Laos Overview
Laos, authentically the “Lao People's Democratic Republic” is a country located in Southeast Asia. The country is a “communist state” and is known for its Buddhist temples, mountains, terrain, colonial remains and much more.
Laos has a long and complex history. The country was ruled by different kingdoms and empires until it eventually became a French colony. The French demanded high production from the colony but failed to achieve their goal.
After World War 2 ended, struggle for independence in Laos started and the French were pushed out. Similar events happened in Vietnam and other French colonies and these types of events led to the all scale Vietnam war.
During the War, thousands of pounds of bombs were dropped by the US as Laos was used the resupply the North Vietnamese forces. Thousands of innocent people were also killed.
Laos is a landlocked country and is bordered by the other countries of China and Myanmar towards the Northwest, Thailand towards the West and Southwest, Vietnam towards the East, and Cambodia towards the Southwest.
Most of the Laos terrain features thick forests and mountains while there also are some plains and valleys.
The country has one of the most stable and fastest growing economies in the region. Agriculture, services, industries and foreign investments are the main factors behind the growth of the economy.
Rice is the primary agricultural product. Tourism sector also generates large revenue and the number of tourists visiting annual have increased dramatically.
Around 64.7 percent of the Laos population follow Buddhism (Theravada), while 31.5% people practice the Tai Folk religion. A small minority of Christians are also present.

We are tech professionals and working in USA. After a year long search we brought the house. After buying the house I started looking for consultant who can help me evaluating the house. I came across Subhavaastu website which has lot of information. I contacted Mr.Suresh and requested him to help with our house vastu. It has been an incredible delight working with him.. He is very detailed oriented person and never compromises with his work. I am typically not interested to deliver the reviews. But after working with Mr. Suresh I decided to share my experience. Mr. Suresh has great expertise in providing vastu consultation to USA property. He is always available through email and phone l to answer questions. I am writing this review hoping it will help other people like me who lives in abroad. Please take advise before buying the house. I highly recommend Mr. Suresh as he has great experience with structure of USA properties and also he provides genuine consultation. I really appreciate Mr. Suresh's help in evaluating our house - Padma - Boston - USA
"I contacted Sureshji to consult on our current home. He was spot on in identifying vastu dosha in regards to the problems we were having. He suggested remedies but we are still looking for a new house. Since then I have been in touch with him for finding a right home for us. He is very sincere and truly wishes better lives for everyone. He doesn’t compromise with quality and is always responsive to queries. He recommends solutions as per location as vaastu rules differ for each country. He is greatly contributing to the society with his knowledge of Vaastu Shastra and dedication towards his work. Keep up the good work Sureshji and wish you success and happiness!" - Megha - Virginia - USA
I have consulted Suresh Garu during December 2014 during the process of buying a house in Texas, USA. I have occupied the house for one year now, and feel like dropping a review regarding my experience during the entire process. I am very much satisfied with the kind of service I received from him. He is very knowledgeable and I was often stunned by his detailed analysis during the course of my interaction with him. He was very much accessible over phone (perhaps more than 10 times for one house plan!) and the price is very much reasonable especially compared with the cost of the house. I noticed his burning desire to help me in making informed decisions on certain things. I have seen some people pretending to know this subject and misguiding those who come for help by saying only what we want to hear. SubhaVaastu is definitely not that one. Finally, I am strong believer of leaving certain things to experts in those subjects. I have been in US for more than 13 years and have seen people doing their own corrections (by reading website articles) trying to save few dollars. Please don’t do that. You would end up in causing more damage. I highly recommend you to engage SubhaVaastu in your next project - Satish - Dallas - TX - USA
