what is north of the bridge of the bypass? Currently a major road suddenly ends. You would be stuck in front of the bridge. Can you add connection to the road network? Can you add the roads still under construction in the north? Walking there with GPS to get the track?

the way/581633062 does not look like a major highway. Why is it tagged tertiary? Looks more like a track...

as no Mapillary available, here is the area on streetview: https://www.google.com/maps/@18.401278,98.8761412,3a,75y,78.25h,72.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3TZAF8meZKAmqVow3hABcQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I see the ref number listed on the rural road website, but is this really reflecting the reality?

This is a 500m stretch of road which looks at most like a residential. How certain are you regarding the tertiary status and the reference number just added?

you changed the name from Thai into English for some features. Please don't do this. The country is Thailand, so the official language is Thai. English can be in "name:en" tags.

Way: Karon Beach (134394729)
Also Phuket should be in Thai, not English

you deleted a lot of features there without much comment. Why had the features been deleted?

landuse=1 doesn't make sense. Is it lanes=1? Or a service=alley?

Why did you delete 549451125? It is clearly visible on recent aerial images, even not yet in OSM. Did you contact the original mapper?

way/574903669: how certain are you about "no evidence on the ground"? When had you been there? Google shows a very nice wide paved road there. OSM looked quite up-to-date before you removed the road classification. https://www.google.com/maps/place/15%C2%B034'30.0%22N+102%C2%B026'16.8%22E/@15.575,102.435806,1611m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d15.575!4d102.438

Ok. in general, we put in the tags what is on the signs. Corner-cases make it a bit more complex here. Signs can have shortened names due to limited space you have to expand. Spelling mistakes can exist on signs and here we suffer from different ways to do transliteration into the Latin alphabet.

I don't know what the "official" transliteration method is. In Thailand it would be RTGS. Not certain for Laos. The official one would be the preferred one for name:en (unless it has it's own English name). If the sign differs it would be good to add this as well in the alt_name:en tag so it can be found when searching for it. Adding something obviously wrong as name:en is a bad idea because the sign might be going to be changed on the next chance. For your notes: "Beu 10 - Ber Sib". Sib is the spoken word for 10. I have the tendency to keep the number as arab numbers. With it being on the sign, this is a good candidate for alt_name:en. The other differing transliterations probably as well, unless the one on the sign from your notes is also the correct official transliteration in which case it should be replacing name:en.

It's been a while since I was in Luang Prabang. I got a few hundred georeferenced photos. With some help I got part of it entered in Lao script as well.

In general I suggest to follow the successful tagging scheme also used in Thailand. Put the local name in Lao script in the name tag. Avoid to shorten the name. Use English name/transliteration in name:en.

If you can't write Lao, put only English. That's fine for a start. If you can take a photo of the Lao script, try to find someone typing it for you.

a variety_store is not the corner shop you wanted to add. shop=convenience is the tag

this is clearly a highway=residential. Why do you tag everything as tertiary?

56722071

please stop tagging everything as highway=tertiary

57275263

Hello,
please take caution about the classification of highways. The way/570532245 is only a dead-end residential road. A classification as tertiary is wrong. I have corrected it for you.

57049386

you added many ways with a temporary highway=road. Please take care to do a correct tagging, otherwise data can't be used in OSM. seems most are agricultural, so highway=track

56426351

why was way/504117425 not connected to the main road at the eastern end near the bridge?

50261630

way/507348977: leads to farmland. residential not justified

57126584

way/526553099:
It might have been fine, that the correctly tagged tertiary highway extends a bit further from the village onwards from the point where the road turned into unpaved. Residential sounded not too bad. Tertiary looks certainly wrong. It is leading only to agricultural areas. So probably highway=track is more appropriate. Why is the way not continued in the west? It is obvious that it continues there. And the different imagery layers support this as well.

roads ragged with temporary type highway=road. Shouldn't they be highway=unclassified as they connect villages? way/568266427
