About the time in Lao
Clocks in Lao stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +7 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Thailand.
Around 4,511 people live in Lao, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Lao day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 02:00–10:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
