... border between Thailand and Laos. Vientiane, the capitol of Laos, is thirty minutes drive away over the bridge. Lots of French, Japanese and Korean restaurants over in Vientiane; but they are quite expensive! Life is peaceful and quiet in the countryside.

I love the sunset! I wish I could see a sunset like that here in Korea. Unfortunately, Korea is mountainous terrain and not a lot of places where you can find the sun going down behind a big body of water. There aren't many good beaches in Korea, either. Only maybe one or two that are famous. My daughter begs me every day that she wants to go to the beach. I keep telling her later later when we go to Thailand. She's only 5 years old, so she doesn't know what 'later' means! Laos isn't that far away from where you took your picture.

Oh! The seaside in Thailand will be there waiting!
Tell me to learn to swim skillfully meanwhile! It isn’t a good time for seaside these months! The winter months are much better for sightseeing.

There are at least five legal boarder crossing points to Laos! Chiengrai, Leoi, Nongkhai, Nakorn Panom, Mukdaharn. But Vientiane is opposite Nongkhai.

I have quickly looked at the prospect of Korean investment in Laos and Thailand.

Some interesting push for Korean investment in Thailand is much more promising than in Laos.

It seems there should be more job opportunities in Thailand than in Laos. Normally, companies dealing with industrial or manufacturing business would be set up in Industrial Parks outside Bangkok. Big companies would be near the port area in Chonburi, one hour’s drive from Pattaya. The executives offices should usually locate in Bangkok or in the suburb.

What’s happen between America and China will change the logistics for many manufacturing industries in SE Asia. Things are so dynamic! Lots of opportunity in the future too!

Good luck.

There’s a company called Geontech Ltd. and Korea Environmental Corporation signing an MOU with local electrical supply authority to build a power plant, in Udon Thani province.

This gives you some idea that the north-east of Thailand will become a big hug in the near future, connecting several countries in Asia via railways and new road systems. It’s part of a connection to One Belt One Road.
