Ting Pailavanh is my choice,
about the Thailand thing? the Lao ethnic in Thailand, shouldnt be allowed, for example, like Tai Oraithai and other singers, who are ethnic Lao but thai citizens,
saying that would be like saying the Lao american, if there were any famous ones, whould not qualify?
any famous Chinese, Japaese, Vietnamese or Koreans who are US citizens should not be allowed?
They should be allowed so long as they know how to speak and sing in Vientiane Lao dialect, and not Bangkokian Thai dialect. =P
hehe jk...it doesn't have to be Vientiane dialect, but the Lao language in general.
