Lots of Chinese tourists, with at least 6 Gantry cranes dotting the skyline..(construction)
Seems that there is some serious money in Vientiane , with lots of projects going on.
Quite relaxing, no one hassled me, not even Tuk Tuk drivers or Taxi's .
Would seem like a good place to spend a few years enjoying the country, foods good.
Been there a few times before, never really took much notice.
Spoke to a few people, one who lives/ works in BKK, but flies up for regular meetings, asked him (40 to 50) age bracket, if he and his Oz wife could live in Laos, very quickly answered yes, but no work for him..
Anybody else thought about living there?
