Laos Says It Can't Determine Cause of 2024 Tourist Deaths Linked to Tainted Alcohol The Lao government's admission that it cannot determine the cause of six tourist deaths linked to tainted alcohol in 2024 has raised more questions than answers about the country's handling of public safety.
The tragic events occurred in Vang Vieng, a popular destination known for its vibrant nightlife.
In November 2024, six tourists – two Danish citizens, an American, a Briton, and two Australians – died after a night out on the town.
