I immigrated to the UK more than 20 years ago. I discovered so many nice places to visit from Aberdeen, corelaine in Northern Ireland, Wales, and Down to London and Portsmouth. Why are you going to Loas? There are so many wonderful countries such as Australia, Japan, North American, France, Italy, Scandinavia, Austria, Germany, Botshana, Taiwan, and so on.
My understanding is you don't "make alcohol with methanol", but methanol arises in moonshine made the wrong way. Methanol is a kind of alcohol with ethanol being the desirable kind.
First destilation= high Methanol content. next destilation reduces its percentage. Each destilation reduces alcohol content. Each time reducing the drink amount to a fraction. I dont think barman knew it was not double destiled when buying it.
From the accident site in Laos to hospitals in Thailand took 11-12 hours or day or week due to the distance from the border and the terrible road conditions especially raining in Laos. Victims have no chance of surviving a coma according to that criteria.
There was a time it was going on in Southern Spain Costa del Sol.and also drinks being spiked while the person was robbed of watch,phone and money and if it was a woman far worse.
In Laos they have a very strong tradition of home brewed liqour which is very strong, which does not contain methanol, the name of the owner of the hostel hasn't been said but it is clearly a Vietnamese name from what I've heard reported, which I believe is very significant, organised crime is rife in vang vieng, also Laos is the kind of country where thermy would immediately blame it on the foreigner.
An international (Commonwealth) hotline to report any strange symptoms which could point to any form of poisoning, could be operated for tourists and expatriates who encounter emergency situations in South East Asia. May God keep all mindful, safe and well💜🕊️🧘♀️
The happy cards in Lao are equally as dangerous. Drink lau beer and nothing else drink it out of a bottle not a glass. Be careful there are many scammers and not much help from the authorities. Asia is very beautiful sometimes you forget the reality.
@@dub604 From Wiki: The word Laos was coined by the French, who united the 3 Lao kingdoms in French Indochina in 1893. The name of the country is spelled the same as the plural of the most common ethnic group, the Lao people. In English, the "s" in the name of the country is pronounced, and not silent.
@@tuktabeale5911 True... As anybody that has every spent time in the region will know. The S is a French addition, people are free to use it if they don't mind being laughed at I suppose.
@@tuktabeale5911 You should visit... just stick to the beer and avoid hard alcohol. And for god's sake.. don't try and tell them what you think their country is called... bad idea.
It's bootleg spirit where the bootleggers are useless as brewing. Send them a few Irish bootleggers to teach them to do it properly. It used to happen all the time during prohibition.
Chinese Gangs are moving in to Laos and Cambodia especially; with the New Rail link my guess is that's where this problem is coming from with Cambodia it's online gambling unlikely it's the locals they are nice people.Ive lived in SEA for 31 years the guy in the suite has no idea what he's talking about.
Why you gonna being other country name to something that not relate ? What happen in Lao stay in Lao and this isn’t something news it’s happening everywhere
@@guill90 True enough. Sadly that is the case with most news stories-tragedies involving members of one’s own community generally take precedence and then there’s a hierarchy of concern even within that narrow focus

You said she wasn't naive. I think you're wrong. Most people are.

Because everything is
cheaper there and
some young people
only wants to get
cheap things
probably they only can
afford that much
it cost their life
Because it's beautiful, and the people are lovely.
Even if you survive, methanol can seriously damage your kidneys.
You have to remember, you are not at home, when you are offered free drinks chances are you are not being offered premium brews.

If only the advice had actually been on the FDCO website BEFORE she left the country and NOT posted the day before she passed away.

It was like that 25 years ago you have to be smart when travelling as not everything and everyone is what they appear to be.
Shocking.Take a flask of your own drinks every where.

Very true the locals are experts and have a long history of making there own spirits, this is likely a cheap back street import from china
Why China? You have none to blame?
Quite odd. It's contamination or purposefully brewed methanol drink?
Counterfeit and homemade cooking is cheaper than store bought

Party Town. To me that is a place to stay away from. Alcohol, worse than smoking.
Actually its not a party town, its just a popular beautiful scenic destination in Lao

Lao, not LaoS. Ask a local before reporting on a country.
Laos is correct for English.
@@tuktabeale5911 Nope, Laos is actually the French spelling. The name of the country is Lao and it's pronounced without an 'S'.

I've spent a long time in Laos, yous are really missing what's going on here.
what then?
travellers need to stop going abroad and doing what they do at home.
I'm having chicken nuggets, southern fried.
Chicken wings

Stop peddling racial hatred. Unless you have proof, your accusation is baseless and nothing short of discrimination.
All white, blonde and blue eyed
Point being?
@@cybersurf5 I guess that’s it is in the news. This could happen to anyone also to locals.
