@@lambertgiang I was travelling in India in 01/24 and I found India fascinating. Maybe you can't compare Indian High Speed Rail to Chinese High Speed Rail, but I found India had more historical monuments and more sophisticataed architectures to explore and admire.

True, Laos are generally very hygienic. Indian cities Delhi, Agra & Jaipur where I have been to were all very polluted. I do not think I have been to any nations that can be so polluted even the indoor air of my 3 star hotels. Pha That Luang is nothing comparing to the Burmese Shwedagon though.
Very comfortable
Yes, but pricey for what you pay for.
Peace and prosperity to the region.
However Laos and Cambodian rapid prosperity has been bothering Vietnam in the lately years.

That's too much for India to accept in comparison
