Travellers to Laos warned to stay away from poultry
The Public Health Ministry Wednesday warned travelers to Laos to stay away
from poultry particularly those around farms in Vientiane where the highly pathogenic
H5N1 strain of bird flu had infected the country's first human.
The travel and health advisory regarding the bird flu situation in Laos was being handed out
right at the Nong Khai immigration checkpoint where locals and foreign tourists usually
passed for the capital of Laos, said Dr Thawat Suntrajarn, director general of the Disease Control Department.

Just a little humor, Oogie
I spent a couple of days this past November touring in Isaan.....based in Udon Thani....and it never occurred to me to visit (let alone get caught in a photograph proving I visited!) a chicken factory. Oogie, you either didn't get my list of interesting Isaan places to visit or you have way too much time on your hands....hehe.
P.S. Does the fourth guy on the left know he's in the Colonel's bucket next week?
