Secret War - Laos underground caves

[Boycie]

The news topic starts at roughly 17.00 minutes

'The bombing of Laos by American forces during the conflict in Vietnam in the 1960s was called the Secret War. Now a little-known story of survival has emerged, of more than 20-thousand people who lived in a hidden city of underground caves for 9 years. Martin Lowe travelled to Houaphanh Province in northern Laos to find out what happened.'

Thank you very much Boycie ;

I didn't knew about AssignmentAsia ; a very good channel .

I went about four or five times in Kan'buri tiger temple;

the first time in 2005 it was cheap at that time ..

Now very expensive but a good thing, the prices are the same for everybody; thai or alien people .

About the second subject, I went to Vietnam for the first time in january 1991( during the first Gulf war ) and visited The Cu Chi tunnels , they are not far from HCM city ,where vietnamese people did as did lao people as we can see in the movie .

When in Hue city I travelled with my MT Bike to A Luoi a little village , border Lao on the HCM trail;

I had problems with the vietnamese policemen because I shot photos there;

and the photo shop in Hue refused not to develop my films but to make photos with them;

" war photos they said to me, forbidden "

We, french people , we know since a long time that Lao country received so many million tons of bombs from US aircraft;

but maybe it's a good thing to share this movie for every people here on Thaivisa forum

Never forget what the old lao man say :

I will never forget what they ( the US army ) did .

Everywhere they go, they do war against other people.

French army is still waiting for Dien Bien Phu air raid that US army promised ...in march and april 1954.
