Laos Driving

[Fawn]

Can anyone tell me what side of the road they drive on in Laos?

the other side, same as yanks and the french, i think, since frenchies were there and taught them how.

double check, and i am guessing correct

Thank you LA, you are a bon oeuf.

There's a You Tube video been doing the rounds on Nong Khai Map where the Nong Khai cars are driving on the right.

And I thought maybe someone switched this sign around at the border.

And now all the Locals think they have to drive on the same side as their Lao cousins. And the Laos think there's some Communist commissar edict instructing them to drive on the same side as the capitalist running dogs in NK.

I'm totally flummoxed.

If you read the posts i actually posted on that thread, i think it was a 'blooper' on who ever made the video and posted it,(been amended now after Trubit spotted it) looks same same as Thailand though, a differant country that looks the same (apart from cars driving on the wrong side) Reminded me of an Irish Alan style Road Movie too.
Did they have sides before the Fench arrived...i am guessing they didn't , probably just a dust track and go where you want, so what was the Thai influence for them to be driving on the correct side.(or what ever side they fancy..lol)...?

The right side except when they drive on the wrong side, which is frequently.

I like Irish Alan's road movies on You Tube and the Da Endorphine tunes in the background.

Any more in the pipeline Alan?

I got a shot across the bows from YouTube Prenders... Just telling me to be careful in my use of music so as not to break any copyright laws. I suppose the ones where I added credits were ok as opposed to the raw ones. I have a few saved I just have to stop being a lazy barsteward and edit them...
