- Somewhere on Earth is heading to Asia, to discover Laos.
Leua, an itinerant vendor, spends part of each year traveling with his family on the Upper Mekong near the borders of China, Burma and Thailand. He knows this mythic river inside and out. Pheng is also an inveterate traveler but he sets out for the most remote corners of the country at the wheel of his old army truck. Pheng, who practices meditation, is progressing on the path of wisdom that all Buddhists dream of traveling.
A thousand km to the south, near the Cambodian border, are the Khone Phapheng Falls, the largest in Southeast Asia. Sohane is a fisherman, a very dangerous profession. Working above these turbulent waters, he places his life in the hands of the spirits of the Mekong.
What if paradise exists as a place on earth? In this 48 x 52 mins series, we travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world.
This film was first released in 2015

hi
😢***WATCH 23 MINUTES IN HELL BY BILL WIESS SUPERNATURAL NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE DOES LIFE EXIST AFTER DEATH WATCH THIS THOUGHT PROVOKING STORY AND FIND OUT?
Since, you put your family in danger you should have life jacket.
Steven, Don’t be judgemental. Have some empathy.. did you not see how the villagers paid them for their pots.. a piglet? It is called “ bartering” I suppose you expect the Boatman to go to a store in Luang Prabang to exchange the piglet for a life vest . That piglet is food for the family for a week or 2.
I bet he would love to send his daughters to School but alas….
Have you ever been to this part of South East Asia..? If not, please understand that 95% of the populace in Laos, Burma, Cambodia .. etc. “ eke out a living”
I qualify to explain to you is because, I have visited all these countries & have seen with my own eyes… how these people live.
****DOES. HEAVEN AND HELL. EXIST ? SEE THE NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE BELOW AND FIND OUT.******
