Sabaidee and welcome to my channel....Now in Lao!!
My name is Todd and i am an Australian currently living in Laos with my wife, Neenee.
This is a channel primarily dedicated to Laos and the people who live here, our daily lives and our travels within this amazing country. Thank you for watching and if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask, by either commenting or contacting me via Facebook.
Now in Lao .... Vlogging Laos !!
Music:
I don't know, but for me as a person from Russia, best months to live in Lao are from October to January, when there are no rains, everyday is shiny, without clouds and the temperature is 24-29 with nights at between 12-25 which is very comfortable for me.
Lord, protect me from the Catholic , Protestant, Evangelical, Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Muslim, Buddhist, Judaic and branhamists gods Because they are gods who easily send people to hell.

I like Loy Krathong, full moon in November, any town with a river to float your krathong. Perfect weather.
Like your commentary and love the black & white photos at the end, Todd. So much memories of the years growing up in Laos.
Great advice Todd, thank you. Loved the music, LP scenes and the black and white photos at the end. Nice to see your Mum too.
🤗🙏!
Loved the video, and the photos. Thank you for the suggestions.
Have a great weekend.
Great advice Todd. And a question a lot of folks were probably wondering 👍👍
That was my favorite place in southeast Asia. I stayed there for three months, fifteen years ago.
The worst day in Laos is better then any good day in the US.
Lord, protect me from the Catholic , Protestant, Evangelical, Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Muslim, Buddhist, Judaic and branhamists gods Because they are gods who easily send people to hell.

No 💀
Why do you say that?
Beautiful scenery what ever time of the year
Gday Todd - quality info and amazing footage - a happy place - take care 👌👍😃👋🙏🇦🇺
They don't have very much but they enjoy life more than most of us who have more in the West .
Great video as always.
I totally agree with you about when to visit. I am in Siem Reap, Cambodia and it is same same.
Hot and very smoky. Praying for some rain to clean the air and to cool down.
My parent's homecountry. Nice to see as someone who was born in america. I feel like i was able to understand a little bit more about my culture from this video. Thank you. Would love to visit it or travel their one day, possibly.
sok dii pii mai ai Todd.
Great drone shots.
Great stills.
I wish I was back in LPB!
I won't be coming to anywhere in SEA during the first quarter of the year ever again. Smog during my trip in Feb/March this year was too much for me.
y'all do such a fine job with your content and great vibes..ty..xoxo 🥰🖐🤟✌👍🤪
Love ya work mate. Great drone footage and great music choice
Thanks Gary 👍
Good morning Todd we still love all your video cheers buddy keep up the 🙏👍👍👍👍👍✌🍻🍻🍻🍻😎🇦🇺
Carry on with your super music...everything you play is great😊
Yeah, Todd, last April when I was in Cambodia, I thought I would catch on fire, and I'm from Florida. Thanks for the black and white photos, Todd!
Great 👍🙂
just got back from the Saturday weekly night market in Nongkai. Never seen so many food carts before. Was such a pleasure to finally meet you Neenee and your mom Todd. It was nice to let me join you for dinner. I had a great 7 days in and around Luang Prabang enjoying the New Year celebrations. I will be back in Laos and see you guys again once I get settled somewhere for a bit. Will continue to be a fan and learn from your two channels. I'll drink a Leo beer to your health! (no damn Beer Lao for a while I reckon)
Look forward to catching up mate 👍
I'll say it again, your mum look's young enough & active enough to be your sister!!! Jing Jing /True!!
Good Onya Mum!
Harriet and i hope to visit one day to Luang Prabang and partake in the water festival at least once in our life. Thank you so much for taking us along .Sending you all the best🙏❤🙏
Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.
Another great insight see if you can get mum to smile haha
Beautiful country, visiting in October
Brilliant
Seems water festival like Holi in India, celebrated in March .good info.
Great video Todd just got back from vieng vang 😊
We were in Luang Prabang around 10 days ago when the AQI was hitting a mindblowing 600+ The most polluted place in the world at that point. I lived in China for 12 years and have never seen anything like it - you could actually see a smoke haze *inside* the hotel room.
I flew my drone for about 10 minutes in Vang Vieng, and it was covered in a layer of black soot when it landed.
Can only hope that 2023 is a wake up call and the situation starts to reverse next year.
..fk that...
5 You inhabitants of the earth, can a man know this offering if God does not reveal it to him? No. Never! And this is my belief. I am one who believes that God can only accept what He has revealed. Everything Moses did, it was God who revealed it to him. The construction of the ark was a revelation from God to Noah. And the Lord Jesus said: "I do nothing save whatever I see God doing first." Everything I have done and preached to this day, I have based myself on divine revelations. Branhamists say of me: "With Kacou Philippe, they are dreams and visions" and I say: Amen to that. For example: You pagans, a force can immobilize you in your sleep and you do not know what it is but I, with my own eyes, I saw this satanic force move in a house and I defeated it. And it is this force that will immobilize the dead in their graves when the prophets and those who believed in them in their time will resurrect and go up to heaven.
6 In 1993, I stood in the same place as Moses in Genesis 1:2. The earth was in darkness and it was the appearance of the Angel and the Lamb in heaven that brought Light to the earth and I went and stood with them on the waters. And we formed a constellation above the waters. And one morning, I was invisible to men. I was a transparent cloud similar to the mirage which is above fire or the ground when the sun is scorching. I was the angel of judgment. And I could see people and I could hear them and I moved without a body in the sky but nobody saw me because I was invisible. God was showing me that I am a prophet, a rishi and that one day, when I leave the earth, I will return to this divine position with those who have believed in me and who have received purification through my Message, which I received from the Angel and the Lamb on April 24, 1993.

@@lisettenzi6605 ..so you are nutz, right...
Thanks to Laos, one of the culprit, not only parts of Thailand but Malaysia also was affected by the haze.
Hi Todd! Been a serious fan of your videos on Laos. I m traveling this May to Laos via Thailand. I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Hope it won't be too hot in Thakhek around May. All in all, great video mate. I understand your emotions. This slash and burn has to stop somehow!
Hope it cools down a bit for you.. but it's traditionally one of the hottest then. Safe travels Casey
Wow your video really gave a good image of how bad the smoky haze is right now. I had heard about how bad it was in Chiang Mai but didn't realize it was also bad over in LP. My wife and I are planning to drive to Laos in a couple months time, during the rainy season, so we're hoping the rains will clear up the air. That said, the roads will be more challenging given the risk of landslides, mud, etc.. We will be going up to the border with China and all the way down to Si Phan Don. We weren't originally planning to go so far north, but then your videos changed our minds and made us want to follow in your footsteps! We will be stopping for a break in Vientiane midway through our journey. So we plan to drop by your restaurant :)

Hey brother,,the days of the great wind down,,when everyone goes back to normal! Lol Ttyl,,,Marlon
A+
Yes exactly , I’m actually making video and touching the similar topics:)) now driving back on my Honda win from north to down south 😅 oh man to drive up north was fun but now it’s real game :D it’s sad to leave, but I was breathing smokes for last two months, need a break, I’ll come back after rain 😜
Wellcom to Laos PDR
Thanks Todd for another glimpse of your life. Still loving the monochrome stills at the end of your vlogs. Here in Khon Kaen, NE Thailand we, like you are suffering from the heat 41 degrees the last few days and the pollution, whilst not as bad as Chiang Mai or Luang Prabang, is still pretty bad especially for an oldie llike me with COPD, but heigh ho I chose to live here and as you say, once the rains arrive things will improve. Apparently there is a heat wave all over SE Asia at the moment according to the News. Take good care of yourselves, God bless 🙏😀
We just had a nice storm here Graeme cooling things down a little. Really looking forward to the wet season this year, take care mate

I go may june and july i love it hot and theres not many tourists its havean
I was in Laos this past February doing the Thakek Loop out to the Vietnam border and the smoke in Central Laos was unbearable, I'd intended to stay in Laos for a month but decided to cut it short after 5 days.
O M G! This is hilarious guys! So I’ve been a long time Viewer of your channel and have basically been based in Vietnam since last November. You inspired me to venture into Laos and cruise around especially by motorbike. So about 3 weeks ago I spent 4 nights at Villa Wanika in the exact same room! Lol! 😂🤝😎🙏Luang Prabang is a special place. I rode from there up through Nong Khiaw and all over. Actually stayed in the same place by the bridge in Nong Khiaw. 😜😂
Have fun guys and Thanks so much for the inspiration! 🛵🌏🌍🌎🙏
Be Well Friends!

Yesterday I flew rom Seoul to BKK at night & could see the fires. Pretty smoky down here in Hua Hin also--164 AQI. I'd like to come to Laos but I'll wait a month or two. I appreciate your channel & content, as always. Thank you. Btw: I've wondered why hotels in Laos are more expensive than Thailand when other things are generally less (in my experience) Any ideas?
Travel words of wisdom Grass Hopper or maybe its Alby Tangles ?
No better time or place for unhappy individual.
I love abroad low season hot and cheap
Take. More picture.
Air in Thailand also terrible. It's the hottest part of the year too. Bought an air filter.
Vietnam is better but hazy and very hot too.
Going to Vietnam? Land on the 2nd or 3rd of September. All the schools are back so less traffic. Maybe same same in Lao.
Umm unfortunately the crop burning 🔥 has been bad this year, lots of attention on news media has been affecting the tourist numbers. It’s becoming a big issue and solutions are needed! Very mild and respectful Songkran celebrations there. Here in Pattaya its way over the top. April 19th was wild, I drove on the roads and the whole of the Pattaya area was crazy with water party’s and foam in the streets!
What about going to Laos in June ? Is it a good idea?
Very nice video!! Between September an October which month would be better to visit Laos?
Both are great but less chance of getting wet in October plus the boat racing festivals at the end of the month ending the Buddhist lent 👌
😎👍🏻
Planning to visit Laos this July, what's your opinion about visiting during this month of the year? People tell me it will be too rainy to enjoy any outdoor activities, is it true?
The rain falls mainly in the very early hours of the morning and afternoon. You'll occasionally get short falls during the day. Ask most people who live here.. it is their favorite time of year. The air is clear, it's not too hot, everything is green and growing. Rivers are flowing and waterfalls powering. No need to book anything because for some reason.. people think it rains non stop and are scared of getting wet, so therefore fewer tourists 👌 Lol.. you'll be fine. Yes, there may be some days where the rain has settled in, but it's well worth it. The MOST BEAUTIFUL time of year in Laos 👌
When the best time if the month to go to laos?
The pollution is bad in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, it's the season and well worse one yet,
Is that Vang Vieng or Luang Prabang that you were walking around mate??😊
Breakfast in Vang Vieng then in LuangPrabang later that day
@@NowinLao Thanks Mate. The Country Should Now Recognise Your Work and Make You Their Tourism Ambassador Mate, For Being So Consistent. 😍😁😊
Jeez your game Todd letting your mum run out beer.....ha ha ha ha
Lol.. nah I never, she doesn't drink beer, she was waiting on her wine 😝
Hi there, I am allen from China, and I will be in Laos in few days, is there any chances we can have an appointment? It would be so cool to meet you in person, and hangout a bit,I've been watching your videos about Laos, thanks !
Hey Allen.. normally I would say drop into our restaurant and I'll pop down to meet you but we're closed at the moment. Outside of that I usually only take myself away from work to meet up with my Patrons, otherwise I'd never get any editing done. Hope you understand mate and have a great trip 🙏
@@NowinLao do you have any contact methods I can reach to you ? I have no idea about Laos now , so would be great to have some food at your place
Todd I know your not a government official but do you know if they are doing anything about the slash and burns?
There have been governmental meetings by the country's responsible.. only time will tell if it's for show or not 🙏
So do they always throw water at people or is it just during a certain time of year? And is there any reason behind the throwing of water?
Just this time of year. They are celebrating Lao new year which is held over many days. the water is to signify washing away any negativity or sins of the past year for a fresh start in the new..
@@NowinLao Wow, that’s awesome! I had a feeling it wasn’t just to cool off. Sounds like a fun time with a good meaning behind it👍
The burning is a nightmare this year. As an Australian it beggars belief that they would just randomly set alight to the forests to hunt animals. So many forest fires everywhere. It is heartbreaking. And clearing forest to grow rubber! And some foreign investment company gets carbon credits for planting trees! Who ever manages that system should be shot. The air here in Luang Prabang has been AQI particle count well about 100 and up to 660 since January. If someone doesn’t do something it will kill the tourist trade at what can be a fabulous time here. This year is exceptionally bad - for the record - and 5 years into a drought up this way too. Cassava like you say but I have been fortunate enough to speak to well informed people from the ministry and Lao National University. There is a lot going on this year. And yes, worst ever. I have Lao friends in their 50s here and they have never ever seen this. Fortunately it rained last night and there will be a bit more this week! Hurray! Everyone has coughs colds and bronchitis by now! But wow! It is so beautiful when the smoke goes. Just wear masks if you come at this time and make sure you have air con. 😂🎉
Thailand is no better with the pollution atm
Is April a good time to visit Laos? Weather wise? Temperature?
Hottest time of the year... Very dry dusty and stinking hot. Great New year water festival tho 👍
@@NowinLao Great video sir I’m heading to Laos in the next year but not sure what month to go? Any tips? I’ll be solo and staying in hostels
@@walterwhite3143 from Sept to Jan is usually best weather wise 👌
Bit price for lao 35 us
If i want clear blu sky i stay in norway. :-) and im not . More to life than the wiew :-)
Not if that view is killing you 😉
..right you guys, hey fellah, you dudes ok?...impressed by the ending with b/w photography/ brilliant n so effin hot there, 30 @ night omg lucky you're Aussie n had experience with heat, psychedelic green rice fields n strawberry fields too, I guess, let's 'duck across n get a feed', so aussie you have a surfboard in your gear, I guess, just in case ...waterfalls dry up omg, as polluted as shanghai, been there, omg....can see why everyone is spraying water as so fn hot....nice vlog but 50 bucks for a hotel room is not for a budget traveller, guess you're doing well, all is well in Lao with your wife by your side, I would say, anytime of years, cheers....oh, watched it all, liked it all, 'hey dude", you always call Laotians 'dude' and your viewers 'guys", just wondering, dude
Cheers Geek, thanks for the like and feedback. Kinda miss ya trolling.. 🙄 Ha! Nah I don't 😝
Hmm sometimes I'll call em bro or champ.. the audience viewers, but guys mostly. Am open to suggestions 😉
@Now in Lao ..you're so aussie in your vernacular, that's you, adds a certain dimension to the channel but international audience wants international language could be wrong but straighten out your delivery but then Norman gunston did interview Mel Gibson...I don't mind, can relate to it. Know aussie culture but hang with Canadians they are most neutral of accents, you have 2 choices, go all the way with being aussie or get international n pay attention to speech delivery, my guess, ride the aussie wave but bloody this, bloody that, stone the crows mate, just don't be in the middle...
@@akaBANGZaka I'll be myself 😉
@@NowinLao ..only way 2 go...
So when IS the best time to visit?
September to January. Prettiest time is in the rain season that starts around June and goes to Sept
@@NowinLao thanks, what do you think about now, and until the end of May? Is it too late (especially for nature exploration) because the rainy season started? Thanks!
@@TaskSwitcherify still very dry and hot now. Rain season hasn't started yet
@@NowinLao thank you! 👌

4 But know that if someone torments us like Achan or unworthily follows this Message, he is under the curse of 1 Corinthians 11:27-30. If you are sitting there with some sins and people are confessing around you and that does not tell you anything, know at least that you will be filled with demons and with curses. Know that you came into the house of God just to return from it cursed rather than being blessed. Beware because sin is not a second nature for the sons of God and God said to Moses: "Those who have tempted me ten times will not enter into the promised land." Every time you sit there with some unconfessed sins in your heart, this goes up before God in the Heaven. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. [Kc.18v1]
#PKPCHANNELTV
What a lot ofg RUBBISH ... My God is loving and fgorgiving GOD
4 So we understand, in accordance with Genesis chapter 2, that woman was not there when God was giving the instructions to Adam in the Garden of Eden. There is a reason to that! She was not there when Adam was naming the animals, the birds and others! You see? God did all that so that woman may humbly recognise her place.
5 And speaking of her ministry, if a man has not come on earth to fulfill a mission like Judas Iscariot, he cannot admit a woman in the pulpit; and if you are not a goat, born to be seduced, you cannot sit to listen to a woman preach or lead songs when men are there! Even if she does it well, it is the devil that is behind. Nature itself teaches us that a woman is not carrier of seed. She can therefore not preach and bring eternal Life. And only one boy among a thousand of women makes the "they" feminine change into "they" masculine because of the authority of man.
6 A child of God cannot go against what God has established; even without the Holy Spirit, he will be disturbed. The Bible cannot contradict itself. If Jesus had established a woman apostle or disciple, then he would have not been the Messiah. If Paul allowed woman to preach then Paul would be false. No matter his miracles, they would be miracles of seduction. [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”].
7 Woman’s ministry and the marriage of homosexuals are the two biggest abominations of the end of times. And a person who enters into a church where women preach, it is like a person who takes part in a parade of homosexuals. 2000 years ago, mankind did not know that one day, homosexuals were going to parade in Jerusalem. 2000 years ago, mankind did not know that one day a woman, despite her menses, was going to preach before people in some churches. [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”].
5 You inhabitants of the earth, can a man know this offering if God does not reveal it to him? No. Never! And this is my belief. I am one who believes that God can only accept what He has revealed. Everything Moses did, it was God who revealed it to him. The construction of the ark was a revelation from God to Noah. And the Lord Jesus said: "I do nothing save whatever I see God doing first."

I never visit Laos during their crazy water festival. Every year more and more people are dying during the festival.
