Mr Khamvanh was speaking after his team lost to Thailand in the final of the men's regu event in Vientiane yesterday. We're not hoping for anything else so we got the silver medal today.

Spectators returning home after the SEA Games are assured there will be plenty of buses running to the north and south, when the games end on December Bus operators told Vientiane Times yesterday they had enough buses to provide everyone with a journey home, whether going north or south, and there was no need to worry about getting a seat.

An official in charge of bus provision at the Chitprasong Transportation Company northern route , Mr Khamdy Phimmasone, said there would be about buses available, including privately owned buses registered with the company.

The company has been able to provide extra buses at peak times in the past, especially at the busiest time of the year during Pi Mai Lao Lao New Year in the middle of April when many people travel, he said.

At that time there are more than 50 buses in service - double the number that normally run on regular routes. Mr Khamdy was unable to say how many extra buses would be added to cope with SEA Games passengers, saying it depended on demand. Bus companies are expecting a surge in customers after the games. As well as a boost in Lao passengers they anticipate a rise in foreign visitors travelling onwards to other parts of the country.

Transport providers had their busiest time at the start of the games when supporters from the provinces flocked to Vientiane. Extra buses were laid on between the provinces and the capital and they were always full, bus operators said. Normal services are running at present with one bus departing for the southern provinces every 30 minutes from am to pm every day and one bus every one to two hours going north from am to 8pm.

The situation is fairly quiet at the moment. He said more people were booking bus tickets these days, perhaps because they were afraid there would be a shortage of buses.
