still hold towards Thailand, as that would greatly help to bring improvement to bilateral ties between the two neighbours.

Laos' Foreign Ministry spokesman Yong Chanthalangsy said yesterday Lao history was dominated by struggles from its neighbours' occupation, which resulted in suspicion and mistrust against its neighbours, including Thailand.

It would take not just years, but generations, to eliminate such feelings, he said during a seminar at the Foreign Ministry in Bangkok.

He cited a few examples of such feelings which are reflected in a saying that "listening to Thai people talk is like setting fire to one's house". In addition, many Laotians still mistake American bombings from army planes from U Ta-Pao for Thai bombing raids.

However, he said the new generation should help rewrite a new chapter in Thai-Lao bilateral relations.

"Since Lao people can read and understand the Thai language and they consume not only newspapers, but electronic media like TV as well as cinemas, it will be better if the Thais give special care to Lao sensitivities," said Mr Yong, who dubbed the sensitivities as "the instinct of preservation".

Virabongsa Ramangura, president of the Thai-Lao Friendship Association, said since neighbours could not abandon each other, they should learn to co-exist and be extra careful in their dealings.

"In particular TV soap operas, cinema and news reports should realise their impact on consumers, readers and viewers in neighbouring countries," he said.

A few months ago, a Thai comedy "Mak Te," which featured a Lao football team trying to compete in the World Cup, enraged the Lao people and its government, causing the film to be scrapped.

Mr Yong said Thai film producers should submit their movie scripts to Vientiane, not for censorship, but for closer consultation to avoid another bad experience.

Cute pictures of Laos. Thank you. That reminded me of my trips to Laos in 1997, 1999 and 2001.

Since unification with them is out of question (for now). What about making them a joint country with us , just like Australia and New Zealand, England and Ireland or Sweden and Norway. So our brothers and sisters from the other side of the river could come and enjoy full right of our benefits of health care, housing and education.
