Sorry for badly misunderstanding you, but I'll take the former since before the communist takeover, Laos has always been a monarchy and took a constitutional form during its reign of modern Kingdom of Laos.

Interview with the Royal Lao Government in-Exile

Under Kingdom of Laos, it is very culturally and politically similar to Thailand due to them building kingdoms that function under buddhist principles.

Laos shouldn't have been a communist state in the first place, as I see it as illegitimate and it is just bad when it comes to human rights, therefore rebecoming a monarchy in a few years is necessary, as many remembered the tragic event of 1999 where many protesters were arrested for demanding democratic reforms to the government. Subsequent attempted revolutions celebrating the anniversary of such incident also had their protesters arrested. Here's the story:

The tragic fate of Lao Students' Movement for Democracy

That, and coupled with the constant persecution of ethnic minorities (particularly the Hmong) and the notable disappearance of Sombath Somphone are the notable consequences that Laos should go back to being a monarchy and the continuous Vietnamese annexation should be completely halted too. However the extremely repressive nature of the Pathet Lao governing the country wouldn't be overthrown without violent forms of uninterruptive revolution or coup, or worse, war.

It would also be cool if the new royal government would accuse Vietnam for being the mastermind behind the spread of Communism in former French Indochina as well.
