Laos is still a very shy and cautious country when it comes to
foreigners (and who can blame them?) People still end up 'missing' or
jailed for poking in the wrong places.

Huh, sounds scary ;-) After their history, I can understand this
partially, but is it really that bad?

Better safe than sorry. There are still activities, although small,
as recent as a few months ago. I think things are a little better
lately. Laos recently received their NTR status. That should help.
