The Lao People's Army History Museum,Vientiane
Here I take a look around the Lao People’s Army History Museum in Vientiane, Laos is located near the Ministry of Defense on Kaisone Phomvihane Road. Established in 1976, the museum contains weapons, tools, and photos of the Lao People’s Army during the revolutionary period from 1950 until the liberation for independence of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic in 1975. Just outside of the main building there is an exhibition of the different kinds of troop vehicles and war planes that were used during the wars.
Inside, where no photography is allowed, there artefacts detailing the key historical events of Laos during the Laotian Civil War between 1953 -1975. This is stepping back in time when the US was seen as the Imperial Aggressor after the decline of the French…..
Interesting, non the less.

Leaders, soldiers gather to celebrate Lao army
Party and state leaders, together with officials, soldiers and police, joined together in a ceremony yesterday to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the establishment of Laos' armed forces
The gathering was held in Vientiane on Monday morning at the National Conference Centre.
Party Secretary General and President of Laos Choummaly Sayasone gave a speech on how President Kaysone Phomvihane formed the Lao army 65 years ago.
President Kaysone set up the Latsavong unit and the Lao Issara Army on January 20, 1949.
The force, now known as the Lao People's Army, was born on that day at the Tasaeng-laohoung stronghold in Xiengkhor district, Huaphan province.
The Lao Issara fought against French aggressors and their allies on battlefields around the country until the enemies were finally defeated.
When the French forces were defeated across Indochina they surrendered and signed the 1954 Geneva agreement, granting independence to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Soon after the defeat of the French, Laos was attacked by America.
The Indochina Communist Party separated into three parties to fight the American forces, splintering into the Vietnam Labour Party, the Cambodian People's Party and the Lao People's Party.
In early 1960, American forces captured several Lao leaders and locked them in Phonkheng jail. But all the Lao leaders and the two battalions were eventually able to escape and rejoin the fight.
America committed many troops to the war in Laos and used its airforce to drop bombs across large swathes of land.
Over 2 million tonnes of ordnance were dropped on Laos by American warplanes during the Indochina war from 1964 to 1973.
There were a number of pivotal battles fought around this time.
The Lam Son 719 battle, fought in Xepon and Nong districts of Savannakhet province, was one of the critical conflicts in the country. The opposing troops were fought off by a combination of Lao and Vietnamese soldiers.
A museum dedicated to the battle has built in Xepon district to commemorate the legacy of the soldiers.
On exhibition are guns, defused bombs, mortars, aeroplanes, a helicopter, tanks, and other vehicles used during the war.
The Lao People's Army fought many battles before eventually achieving victory and liberating the nation in 1975.

Clearly not an expert on the subject of weaving, but I had the opportunity today to learn something about these Laos traditions. I was translating on the fly from Laos to English. If anyone in the know has corrections on the terminology or steps I missed, feel free to post in the comments.
Lao NEWS on LNTV: History of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (Part II).13/1/2016
VO History of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (Part II)
INTRO: Lao People’s Revolutionary Party will held the 10th Congress of the LPRP in January, the mass party members gathering is held every five years to highlight the preceding five years' achievements and to set goals for the next five years. In welcoming the upcoming event, we would like to present History of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (Part II)
STORY: The revolutionary struggle of the Lao multi-ethnic groups progressed to a new stage and the Indochina revolutionaries were thereafter considered global revolutionaries.
After the Indochina Communist Party was founded, the first Communist Party Unit in Laos was established at Bonaeng Phontiew in Vientiane.
By implementing the orders of the Communist Party Committee outside the country on September 6-7 in 1934, 15 Party members, who represented the members of six Party cells, gathered to open the Congress on Donxingxou Island in Vientiane. The Congress explained the ideals of the Party and agreed on resolutions concerning urgent issues such as improving and expanding Party organisations and mass organisations, strengthening the task of mobilising the masses in rural areas and encouraging a form of fighting with mass characteristics nationwide.
The Congress selected an executive committee of the Indochina Communist Party in the Lao region called “Khana Phak Khaen Lao”. Across the Lao region there were six Party cells with a membership of 32 Indochina Communist Party comrades.
From then onwards the Lao communists disseminated the theories of Marxism and Leninism. They built up the Party at the grassroots level in factories and schools in urban and rural areas, so as to amass a patriotic force to rise up to fight at all levels through various forms of combat.
The Party mobilised people in rural areas to join the revolutionary movement and become the underlying force of the revolution. A wave of struggles by Lao people took place across the country and there were several forms of fighting. This led to the Party seizing power on August 23, 1945, and proclaiming Laos's independence on October 12, 1945.
The Lao People's Army was established on January 20, 1949, and the Neo Lao Issara (Free Lao Front) was founded on August 13, 1950. The Neo Lao Issara was the flag that united and attracted all segments of society to take part in the revolution.
Under the leadership of the Indochina Communist Party, the people's revolutionary movements in the three nations achieved a huge victory in their fight against the French. The revolutionary forces grew continuously and the number of Party members increased.
The Second Congress of the Indochina Communist Party held in 1951 agreed that Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia would establish their own Parties to lead the revolution in its country. The Lao people, who were members of the Indochina Communist Party, took four years to prepare for their first congress.
The Lao communists held their First Party Congress at Nameo village in Viengxay district, Huaphan province from March 22 to April 6, 1955 and announced the formation of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party on March 22, 1955. The Congress elected President Kaysone Phomvihane as Party Secretary General. President Kaysone Phomvihane affirmed that the Indochina Communist Party was the originator of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
Our Party was born by combining Marxism-Leninism with true patriotism and a sense of internationalism on the part of a shining workforce. The Party had its roots in two factors developed with the assistance of the Indochina Communist Party which introduced the theories of Marx and Lenin to educate revolutionary officials in Laos beginning in 1930, bolstered by true patriotism.
The Indochina Communist Party was founded and led by President Ho Chi Minh who provided invaluable assistance to revolutionary officials in Laos.
After the Lao People's Revolutionary Party was established, the Party passed down the inspiring ideology of the Indochina Communist Party. The Party clearly laid down its actions, ideology and political direction in leading the Lao masses in the struggle to liberate the nation and gain full sovereignty on December 2, 1975.
Today the Party continues to build on its ideology in line with the country's development needs and leads the entire Lao population in protecting and developing the nation with the goal of ensuring the people's well-being and prosperity, a strong nation, and a society that enjoys solidarity, conciliation, democracy, justice and civilisation.

VO Lao People's Army celebrate the 66th anniversary of the founding of the Lao People's Army
INTRO: Deputy Minister of National Defence, Major General Chansamone Chanyalath, along with soldiers, national heroes and senior revolutionary fighters, gathered to mark the 66th anniversary of the founding of the Lao People's Army.
STORY: Deputy Minister of National Defence, Major General Chansamone Chanyalath was among soldiers, national heroes and senior revolutionary fighters at a ceremony to mark the 66th anniversary of the Lao People's Army in Vientiane capital on Monday the 19th of January.
At the gathering, the ministry representative recalled the sound and courageous traditions of the army fighters, saying that they were keen to volunteer in the revolutionary movement without fear despite the extremely dangerous fighting taking place against French and US invaders. Such success achieved and the sacrifices made by the revolutionary fighters remain as valuable traditions and a heritage for younger generations to maintain. On January 20, 1949 President Kaysone Phomvihane led the Lao people and founded the Lao Issara Army (now the Lao People's Army) with a small number of fighters which gradually grew.
Though being much smaller in number, but with great courage coupled with the right fighting techniques, the army was able to defeat the foreign aggressors who had greater numbers of fighters with much more advanced weaponry.
The protracted fighting history of the Lao people that eventually gained victory and resulted in the proclamation of the Lao PDR has rewarded the country with independence, liberty, sovereignty and integral territory.
Laos: Congress: Lao People's Revolutionary Party congress
Lao/Natsound
Laos' ruling communist party said Tuesday it had stabilized the country's fragile economy, but conceded it still lacked the knowledge to properly manage its currency and finance sector.
During a three-day congress held every 5 years by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, congress heard that inflation had dropped from 140 percent in 1999 to 10 percent by the end of 2000.
Also it was reported that the depreciation of the Lao currency, the kip, had been brought under control.
The deputy secretary of the party committee on the finance and banking sector, Soukan Mahalath praised the party for being able to basically stop the impact of the Asian economic crisis on the Laos economy.
His comments follow the admission by President Khamtay Siphandone at the opening of the three-day congress on Monday that internal causes were mostly to blame for the country's economic problems in recent years.
Speaking at a closed door session Tuesday, Soukan said that Laos, a rural nation of 5 million people, lacked skilled people in the finance-currency sector, and implied that corruption among officials was a problem.
Financial instability caused by the 1997 Asian economic crisis hurt Laos' 15-year effort to push free market reforms, and depreciated the currency.
Tough austerity measures and financial help from China was needed to help stabilize the currency, now trading locally at 8,200 kip to the dollar.
It had dropped in value from 720 kip in 1990 to 9,000 in 1999.
The economic problems have damaged the credibility of the party's aging leadership, which has ruled for 25 years.
Yet a political report delivered by Khamtay Monday indicated that no big policy changes are afoot for the next five years and that the communists have no intention to allow other political parties to challenge their rule.
Nevertheless, the congress is expected to introduce some personnel changes.
Analysts believe that current Prime Minister Sisavat Keobounphanh will be dropped.
Officials say the eight-member Politburo which dominates government will be enlarged.
On Tuesday, senior party officials delivered upbeat reports to the congress's 452 delegates who represent the party's 105-thousand members nationwide.
The government, which keeps tight control on information, claimed to have made huge progress in alleviating poverty although experts said some data was suspect.
Davone Vongsack, deputy minister of public health, claimed that average life expectancy had increased from 51 years in 1995, to 59 years in 2000.
An Asian Development Bank study published in October 2000 concluded that most of this country's 12 - thousand villages, often in remote locations, have no health centre.
When they do, there are often too few or no medicines at all.
The report concluded that 38.6 percent of people nationwide suffered poverty.
