BANGKOK — After at least 6,000 people in Laos lost their homes and dozens died when a dam collapsed Monday, Thai netizens took to the internet in support of their northern neighbors.

 

#PrayforLaos, #PrayForAttapue, #DamBroke and #LaotianDamBroke were all top trending hashtags Thursday as the Thai internet kept a watch on the climbing death toll from the disaster. The Red Cross on Thursday said 24 bodies had been recovered and 131 people are still missing.
