Third Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge spans Mekong Somsack Pongkhao Vientiane Times Publication Date : 25-01-2011 The third Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge, linking Khammuan province in central Laos to Nakhon Phanom province in northeastern Thailand now spans the Mekong River, project officials said on Monday (January 24). Deputy head of the Mekong Bridge Project Nongsavan Thammavong said the bridge is now 73 per cent complete and is expected to open for public use in November. “We are planning to hold a Buddhist ceremony in March to mark the connection of the bridge,” he said, adding that construction is progressing faster than anticipated. The 780m bridge will also connect Thailand and Laos to seaports in central Viet Nam through Road No.12 in Khammuan province. Officials believe the bridge will boost trade, investment and tourism between the three countries. Construction of the bridge began in May 2009, funded solely by the Thai government.

She starred on the program for all nine seasons, along with Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Max Baer Jr, Nancy Kulp, and Raymond Bailey. The Beverly Hillbillies became the number one show in America in its first two years. During the 1966 summer hiatus for the show, Douglas made her only starring motion picture appearance, cast as Frankie in Frederick de Cordova’s Frankie and Johnny (1966) opposite Elvis Presley. The film proved popular and is among Presley’s most broadcast films on television but did little to open the door to a film career for Douglas. In 1981, she returned for a made-for-TV reunion movie.
