The Laotian Flag What the red stripes represent is the blood shed in the country's fight for independence. The blue stands for Laos' wealth and prosperity while the white expresses unity and justice. Another meaning of the Laotian flag is that the white circle stands for the full moon over the blue Mekong River, which runs through and alongside most parts of Laos.
Ancient Laos The first inhabitants of Laos were hunter-gatherers. Later on, they were farmers who grows rice and pulses. The early farmers used stone tools although those from 2,000 BC used bronze and when around the year 500 BC, they used iron. Laos, unlike Vietnam, was influenced by Indian culture rather than Chinese culture. From the 1st century AD, Indian merchants introduced Theravada Buddhism into Laos. Beginning from the 9th to the 13th century, the Khmers from Cambodia ruled much of what is now Laos.
