According to the Quang Tri Province authorities, these days, border gates see 1000 passengers and vehicles passing though on a daily basis. Among those, about 500 people have been passing through the La Lay Border Gate which is 300 more than the average day. Vietnamese workers in Laos mostly work in the fields of construction, mining, trading, coffee and rubber growing. In order to ensure that there's no overcrowding at border gates, the border guard and customs forces have intensified its activities to make procedures quicker.
