Yes it could. It's probably changed a lot since I was there, but I would get a script for Cipro or another equivalent wide-spectrum antibiotic effective for GI problems. I wouldn't drink anything that didn't come out of a bottle or use ice in my drinks, and I would be careful about not getting bitten by mosquitos (sleep under a net or a strong fan). Not to sound negative, but forewarned is forearmed.
Yes! My new son in law ended up in a hospital after a nasty GI infection over there. He may have gotten in Laos, but he finally gave up and went to a hospital in Thailand as kept getting sicker. He spent almost a week there before he was released to come home.
