Hello,

I went for a visarun to Laos. The hotel provide free wifi. However, the internet seems to be censured. No Google, No Facebook, lean pages and so on. WHO can tell me more about this?

Regards, John

Ummm maybe you didnt notice you were in a communist country ? That could have something to do with censorship.

Er, I don't think so. More likely a problem with the hotel's internet connection. There's no problem with Facebook etc in Laos.

What a visual it provides. The "free" side of the world, and then all the rest....

What about it? It shows Laos as having 'no evidence of censorship'. In fact it's the only 'green' country in the area!!

I was in Savvakhet last month and used an Internet cafe that had a Thai TOT connection... no problems.

A few hours earlier in Bangkok I'd bought a 3G add-on on my AIS payg SIM. Normally AIS send a SMS service message after 23hrs informing me that "you data plan will end soon" or something to that effect. I received no such message in Laos, despite supposedly being connected to the AIS network as normal. I also note that, whilst incoming calls were received without issue, I found it difficult to make outgoing calls. Also; any calls made to check balance - for example *121# (forget exact code as its in my phonebook) - DID NOT WORK. Draw your own conclusions!
