Calotes bachae
At first I thought this was the Indo-Chinese forest lizard, Calotes mystaceus. But then I noticed the pattern differences also highlighted here "Calotes bachae has faint brown blotches on its back, along with a yellowish moustache-like marking on its face. The Calotes mystaceus, by contrast, has dark brown spots and a white moustache." ( http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/... ) IF this is the relatively newly described Calotes bachae, then maybe Laos is a range extension for it.
