Lao from Sanakham, AiLaoland :

We shall congratulate the new PM for his efforts to stop the illegal logging on time when all the forests are about disappearing; before 1975 in Sanakham district where the presence of the Neo Lao fighters was less active Koupasith Aphay and his army have systematically logged all the precious wood to export to Thailand.

FREEDOM VOICES :

The Prime Minister sounds confident on it news strategy, but let wait and see how much he can stop the illegal logging. If he can't do what he said, then he must resign from office.
