i read an online blog today about laos which states the isaan was part of laos and that the capital was ransacked by thailand and certain famous statues

now residing in thailand where stolen from laos as well as quite a few laos people taken as slaves

now of course this all happened a long time ago

if this is true no wonder the hiso in control hate thaksin

he was trying to help out the scum of thailand in their eyes

who are not even true thai

why give ex slaves an even break

keep them in their place

Shouldn't there be a rule concerning new members posting topics? Like a review board?

Yes Laos is issan, issan is Laos or was lol

And Laos was once part of Thailand. Since the OP intends to inflame rather than inform, topic closed.
