I think it's worth understanding that Laos is cheap but it's cheap for a reason. I can't imagine a top grade product coming out of here, if any product at all.

I've been there a few times and while it is a beautiful country in some aspects, you'll likely get your passport held ransom (from personal experience) at the border crossing and s@&t yourself if you open your mouth in shower. Is it a decent place to do business, we'll see.
