The Laotian diaspora consists of roughly over half a million Lao people both descendants of early emigrants from Laos as well as more recent refugees who escaped the country following its communist takeover as a result of the Laotian Civil War. The overwhelming majority of overseas Laotians live in just three countries: Thailand the United States and France.
