		During the Second Indochina War (see Glossary), for example, the North Vietnamese obtained the cooperation of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (Pathet Lao) in constructing and maintaining the Ho Chi Minh Trail (see Glossary), an unauthorized road communications network that passed through the length of Laos.
		Of these elements, the government displaced from Phnom Penh by the Vietnamese, Pol Pot's communist Khmer Rouge (which had established the government known as Democratic Kampuchea in Cambodia in 1975), was the strongest and most effective military force, mainly because of support from the Chinese.

	Music of Thailand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music flourished for the next few centuries, in spite of occasional oppression from monarchs like Rama I and the burning of Ayuthaya, including its art collections and libraries, in 1767 the result of which is a loss of most knowledge necessary to reconstruct the history of Thai music before the Bangkok period.
		The two most popular styles of traditional Thai music are luk thung and mor lam; the latter in particular has close affinities with the Music of Laos.
		Rhythmically and metrically Thai music is steady in tempo, regular in pulse, divisive, in simple duple meter, without swing, with little syncopation (p.3, 39), and with the emphasis on the final beat of a measure or group of pulses and phrase (p.41), as opposed to the first as in European-influenced music.

		In 1996 Dr Michael Aris, the late husband of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi emailed me that he would not engage in any political activity for Burma because he worried about his beloved wife's safety in Burma.
		Tin Oo and Aung San Suu Kyi are mistreated in isolation and poor living conditions by the low-minded brutes who were unfit to lead Burma.

		At the end of the 8th century all of Water Chenla came under the domination of one of Java's Sailendra monarchs.
		Chenla did not have a strong government, though; it prospered in the 7th century, but in 706 it split into two states, known as "Land Chenla" (Laos) and "Water Chenla" (Cambodia).
		Land Chenla submitted peacefully to Angkor's rule, and it appears that the states in Thailand and Malaya did the same, during the reign of Suryavarman I (1002-50).

		(Lonely Planet, 1997, p.12) Under Fa Ngum, Theravada Buddhism became the state religion and the golden statue of the Buddha, the Pha Bang, became the symbol of the Kingdom of Lan Xang.
		Many monarchs were to follow King Fa Ngum, and in 1520 King Photisarat moved the capital to Wieng Chan (present day Vientiane).
