Laos – NOT the most bombed country in the world
Laos is a small, landlocked state nestled among its more recognisable neighbours of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar/Burma and China.
It is a largely forgotten country that few people have heard of, can identify on a map, or pronounce its name properly (silent ‘s’). Fewer still have travelled there, though this is beginning to change, for better or worse.
Indeed when it is remembered inevitably someone comments on its status as the most bombed country in the world; an unsavoury, much quoted and (importantly) fallacious distinction.
