From the accident site in Laos to hospitals in Thailand took 10-12 hours due to the distance from the border and the terrible road conditions in Laos or you can stuck on the roads for whole day or week when raining situation. Victims have no chance of surviving from a coma.
I was in Vang Vieng a few years ago. The furtherest I've been west for a while. Full of drunken Aussie backpackers watching football and soap re-runs. They have a drink called lao-lao further up country in Luang Prabang which is seriously bad news. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
yes, only these 5 got poison amongst the numerous who drank the same day. These cheap "vodka" from Australia dying alcohol industry is flooding the world market because it banned in their most important market China.
This kind of poisoning wouldn't happen if government policies to deliberately lace pharmacy ethanol with methanol were not a thing. Are the government officials responsible for this decision being indicted for homicide? Or is the little guy down the food chain going to take all the blame for distributing inadvertently alcohol poisoned on purpose by the "authorities" just so that they can make sure the masses can't get drunk on cheap pharmacy ethanol sold at the regular VAT rate?
Beer Lao only.. Was in Laos with my wife and kids. Even the locals her family only purchase alcohol and keep it in their cars. We only drank from new bottles for liquor.
Laotian-American guy here My condolences to them and their families 🙏🙏🙏😔 one solution Clean Process Liquor from now on man 🥃 “sighs” 💨 and proper closure for the families affected by the tragedy 🥺😢
Small amounts of Methanol are naturally produced during fermentation and get concentrated into dangerous amounts when alcohol is distilled. This needs to be carefully separated off as part of the normal process of making spirits. Methanol poisonings like this usually happen when people making bootleg/illegal alcohol make mistakes during the production leading to them selling a tainted batch, not because of intentional poisoning.
"Lao Vodka" is a home-made alcohol and not sold at a store. The manager must have got it real cheap to give it free. Vang Vieng is a nice place, but tainted by some rowdy drunkard backpackers staying in cheap Guesthouse and idle for days until their money runs out. You venture into their waterhole, this is what will happened. Supply and demand. Sad that it took away lives. Stick to hotel.

Why the first man speak Vietnamese in Laos?
Most shopkeeper or hotel owner are Vietnamese. Most of Loas people are poor and work aboard, mostly in Thailand.

The "vodka" came from China 🇨🇳, and you never know what the Chinese put into the drink.
Chinese put in poo from the railway tracks from india and pagpag from tondo into the drink😂😅😂
Coba kalau ke indonesia bisa saya beras kencur, kunir asem tambah sehat bukan malah keracunan
Business competition
Chinese alcohol no doubt
Stewed in pagpag no less
how much was this post
