~~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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lao_script) 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](https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/lao/)
* I don't know if its a matter of reforms (and if so, by whom) or of selective adoption / sharing
