'IMPORTANT NOTICE"
Hi All Todd is up to his eye balls making lots of great vlogs for when he is in Aus., so I am sending out a bit of a warning for anyone thinking of arriving in Lao now the border is fully open. Lao has been hit with massive fuel shortages which means most fuel stations are closed. I have no idea how long this will last, so would advise anyone that will be coming here to check out the 2 main papers "Laotian times", and "Vientiane times" for update information.
Important 👌👌 planning to come and visit Laos in the middle of July
@@WheresMarcoee Todd and Neenee will be back by the end, June so he will up date the situation then. Things have eased a bit, but it is nowhere near normal, what ever that word means anymore.
Oh.. yeah.. ..They are returning to the Stone Age. ...Hope they don't steal oil in Thailand.
@@cameron-wd6sd Who is they? If you referring to the people of Lao, I think this country(Lao) has the best chance of coping with the future. Small cohesive population, plenty of water, and a "can do attitude" that is missing in much of the world.
@@chrisperkins7331 "They" ....is Laos communist government
Laos is Great I go there often from Thailand, But Everything starts in Thailand! lol
Lao here I come . Can not wait to meet the most beautiful princess in Lao. Hi Neenee . ♥️🥳😎
Yes. I certainly agree. Thanks again for another great video.🙏
I couldn’t quit smiling watching all the fun 😀
Same.
Todd, what a festive atmosphere. Now, I feel like the wife & I will want to visit Laos and Cambodia. Cheers mate!
🤗🙏!
Loved it 😊. Thank you.
Take care.
incredible video ! it brings me a big warmful smile ! Thanks a lot Todd
What a blast! Great way to spend the last day of new years. Such a beautiful spot. Amazing this was that quiet empty spot from a couple years ago
Looks so much fun!! Great to see everybody letting their hair down and enjoying the festivities 🥳- crazy to see how different it looks to when you visited back in 2020!
Hi Todd. Nice little party there. Looked like a fun day. Cheers for sharing it.
The new guy's here to cheer Thailand up🥰🤝👍
Love going places like that and being able to say “we got the spot”…makes all the difference…looks like massive fun…
The drone view is awesome. Thanks mate.👍
Okay - Todd, that looks like so much fun 👍🙂
That looks like so much fun!
Look like so much fun!
To much fun. Stay safe my friend. God bless you 🙏.
It's amazing what a good old dose of entrepreneurial initiative can acheive. Good luck to them......the vibe there really hits the mark.👍👍😊
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB Wow how good Cheers Mate - while I realise this ain't everyday it sure is an event to look forward to etc - I in Viet now so will be seeing you soon
See ya soon mate, safe travels
Beautiful !!
Fun fun fun!
Just happened up on this video. Ironically Laos has been on my mind as another place to visit. 👍🏿
You rock thanks 😊 for awesome vdo
Chairs & tables in the water - why not 👌 neat drone shots - happy days 🍻 Thanks T 👍🙏😎
so true. can't wait to visit!
Great video! From Thailand 🇹🇭💯
Love the VDO you made .. Thanks
Excellent video mate, some real nice looking scenery there…
Hahaha.. yes there was 😋
What a blast, mate. Brought a smile to my dial as I sit here in my little office in HK looking out the window at some rainy skyscrapers.
Man, I would say Thailand IS now, Laos may be tomorrow, a BIG may be
Absolutely agree with you. Laos is a wonderful country with great people, but as a tourist destination, I don't think it will ever reach the heights of Thailand's tourist numbers (a few years ago pre-pandemic). Thailand just offers the best of many worlds, the countryside, the metropolitan city, and beachside resorts among many possibilities. You have a choice between the old ways of life in rural areas and major cities with all the modern amenities a foreigner could want. In 2019, Laos had something like 886 thousand tourists that visited the country. Thailand? Nearly 40 MILLION.
@@cgeorge3785 Dude Thailand is the best place on earth.
But my wife is Lao
@12:46😅 NeeNee, beautiful as always. Fun posting you guys. Be safe Cheers Semper Fi
What a cool party on and in the river.
Lovely people the Lao and so free in a sweeter simpler world.I love rivers it looks like so much fun.Thanks Todd these videos are among my favourites.
You're welcome 😋
Looks good and fun there!!
"betcha there's some serious peeing going on in that water" ... what a perfect setup. You can drink beer all day and never have to leave your seat!
nasty freaks only👍
😂😂😂
I remember that video from 2020 I did not realize this was the outcome of all that he was planning back then. Awesome job on his part. 🙏👍
Wow
Wow,, a great day... I think I might enjoy that!

Saibai guys Fantastic bucket list
That was insane!!! I've never seen anything like it!! Excellent video. I really liked the drone footage, especially the top down footage. Nothing like a drone to give you a better look at things!! Well Done Mate!!
Cheers mate 😁
Fun Fun Fun!!!
What amazing foresight they had to build the infrastructure for that island…WOW! Great video T&N, especially loved the drone footage to “Thai” ( or is it “Laosso”) it all together…
Thank you!
Party on mate!
Brilliant, no masks.
Thanks for showing a different culture. Looks like a blast. So much beauty . Take Care Mate
Never a dull moment in Lao 💚
I was very excited to plan a cycling trip for this November going up from the Mekong to Muang Fuang, overnight there, and then continuing on to Vang Vieng after watching your video from 2020. After this video...maybe not so much. Amazing how quickly things change. My friend in VV showed me the small river bungalows on the Nam Lik and they looked lovely. Until I saw they might be somewhere near this mess. Looking forward to seeing your experience on the river hotel. Safe travels and thanks for sharing.
Pi Mai is 3 days of the year.. there was virtually nobody there the next day
@@NowinLao Good to know! Not against a party at all, and of course understood the holiday exception, but I was just shocked when I saw the whiplash changes. Thanks for recon. It's back on!
Great video Mate !! I'm a simple man, I saw a great vlog , and I have subscribed, like ,comment, thanks for sharing it and greetings from Pattaya Thailand! 👋 👍
Much appreciated, thank you 😁👍
What a way to start the day for me. Cheers from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Have a good one mate
Welcome
That's really nice
Fun,Fun,Fun. "Just add water"... and a little drink.😃
Isan music is great. Awesome party music !
Awesome video
Very beautiful..
What a great party. :-)
Looks like a lot of fun ! I have to say I have never seen crowds of people sitting at tables, eating and drinking , knee deep in a river ! Keeps them cool in the heat I bet ! I went to Laos in 1992 or 3. Only Vientiane was open to foreigners then and Lowang Prabang (excuse my spelling !) But to get there you had to take a government package tour which was way beyond my budget at the time. Foreigners weren't allowed to go more than 15 km outside of Vientiane at that time. I spent about a week in sleepy (at the time ) Vientiane and headed back to Thailand and on to Vietnam. Great video Todd and am subscribing ! PS...I Can See For Miles is one of my favourite Who songs !
4:45 ha ha!
I can smell it! Great fun!
Awesome
Thanks for some insight into Laos
Definitely subbing to help plan my SE Asia travels next year!
Great stuff! Thanks Nicki 😁👍
It makes sense, they like flooding from all I've seen. Interesting fun music.
Looks fun time Todd/nene 🙏🙏🙏
Too much fun and be safe brother and sister!
Thanks, you too!
I don't see me hurrying to get there while Thailand is still open for me!
I agree Todd, Cambodia good too
Thanks but no thanks. I had no intention of going to Laos, and this shows I'm not missing much. Thailand is still number 1!
Fun fun fun 😄 cheers 🇱🇦
Looks like fun …
cool Sir!
Hey Todd. Love the videos dude. You got me wanting to get back over to Laos (it's been a few years)! Considering heading back over to and will see how things pan out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Tom.. stop in for a beer when ya do 😁👍
@@NowinLao for sure! Will do
I love your videos 🚀
Love Lao from VN💝
Laos has always been like that since 2005 back in my day Tod..I'm not usual a guy who gets envy but boy I really would love to be there. all the best to you!!
หาดสวยมาก
You got proper flip flops Todd .. lol. Bet there was a few phones went into the water. Great atmisphere lotsa fun. Bushyboy Oz.
There's parties like this every weekend in Thailand.
Yeah. Artificial funny parties.Money,money,money....you know.
Laos and Philippines are coming.
@@sahpraphaphorn6240 hardly. But I understand why you think that if your just hanging out wirh tourists in Pattaya.
That was awesome. There's nothing better than going to local festivals. Big up! 👌🔥🔥🔥
Great work Guys, the Laos people must be the world champions at celebrating. Just love it, I wonder how many mobile phones finished up in the drink late in the day
With a festival of some sort every month, they certainly get plenty of practice 👌
Hate to admit it, but it does seem like Lao People are specialized in having fun and mature in spirituallity, i.e. PARTY ALL THE TIME!
😂😂😂 Laos cannot beat Thailand at all 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video 👍👍ciao from italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️
👋
I like the fact that Laos still likes to live the old primitive ways and trying to keep all of their rain forests agriculture, that hasn't been destroyed by the Chinese yet. I hope to visit that beautiful country soon.
One of the primary reasons Laos hasn’t been deforested is the millions of cluster bombs that still remain after the “ secret war” during the Vietnam war. The US military dropped 260 million cluster bombs. 60-80 million still remain. If you go to Luang Prabang visit the UXO ( unexploded ordinance museum). As a American Marine Corp. veteran it was a disturbing acknowledgment of my country’s actions. We helped rebuild Europe and Japan after WW2. I believe we have a responsibility to correct the wrong that we have done in a country that we were not at war with. Seeing is believing. Sadly we did the same thing in Cambodia. But visit the country, it’s beautiful and so are the people. And the food is delicious.
The Americans had already bombed away half of their forest and population during the Vietnam War
Happiness
The fast train is convenient and comfortable
party 👍on mate
Lovely place!, reminds me of Isaan so much, I guess I'll need to hian wao Lao.
If you can speak Isaan, Lao is not much different 👌
Video good good
Just a dream mate!
I'm heading to Laos this year, after Vietnam!!
very nice looks like a plan 1hr there we getting old lol
Apparently, the great people of Laos know how to have a good time!
Great Party. Thanks for the video. I subscribed. Can't help wondering what is being dumped into the river upstream. I have not been Laos. But I have been to Asia. I know dumping into the waterways is common
Wow that looks like a lot of fun , I'm comming over just for that. Yeah Thailand is to expensive for Aussies now the exchange rate has been crap for years
Have you been to Laos?
when you are there try to
compare the cost in Thailand
in what you have spend.
I mean everything.
@@witttung3808 I have not been to Laos but I lived in Thailand for awhile that's not that cheap for Australians anymore , Cambodia is the cheapest place I have been to ,
I'm not seeing anything that looks better than Thailand but looks like a fun video and nice time.
💐💐💐
Thanks, Todd I think you just put Laos on a lot of people to visit places including ours.
😁👍
