🇱🇦 MUST DO IN LAOS - CATCH THIS SUNSET IN NONG KHIAW - PHA DAENG PEAK
มุมมอง 198ปีที่แล้ว
As I explore Laos, I went further north of Luang Prabang towards a city called Nong Khiaw where I did a hike at Pha Daeng Peak Viewpoint. It was a fairly moderate hike (really steep at some points) but it was one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen! Do comment down below if you are a sunset lover too!

🇱🇦 NOT IMPRESSED BY KUANG SI & TAD SAE WATERFALLS - LUANG PRABANG - LAOS
มุมมอง 679ปีที่แล้ว
As I crossed into Laos from Vietnam, I went to explore a couple of waterfalls in Luang Prabang with a motorbike. I felt that Kuang Si waterfalls was too touristy (or maybe it was just me who don’t really fancy touristy places - but went to explore it anyway to see and experience it myself). Tad Sae waterfalls was a little more rustic and natural (and I loved the journey of getting there especia...

🇹🇭 CHEAPEST TRAIN FROM HAT YAI TO BANGKOK - 3RD CLASS SEATER
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
As I make my way up from Singapore after crossing Malaysia, I took the cheapest train from Hat Yai train station to Bangkok. It was an interesting 17-hour ride sharing the same carriage with the locals, sleeping on a hard bench and with the wind constantly blowing in my face as the windows were winded down. Enjoy the video and remember to like, share & SUBSCRIBE! (:
nice video. by the way...may i know which Date u was in Tat Dae waterfall? wondering which month are the dry season
What document needed other than passport?
Are you still travelling? Waiting for your video.
Hi Nomad, its been a while, where is your next destination
hi kak, ada tips supaya dapat kursi sendiri gak ya di 3rd class ini? u got 1 kursi buat sendiri aja :D
What’s the name of the bus company you used?
cong ty huyen chau
Is there any luggage inspection ?😅 So smooth
How much for sleep bus guy?
On the way to enter Thailand like this, did Thailand border ask you to show onward ticket to exist Thailand or do they normally let people in on a one way ticket?
Hey there, nope they did not ask for any onward ticket. Sometimes they would just ask about your hostel/hotel name that you are staying in and that’s it!
@@NoFlightNomad lovely thanks for the answer.
Hi, many thanks for sharing your journey from Kuala Lumpur by bus to Padang besar. If you can assist me please? Is it better to start from Penang to Padang Besar if given a choice to choose frome Kuala Lumpur or Penang? Thank you.
Hi. So actually not 24 hours ya? Since the bus isn’t moving from 2am to 7am waiting for Vietnam border to open? 😀
Hi there, yes 24 hours to reach the destination, but not 24 hours moving time.
How much the tuk² fare from the border to huay xai city centre?
it was 100 baht/per person!
Madness…. Can’t wait for you To reach USA
hopefully if all goes well! 🙏
Hello! Thank you very much for this video. It's helping me a lot, since I will do this trip next february. Question 1: based on your experience, do you think it's better to find accomodation in Pakbeng once you arrive there, or it's better to book in advance online? 2. Was your hostel a good one? If so, could you tell us the name please?. 3. My family is worried since they have heard about violence related to drug traficking in the Golden Triangle / Northern Laos. Have you heard or seen anything about it?
Hey there thanks for watching! 1) I think it’s better to book it in advance because the whole boat would be fighting for the good value ones. But with that said, there are PLENTY of accommodation in Pakbeng so no worries even if u arrive there and walk-in. 2) yes it was a great hostel! It’s called Dorm Riverside and they can pack breakfast/lunch for u when u depart to Luang Prabang the next day! It also offers a great view of the Mekong River. 3) oh yes I heard about that online but I saw nothing about it in real-life. I didn’t feel unsafe at any point at all (coming from someone who crossed thai/laos land borders many many times) so don’t have to worry about it! Hope this helps and enjoy your boat ride! (:
@@NoFlightNomad Thank you so much for your response! I will be looking forward to your next videos. Greetings from Peru
no problem at all! Welcome to the channel (:
great video Thanx
no problem, hope u enjoyed it (:
Do Filipino citizens have to get off the bus at the border?
as long as you’re not a local, we have to get off the bus unfortunately
Is there an overnight bus from Luang Prabang to Hanoi?
Yes there are lots of them! You can get the tickets very easily from the hostel/hotels u are staying at.
I like this song
i like it too 😍
the bridge was paid for by the people of Australia to help with the relations between Thailand and Laos
wow really? That’s interesting! Friendship bridges between countries are cool!
good job!
thanks man! 🙏
Hey nice one, u went 3rd class no aircon?
yup that’s right! The wind was cold enough haha
@@NoFlightNomad going again let me know . Hehe 😆
How long it takes to pass the immigration and embarkation time to Hadyai
It took me probably about 15 minutes on each side. One tip is to try to be the first few in the queue while waiting for the border gates to open although the queue is usually not long.
Nak beli ticket yang murah ini dimana?
Hi, boleh beli ticket ni di Hatyai Train Station.
Welcome bro! 😊
thank you! 🙏😊
good luck bro
thanks alot! 🙏
plan to take CW2, wanna ask after singapore immigration clerance, i just simply take any CW bus to JB CIQ is it? or i need to take the same CW2 bus that i sit at queen street terminal?
yes, you can take any CW bus to JB CIQ. No need to be the same as the bus that you took to SG immigration.
Been there @ Xuang Xi waterfalls and i do find it charming and captivating, it has a different beauty compared from what we have in the Philippines. 💦
that’s awesome! Hope I can catch some waterfalls in the Philippines one day!
Wishing you the best of luck! Well done by not givn up your dream plan to travel, salute to you my friend! Mabuhay 🎉
thanks you!! Hopefully all goes well this time 🙏
Wew let’s go! 💪🏻
LFGGGGGG 💪🏻
Hi brother, thank you for sharing some info its a nice vedio. I just want to ask if what is the name of the bus station you ride to go to hanoi?
hi bro sorry for the really late reply! I can’t remember the exact name but it’s at the southern bus station!
"cong ty huyen chau" from the bus, you can google it.
hello my friend do you remember the schedule of the bus? can i buy on the day i will ride?
hey there! If I remember correctly, the bus runs once per day (around 6pm daily). You can definitely buy it on that same day you are riding it, but suggest to buy it earlier if it was around any public holiday dates as they might be sold out
@@NoFlightNomad thank you for your reply, can u teach me how to to the ticket store/bus station i will be coming from thailand. Planning to secure the ticket first thing in the morning when i arrive and leave for the night.
I was staying around Vientiane city in Laos and I took a short tuktuk ride to the southern bus terminal to buy the ticket. You can arrive a day or two earlier in Vientiane and go the next morning. I initially came from Nong Khai in thailand before crossing the border to Laos. Hope this helps!
@@NoFlightNomad thank u i don't have much time i will just pass by Vientiane arrive in morning then leave for hanoi at night
that’s fine. have a safe trip and enjoy the ride!
It's a shame that Tad Sae wasn't flowing for you. When they are running at full flow they are super magical - like a waterfall forest combo, something out of a Studio Ghibli film.
i’m sure it is! Just not the ideal period I guess. Will definitely try to check it out again during the wet season
@@NoFlightNomad I just looked at your intro video - very impressed that you're going to traverse the globe without flights! I'll be following your progress. Do you know which US coast you'll be hitting first?
thanks for following my journey! I’ll be hitting somewhere along the west coast (maybe New York) first and probably move towards the east. But I’m on a break from my journey now and will only continue again in October, hope u’ll stay around!
Hi, can i travel from bangkok to hatyai on third class carriage just like you?
yes of course, why not!
Wonderful to complete the train journey! 👍 I did many crazy and long hour train rides. Including, Hatyai to Bangkok. I also did a 72-hours train journey from Guanzhou to Shenyang (3rd Class Seating), the train fare cost me <S$18 (<RMB100)
wow that’s really cool and awesome! my longest train ride was only about 35 hours from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi. Hope I can do the Trans-Siberian train next time 🙏
@@NoFlightNomad Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi; tambang kereta api yang mahal.
howmuch for seat
it’s 259 Baht or about USD 8!
Where did you get the visa? Online or at the border?
thankfully my singapore passport didn’t require a visa to cross. there is no Visa On Arrival for this specific border (Cau Treo) so you will need to get it before hand. Hope this helps!
The scenery of Ha Giang is so beautiful, my friend! great !
Very very beautiful! Thank you for watching! (:
Hello!! Great video , we are doing this trip next we and we 100% want to take this bus, it looks good compared to all the others. How much did you pay for VIP and which company is it do you remember 🫶🏼
Sorry just seen you paid 600,000 😊 which day of the week did you travel Im just wondering how I can make sure I get this bus 100%
Hey thanks for watching! Yup it was 600k Laos Kip which was about USD 35. Unfortunately I don’t remember the company name but at the 0.20 minute mark, I went to counters 8/9/10 (left side of the bus station) to purchase the ticket. At that point of time, there was only one staff available and only one type of bus to Hanoi so I didn’t really have much of a choice. It was most likely a VIP bus. I bought it on the 9th of Dec which was a Friday. Hope this helps and good luck for your journey! (:
Nice video! Planing to do same route and would love to book same bus as you (looks much better then other busses I seen). Do you maybe know / remember which agency was operating that bus? tnx!
It was definitely one of the more well equipped buses! Unfortunately I don’t remember the agency name but at the 0.20 minute mark, I went to counters 8/9/10 (left side of the bus station) to purchase the ticket. At that point of time, there was only one staff available and only one bus to Hanoi so I didn’t really have much of a choice. Hope this helps and good luck for your journey! (:
Hii kindly share the information and train schedules for this 3rd class train. I checked online, only available sleeper class. Thank you, very nice video bro!
If i remember correctly, there were only 2 timeslots that day when I arrived at the train station (I didn’t book online or in advance). Mine was 2:31pm (train no. 170 - Rapid) and the other timeslot was maybe around 3:30pm. You can find more information here on the schedules for the various classes: www.train36.com/hat-yai-to-bangkok-train.html But usually 3rd class seater trains are rarely full so you will most likely have a seat even if arrived at the train station last minute. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! (:
What name of the vietnam checkpoint?
it is the Cau Treo border
the view is insane wow
totally worth the hike!
At least they were affordable. Thanks for sharing and good luck avoiding the Bear's lol. My father and I love to inspire and be inspired by other travelers. As park rangers with degrees in anthropology, we are drawn toward content with information on culture, historical sites, ecology and local food. I appreciate you sharing your experience and I look forward to being here on our Drive around the world. - Bear
welcome to the channel! Hope the bears will avoid me too 😂 oh wow that’s really interesting! I’ve subscribed to your channel. Glad to share my experiences and hopefully we can inspire each other and the world with our stories (:
@@NoFlightNomad Our sentiments exactly, and thanks for the sub.
There are waterfalls in the Philippines similar to this one you went to in places like Cebu and you can swim.
will definitely visit the Philippines one day to explore more waterfalls!
Would have loved to see more of the hmong people and their cultural attire! Great upload as always
that’ll be interesting! Will try to have a chat with them the next time I see them✌🏻thanks for watching!!
Thank you for the video again young man!
my pleasure! Hope u enjoyed it!
We see black bears around my neighborhood in Orange City Florida.
hopefully I don’t encounter any during my journey! 🙏😂
I will be in the Ha Giang area approx Feb 12 can’t wait :)
