The families of two Australian teenagers who died of methanol poisoning in Laos in 2024 have expressed shock at the “disgraceful” fines levied on workers responsible for serving the tainted drinks.
The workers at the Nana backpackers hostel in Vang Vieng, a popular tourist area in the Southeast Asian country, received fines of about £95 (A$185) that the families described as an “absolute injustice”.
