There is a lot of country in this world and there are a lot that have achieved democratic but little did we know there are few countries still in the communist state or dictatorship. The country is Laos, North Korea, China, Cuba and Vietnam. This is a country where there is only one party during election and they assume the whole politics and constitution. We will elaborate more of it below and the country we choose is Laos.
Political System
Laos is one of the last bastions of communism along with Cuba, North Korea, China and Vietnam. The country takes place as in the framework of a one-party socialist republic and the only party that govern the country is call Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP). The head of the state is the general secretary of LPRP which make him the de facto of Laos. The Laos politics is characterised by strongman and full of secret because nobody outside the inner circle know what is really going on. In Laos, the citizen don’t get to choose their government because there is no other alternative, no opposition party, no civil society and so they are force to deal with it like what happen to North Korea where there is only one person who have absolute power. Laos is a country where there is unusually harsh government control around and the executive power is controlled by the president and prime minister is in charge of ministry council. The country most recent election is on 2011 and since there are only one party so all the candidates is from the same party and no other people. In summary, Laos is a dictator country.
Economy
The Laotian economy has been growing at an average annual rate around 7 percent since the past five years. Laos continues to integrate more fully into the system of global trade and investment. The trade regime has become more transparent, and there has been progress in improving the management of public finances. Substantial challenges remain, particularly in implementing deeper institutional and systemic reforms that are critical to advancing economic freedom. Weak property rights, pervasive corruption, and burdensome bureaucracy, exacerbated by lingering government interference and regulatory controls, continue to reduce the dynamism of investment flows and overall economic efficiency.
Tham Kong Lo
Tham Kong Lo also known as Kong Lo cave which located at Phu Hin Bun River. This cave is a really amazing cave that I’ve never seen, it is a limestone cave in Phu Hin Bun national park. The limestone makes the cave shine brightly in the dark place with the pretty awesome colour. Visitor may have a great adventure with ride a boat through the cave.
Vang Vieng
Vang Vieng is a wonderful place with beautiful sea view and mountain. It previously known as Moung Song when Laos was under French colony. This beautiful place is a popular place for backpacker who enjoyed kayaking, hiking, tubing and so on. I love this place so much its looks so relaxing and is a place that unpolluted and full with fresh air.
Si Phan Don is a beautiful island, set against a scenic section of the Mekong river in southern Laos. Here is a best place for kayaks, the river traffic fall rapidly looks dangerous but it also is a great place for the people who likes to have a stimulate adventure.
