Methanol deaths

[Cereal]

Why isn't anyone talking about this? Does anyone know anything other than the media we are hearing? This is tragic but not unexpected really. Giving away buckets of free booze supposedly from top brands doesn't seem fiscally responsible.

Horrible tragedy and I hope they find the supplier.

Many Lao are blaming Vietnamese people, my wife among them. True, a Vietnamese owned Nana Backpackers Hostel and the manager et al were Vietnamese and 8 have been detained, but it's a Lao problem. These people, Lao that is, are incredible at deflecting blame. 

 

It finally looks like the government here are doing something. The international pressure has been immense.
