Description:

Travelling across Asean is likely to get easier thanks to the Lao government’s plan to build an expressway and three motorways covering more than 1,700 kilometres which will link the country with China and Vietnam. The country needs at least 283 billion baht to fulfil its ambition, said Pheng Douangngeun, chief of the Lao Department of Roads.
