I'm planning to arrive in Laos in February or March, and I would like to stay for at least one year and rent a small house. I just saw that the visa laws are going to change on Jan.1. I am 62 years old and have taken early retirement with a social security monthly amount of $1500.00. Will the new law changes make this problematic? Thanks so much for your wonderful videos!
i love Laos been many times... but am unsure of the visa situation. $300 for that house would seem expensive.... i have a house in Siem Reap city for $230
th-cam.com/video/8PF5e344rGI/w-d-xo.html Chris is a great person to sort any visa needs you may have. Unfortunately, much of the housing footage has GoPro sound issues or I'd be able to show you more options. There's plenty from the $200-300 range and some nice options for two bedroom houses for closer to $100. Come brother, you could live for the same or cheaper in a place with far more to offer.
Great thumbnail. Easy to follow. More like this! At the end of the video, I like the end screen so I can watch more of your content. More girls please!
Sign me up for coolest most extreme adventure possible in Luang Namtha please.;) How can I contact you? I want to go and make some awesome videos for the people on TH-cam interested in jungle trekking in Laos.
th-cam.com/video/8PF5e344rGI/w-d-xo.html Only change is Lao decided to give out 60 day visas on arrival till the end of this year with one 30 day extension then will go back to the original 30 days on arrival as Chris explains in this video.
That Cambodian-Lao border is notoriously challenging with the Cambodian side, but I don't think there's an issue with bikes from Cambodia unlike the situation with Vietnamese licensed bikes being denied and if they do get in then are still denied registration here.
You'd be correct. :) GoPro was busted up by thieves, but got it back and the sound has been messed up. Without the funds to get a new camera I've had to use post edit tools to eliminate the unwanted sounds, but that in turn means my voice is the only sound and it's very challenging to get a consistent sound level. People have complained about background noise in the past so no trouble hearing what I'm saying now, but thinking I might have to use my old Iphone to film after I've salvaged all this footage I have as the normal everyday sounds are part of the experience. :)
Found classroom language learning mostly ineffective. Create a language learning plan around what learning methods work for you based on your interests. I’ve found food has always been a great place to start in any language. We all love food, especially Lao food, and you have to talk about it countless times every day. I’d recommend youtube.com/@laoswithdalivanh?si=geLxnF64iR-Nb4YI First, I tune my ear to the language with lots of listening then try to mimic those things. Learn to read and write at the same time as it speeds up the learning process in the long run plus gives you the proper foundation. I'm working on my own through materials I enjoy then meeting with a one on one tutor with a specific task I want to master and going through questions from my study. Plan to make videos of foundational phrases to help. :)
@@BenjiZiggy you can extend a tourist visa for a max stay of 90 days in the country. No need to leave. Just go to the immigration police, its very easy
Yessss and no, it's easy to rag on the Chinese because their tour groups do suck when they come around, but there's also Korean and Western Tour groups, which no matter how you do it these tour groups congest everything and do ruin the charm a bit, but that's the nature of the beast in a touristy city isn't. On the otherhand this time of year there are sooooo many tourists from all over the world. It's equally packed out there with all colors, languages, and ethnicities making it an extremely fascinating place to be. Soon Luang Prabang will have to come up with a plan for the massive influx of tourist because the vans everywhere are an eye sore and create traffic problems.

Audio ????
Please explain. Audio is fine on my side.
Sounds like a voice over. Sometimes louder, no background sound. Maybe check your audio
@@LaoLegends Like a microphone with a noise filter.

@@LaoLegends Hearing the Koel birds yapping makes it more authentic
I was wondering how you learned to speak Lao. Book, person or school etc.? I’ve been trying to learn.

How to get visa extended if you want to live there?
Piece of cake. Either through an agent or yourself at the immigration office.
@@LaoLegends I heard u have to cross borders to get your visa extended for 3 months

We spent couple nights in Luang Prabang and got ran over by Chinese tourists literally.. They ruined the charms and well mannered Lao people 😢
