    2.3 Laos Road Assessment Roads overview Summary of Roles and Services Road Construction / Maintenance Road Classification Distance matrix Road security and accidents Weighbridges Axle Load Limits Bridges Transport Corridors International corridors leading to the Country Main corridors within the Country (leading to main towns / hubs) Page 1 Page 2 Of the defined total road system of some 30,000 plus kilometers, only some 15% are paved. This may be given the low traffic volumes and predominance of two and three-wheeled vehicles. The usage of provincial and district road network is restricted during the rainy season. Less that 60% of district centers have year-round access. Roads overview Laos is a land locked country, and therefore relies on its neighbours, Vietnam and Thailand, for sea port services. Most of WFP’s commodities are imported through Bangkok, Thailand. Transport infrastructure in the Lao PDR is at an early stage of development as demonstrated by the Lao PDR’s road density of 6.1 km per 1,000 people as well as by the road quality.. In addition, the general demands on the transport infrastructure are low, since traffic levels on the national network (except near Vientiane and Savannakhet) are below 1,000 average annual daily traffic and below 500 average annual daily traffic on most other networks. However, demand has been increasing over the years at an annual rate of 5%–8% for goods and 8%–10% for passengers, indicating a rise in line with economic growth. A majority of the roads are impassable during the rainy season. (Source: Statistical Year Book Lao PDR 2014, MPI) The Lao road network is estimated at about 46,000 Km, with only 28% paved.

Chunsuparerk, D. (2018). The agricultural water resource management model in Lam Se Bai Irrigation Area, Amnat Charoen Province, Thailand. International Journal of Agricultural Technology 14(7): 1147-1160. Abstract Upon encountering crisis from climatic and geographical influences in Lam Se Bai irrigation in Hua Taphan district, Amnat Charoen province particularly during summer and rainy season, the impacts of drought and flood are considered as persistent obstacles to the subsistence and economic security for domestic farmers. Regarding its consequence as a principal stakeholder of approximately 474 Acres in the affected area, this research was conducted to solve significant problems specified as follows; submerging floodplains, water deficiency, inefficient water management, negligent maintenance, inadequate water conservation, and limited knowledge in agricultural water management. The findings indicated that public participation was a prior influence, followed by water management, agricultural support, maintenance, and water conservation. These five elements enabled relevant sectors to unravel the management problems. Primarily, water management encompassed policy, measure, and management machinery improvement. The policy comprised of exploration, usage, and countermeasure. However, machinery progress required multi-cooperation, where efficacy was demanding. Integration process facilitated public to engage in planning, implementation, and evaluation. This allowed water users to promptly resolve unexpected situations. Agricultural support required collaboration to set action plans.

They helped the researcher reach Nyo speakers as well as speakers of other Tai dialects in a micro-linguistic area comprising districts belonging to three provinces (Mukdahan, Yasothon, and Amnat Charoen) of Northeast Thailand, where specific varieties of Tai languages (Southwestern branch) such as Phu Thai are also spoken. Further studies should thus include the documentation of those varieties, especially those of Phu Thai. Nyo as well as Phu Thai are language names as well as ethnonyms which can be found not only in Thailand, but also in neighboring countries such as Laos and Vietnam.
