      Are you guys currently traveling? I don't see alot of masks or CoVid related things so it makes me think that much of the content may have been filmed pre-covid. Not that it makes any difference to me, just curious. I hope to retire in a year or two and drag my wife around the globe as we slomad the world for about a decade before we get too old.
      Your videos whet my appetite for a world of more adventure. Not that we haven't had our fair share of adventures around the world. We've been to about 25 countries so far but there is so much more I want see and experience.

      Taking Nagi of Mekong, is a huge upgrade, with the guide, buffet, and your accommodations. Having drone footage, also really allows you to show the beauty of the area. Excellent job of explaining the border crossing process. You are inspiring many people to follow your footsteps.

    The river boat looks great . I was in Luang Prabang about 20 years ago and booked a hiking tour through the jungle.it was pretty tough going but fantastic , we never saw anyone the whole day until we reached the village where we was staying . That was the first time that the village had seen Europeans. We stayed the night and was up quite early and as I stepped out side there was a group ok kids sitting there waiting to see this funny white man . Great experience the only draw back were we got covered In leaches going through the jungle .

      In 2010 I flew to Huay Xai from Vientiane and travelled by buses to Luang Prabang. Mainly, those little 18 seater commuter buses where they cram in 30 people. Heaps of fun though.
      It took me a couple of weeks, stopping over in towns and villages on the way. I travelled over the far north, along the Chinese border in some places. Very remote in many places but absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I was living in Laos at the time.

Carlos Hathcock "White Feather" USMC and I..., MOS 03-17 ) to go around the villages and hope the dogs don't start barking, made a little or significant problem... on our missions... I miss Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Bangkok ( R & R ), and Thailand... I enjoyed this video; it brought back many good and bad memories... So good...; I watched the video twice...

      Before Covid19, Laos was very easy to enter. Tourist visas on arrival. You'll need your passport with at least six months left, a couple of passport photos and 30USD in cash. Fill out the form, hand it to the friendly immigration guy/girl and you'll get a 30day tourist visa. You can also extend your visa at the immigration office in Vientiane.

    I lived in Laos 2007-2015, my wife 2003-2015. Luang Prabang used to be our long weekend get away. Fly up from Vientiane on a Friday, return on Sunday evening.
    My first trip to Luang Prabang was in 2003 when I was visiting my wife who was managing a development aid programme. LPB has become the hub of Lao tourism and has always been charming for a quick get away. It was a lot more undeveloped in those days, with much less tourists.
    My wife and I would fly up a few times a year but my favourite place in Laos is Luang Namtha province in the north on the Chinese border. Kind of like what Luang Prabang used to be 15-20 years ago.

      @@suayhughes8103 (Fun fact regarding “Roi Et “ province according to Wikipedia:
      The name of the province literally means 'one hundred and one' (Thai: ร้อยเอ็ด; RTGS: roi et ). Correctly, the number should be "eleven" (Thai: สิบเอ็ด; RTGS: sip et ), as the province was named after its eleven ancient gates built for its eleven vassal states. In ancient times, the number "eleven" was written "๑๐๑" (101) and the provincial name was written accordingly. Later, people took "๑๐๑" to mean 'one hundred and one' and have since then called it "Roi Et".[4]

    Hey Samy and Tommy, we really like your videos! 🤩
    It seems you traveled with suitcases. Would you recommend it? We always hear it’s hard in the Asian countries and easier with backpacks, but we not sure if we wanna have all the stuff on our backs. 😆
    How big were your suitcases? 🧳

      Thank you! We have carry on size rollers and we love them! I (Sammy) had a really bad back injury a few years ago and there is no way I would be able to carry everything in a back pack. It is a tiny inconvenient at times but not enough to worry about it! Hope that helps!
