In Laos.. but why is this place like China?

In Laos.. but why is this place like China?

Traveling to Laos, but why is the atmosphere like in China?

Across to visit the Roman King's side in the Special Economic Zone.

A golden triangle full of hotels, casinos, shops.

And buildings with Chinese in almost every corner.

People, language, money spent, to local time.

Many are clearly linked to China.

Why is this city like China?

Comment, let's talk.

... Read moreหลายคนถามกันเยอะเรื่อง “คิงส์โรมัน ล่าสุด” เลยขอเล่าประสบการณ์แบบคนไปเห็นกับตา (เน้นข้อมูลใช้ได้จริงก่อนเดินทาง) เผื่อใครกำลังลังเลว่าจะไปดีไหม และควรเตรียมตัวยังไง 1) บรรยากาศล่าสุด: ทำไมเหมือนอยู่เมืองจีน? สิ่งที่รู้สึกชัดสุดคือ “ภาษาจีน” อยู่แทบทุกมุม ทั้งป้ายร้านค้า ป้ายบอกทาง ชื่ออาคาร และดีไซน์ตึกบางส่วน ทำให้ฟีลเหมือนเมืองที่ถูกออกแบบใหม่ทั้งย่าน ไม่ใช่แค่แหล่งท่องเที่ยวเล็ก ๆ นอกจากนี้ยังมีสัญลักษณ์/งานตกแต่งที่ผสมหลายวัฒนธรรม เช่น รูปปั้นสไตล์กรีก กับพญานาคอยู่ในพื้นที่เดียวกัน ซึ่งเป็นภาพจำแปลกตาและถ่ายรูปสนุก 2) โซนนี้คืออะไร? พื้นที่นี้อยู่ใน “GOLDEN TRIANGLE SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE” หรือเขตเศรษฐกิจพิเศษสามเหลี่ยมทองคำ จุดเด่นคือมีโรงแรม คาสิโน และสิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกครบแบบเมืองท่องเที่ยว ทำให้คนส่วนใหญ่เรียกติดปากว่า “ฝั่งคิงส์โรมัน” และหลายคนเพิ่งรู้ว่า KINGS ROMANS จริง ๆ คือชื่อคาสิโนที่กลายเป็นชื่อเรียกทั้งย่านไปด้วย 3) เรื่องเงินที่ใช้: หยวน (CNY) เจอบ่อยจริง อีกอย่างที่ทำให้หลายคนรู้สึกว่าเหมือนจีนคือ “เงินหยวน (YUAN / CNY)” ถูกพูดถึงและเห็นใช้จริงในพื้นที่บางจุด (รวมถึงการคิดราคา/ป้ายราคา) แนะนำให้เตรียมเงินให้เหมาะกับแผนของตัวเอง และพกเงินสำรองหลายสกุลไว้เผื่อความสะดวกในการจ่าย 4) ความปลอดภัย/ประเด็นที่คนกังวล (ควรอ่านก่อน) จากข้อมูลที่คนพูดถึงกันมากในช่วงหลัง มีข่าวเกี่ยวกับสแกมเมอร์/คอลเซ็นเตอร์ในอดีต และมีการกวาดล้างตรวจเข้มในปี 2024 ที่ผ่านมา ดังนั้นถ้าถามว่า “คิงส์โรมัน ล่าสุดเป็นยังไง” ส่วนตัวมองว่าโซนท่องเที่ยวพยายามรีแบรนด์ให้เป็นสายเที่ยวครบวงจรขึ้น แต่ผู้เดินทางก็ยังควรระวังตัวเหมือนเดิม ข้อควรระวังที่อยากย้ำ (สำคัญมาก): - อย่าหลงเชื่อคนชวนทำงานง่าย ๆ หรือชวน “เปิดบัญชี/รับจ้างเปิดบัญชีม้า” ไม่ว่ากรณีไหนเสี่ยงผิดกฎหมายและอันตราย - ไม่ควรไปกับคนแปลกหน้าที่เพิ่งรู้จัก และไม่รับของ/เอกสารที่ไม่รู้ที่มา - ถ้าจะเข้าโซนคาสิโนหรือสถานบันเทิง ให้ไปแบบมีสติ กำหนดงบประมาณชัดเจน 5) ไปแล้วทำอะไรดี? ถ้าตั้งใจไปแบบท่องเที่ยว แนะนำโฟกัส “เดินดูเมือง-ถ่ายรูป-ดูสถาปัตย์-บรรยากาศป้ายจีน” แล้วเลือกพักโรงแรมที่รีวิวชัดเจน การเดินเล่นช่วงเย็นจะได้ฟีลเมืองใหม่ ๆ และเห็นความคึกคักของโซนการค้า สรุป “คิงส์โรมัน ล่าสุด” ในมุมคนไปเอง: ยังเป็นพื้นที่ที่มีความเป็นจีนสูงมาก ทั้งป้าย ภาษา และบรรยากาศเมืองที่สร้างใหม่ ถ้าไปเพื่อดูความแปลกตาและเก็บภาพถือว่าน่าสนใจ แต่ให้วางแผนและระวังเรื่องการชักชวนงาน/เรื่องบัญชีผิดกฎหมายเป็นพิเศษ
