Mr.Hotsia Encounters Bombs at Tha Tang, Sekong Province http://www.hotsia.com > Travel Pakse Champasak > Mr.Hotsia Encounters Bombs at Tha Tang, Sekong Province When I traveled to Xiangkhouang, I saw large bombs along the roadside everywhere and wrote about the Bomb City Xiangkhouang. I had a chance to talk with UXO workers who do bomb disposal and was excited. Today, I traveled to Tha Tang. Before coming, I heard that bomb clearance in Tha Tang, Sekong Province, did not meet the target. The goal was to clear 200 acres but only 80 acres were cleared in 2010. I thought that traveling in town and not going into the forest or mountains would be safe and I definitely would not encounter bombs. When I traveled to Tha Tang, under the hot sun and not knowing what to do, I used my usual method: washing my hair and searching for news. But this time, the news was bigger than before, not just about routes or directions, but "There are bombs behind me, I don't know what to do?" The instinct to gather and see kicked in immediately. I went to check and filmed a clip for you to watch. I don't know what type of bomb it is, but it should be a bomb.

I advised him to report to the village chief; by now, he probably has. From conversations, I learned that Tha Tang is an area with many bombs and only the front yard zone has been cleared, while the backyard remains unchecked. When something disturbs the ground, cows or chickens sometimes uncover bombs. I had a chance to talk with officials who said that in 2010, several people were injured by bombs, mostly while digging fields or planting rubber trees when they encountered unexploded ordnance.
Therefore, anyone traveling in Laos should avoid walking in areas that have not been cleared, as you might encounter danger. We never know where exactly, so just follow where tourists and locals walk. Don't be shy to use restrooms or stop in safe areas; going deep into the forest could be risky.
