Is it true to say that Lao script is a simplified version of the Thai script?

I get the impression that the Lao script is simpler at least in the sense that it has less letters.
- Lao script has 27 letters from my count of the letters chart in the Wikipedia article while the Thai script contains about 39-44 letters (it depends which letters are considered "obsolete")
- In a quick check I found its diacritical system very similar if not identical to that in Thai
- Lao tone markers are essentially those in Thai script
- I don't know if its a matter of reforms (and if so, by whom) or of selective adoption / sharing
