“From the Lao government perspective, this case has always been less about those who died and more about trying to repair the serious public relations damage” - truth about #Laos failure to hold accountable ALL those responsible for methanol poisoning deaths. #VangVieng www.scmp.com/week-asia/pe...

As Laos’ methanol poisoning case begins, friend of victim slams ‘cover-up’

The modern Chinese-built high-speed rail reduces travel time between Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng from 6 hours to 55 minutes. Not China’s fastest bullet train, this one still runs at over 100 MPH.
