Several years back I had 400 employees in Laos, on a good day they produced the work of about 140 employees.

They were even lazier and more incompetent than Khmers 🙄

As they say: the Vietnamese grow the rice, the Khmer watch it grow, and the Laotians listen to it grow. I have worked in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos and, whilst I love to visit the latter, working with Laotians is a little challenging.

So my mates have all done business all across Southeast Asia, and all I got was this Laosy T - Shirt!
