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:
Thanks Todd. I have had 7 enquiries so far today with others saying they will contact me at some point. So I am now getting quotes for the basic set up of services and security (that the village will insist on). Set up costs likely to be $500 to $1,000 per site. We harvested they rice yesterday and got about 3/4 of a ton of un milled rice, with the help of friends and family. It was the way it always used to be in most places around the world, which is far better than using contractors.
Everybody helping each other.. how it's meant to be.
My pleasure Chris, anytime! Love getting away out there mate, very peaceful. Great to hear you have some interested people.
Just finished editing Pt2 now which will be up Friday morning our time 👌
Thanks again Chris 👍
You are Legend, sir! I want someone like you to be my teacher...🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
Which part of Laos are you at Chris?

I love Laos. I will be saving and getting in touch. Chris seems like a good man. Thanks Todd nice work
Chris is living a more than sustainable and healthy life , his passion for homegrown is evident and many people will benefit from learning from him & with him - Thanks Todd & Chris 👌👍😄🙏
Good to see Chris again. Nice little homemade corn sheller.Looks to be a very stress-free life. 🙏👍
Tonight in Vientiane I had Morning glory, mussels, fried rice with crab, fried prawns, tom yum gung, and a large bottle of water. It cane to 285,000 KIP (US$18). The prawns alone in the UK would cost more than that. Laos wages are not relevant to me; I came here with Western (well, Middle Eastern) money. Only cretins would stay in the West.
Enjoy freezing this winter, Europeans! 😍
Such a peaceful place and wonderful man Chris ...He is really living in my Dream life ..❤️
Great vlog Todd. Chris is a bloody legend.
As always, love the down to earth videos of daily life in Laos. Wish I was younger and better shape. I’d take him up on the land offer. Take care and stay safe. Cheers.
I'm definitely interested in this or at least the concept! Just return, today actually from a tour of vietnam, plan to be in laos next year so I'll for sure take a look at this project when I'm there 👍👍👍
sounds amazing compared to things currently in Thailand, everything has gone more difficult, visas mainly and the prices to get those without ridicilous requirements. There might be time soon for me to relocate. Im plumber/electrician 🤙👍
I think it is a much easier place to be if you can cope without a sea front.
I relocated to here (Laos) from Thailand! 😊
@@vagabondvibes2578 How are you finding it here? No regrets?
Not so keen on the commune idea, I'd want my own space and certainly my own kitchen, but to find land to rent long-term that I could build a small place on to retire in a few years, that would be awesome!
Chris Perkins---you are MY HERO!!respect!
very good work 👏
Thanks for your video. Looking forward to moving to Laos and to help my native people
Yes .....winter over...
This is a great idea!
Beautiful country 💞
This is wonderful. ❤
Howdy Todd! I got a few videos to catch up from the past few months on so starting with this one.
A year and a half ago I would have jumped at this, but stupid me went and got a new job and a girl so will only be quick trips for me.
Planning on a few weeks in se asia early next year so maybe have to trawl your vids to see where to stay in Laos :)
Take care and keep them videos coming!
Did the new job come with a girl!? 😲 Hahaha good onya mate. Would be great to see you guys over here 👌
I would be very intrested in this Eco Village. will be going to Lao in December for 3 months to explore this idea.
I was thinking about having a little small solar home where I can go & back to states from time to time.
economy is not good everywhere. I'm only 3 hour drive to Niagara Falls, canada eh. we will have to keep in touch from time to time
Thank You to Todd & Chris a peacefully life is all you need.Not very far from the city 3 hrs to Vientiane.Whats the best weather time to visit & The bridge to Thailand should be ready before Dec I presume ty.
The road to VT is normally 2 hrs, and will be less than that when the new 4 lane road is finished. The bridge will be the end of next year I think. However there is a ferry that can be used in the meantime.
What a deal Chris. And your right you have to go to lao and live for time and try it out. Retirement for Harriet and i in the west is becoming more challenging. This is an offer to consider. Thank You
Todd and Chris for the info. 🙏🙏 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.
Incredible offer Jim. Really beautiful and peaceful area out there 👌
If you don't have the cost of a return airfare you better stay home
interesting business.
Coming soon to laos, hope to meet Cris and Todd. Love Laos, currently in Vietnam.
Happy to show anyone around
We need more retired Australian to live in Laos mate!!!
ENGLISH
Mate that would be superb
😁 Todd im a musician so this caught my ear. The intro song thats on this video is the music from Pearl Jam 'Black' but the vocals are totally different which sounds cool too. Its not PJ playing but the chord progressions are there 😆
Ahh very good, you do have a good ear. Yes, it's a remix/mashup of James Taylor's "Old man" with pearl jams "Black". Tracks like this sometimes fool the copyright detection software youtube have 👌😁
heyyyy uh, quick question.. is that the good stuff there on the left at 11:03?
Like vidéo freind.
🤗🙏🏼!
I wish I could bring over either a mobile home, a trailer, or a tiny house; to put on a portion of his land.
Loved the video. Thank you.
Take care.
Why not just build what you want here from local materials.
@@chrisperkins7331
Hi there Chris,
You’re right, that’s true. I don’t have the funds though Chris, I’m just full of hot air. Perhaps some rich people could make that happen, or better yet, they could build a few huts, and make it into timeshare type of a place.
Although, one of my dreams is to come to stay a month or two every once in while, after I’m fully retired, that is. And that would come in handy.
Thank you for your suggestion. I admire your resourcefulness , you’re so handy, and hard working man.
Take care.
Best regards.
Tèo.
@@teoschatz8430 There is a possibility that a hut or two could be built for casual visitors, it will all depend on the energy of those who come as permanent residents. At 75 I I wish to focus on other projects around how nature works.
@@chrisperkins7331 🙏🏼
That’s awesome news, I believe it will happen. Best wishes to you.
Wow! 75…I hope I’ll be haft as good of shape as you are at 75.
Thank you for the heads up. 🙏🏼
Love the positive vibe that Chris wants to build but that great utopia, short term hippy heaven, has been tested and tried for close to 100 years in various nations and proven not to work (in the long term)...I'd rather take a plot of land and make it what I want, not what the collective thinks is ideal, and be solely responsible for growing my own food, cleaning my toilet, my kitchen, and not wait for my neighbor to get around to it. Pay the 500/year and rely on myself. I know, I've been living in communist China for more than 24 years. That said, what Chris has is a beautiful fertile property that can sustain off-the-grid players for a long time...sort out the visa's...and make a mad dash for Laos.
Hello TODD and CHRIS,
Once again a nice and interesting video.We are a retired French couple and are 76 and 74 years old. We are very handymen and this would interest us, because we have lived all the time in different countries. It is a project to mature, if the age is not an obstacle.
We are always following your beautiful videos and staying in touch.
We noted Chris's email address which we immediately liked.
Cordially.🙂
Age is just a number, intellect is ageless.
@@chrisperkins7331 Hello CHRIS,that's true.W'e stay in contact by mail.
As someone who has just knocked down the old family home and is building a 4 bedroom house... I'm now in for just over 10k USD, with maybe another 3 or 4k to go before construction is done - including paving the yard and painting.
Construction costs in Laos are nothing. I have found that tiling and cabinets are the most expensive part of builds. Ceilings if using gyproc are up there - electrical insulations aren't the cheapest either- but the actual shell of a building in terms of putting in a floor, roof and walls doesn't amount to a lot.
Absolutely! Thanks for great input mate 👍
🙂👍
Hi, Chris. My Son is in Loa with a woman who demands that he support the entire family, including a farm that they have but are starving and does not seem to be able to sustain itself. He is retired Army, disability. So he is not rich but looks like it to these people. My concern is how to help these people survive without killing the golden goose, my son. She lives off 9w, outside of Savannahet. Is that near your at all?.
The more important question is pensions, it’s all very cheap in these places, but have you enough to retire. ? Is there enough in your pension pot??
how is the postal service there in Laos reliable? For example: If i order items on Amazon or any Online purchase, am I gonna get it deliver?
I have had things sent to me via the local post office. I just put the word "Post Restante" then the name of the town or city.
ก็ลองคุยกับเขาดู
💯🔥💙👍
hello chris.what about the long term visa for lao.do you know.i am from new zealand and lived in cambodia and lao for short time.currently living in vietnam last 3 yrs.my visa is due soon and do not want to do border runs every 30 days.
No problem getting 1 year visas, without marrying a local. Cost around $600 a year.
Contact Chris Barth!
Hi @@chrisperkins7331. Thanks for your informative video. Is this 1 year visa coming with work permit ?
Let the chickens 🐓 have a bash at the corn on the ground 😋
I did
how much does it cost to rent a house with two or more bedrooms?
We are not renting out houses just a space to build your own
I dont understand, if he leasing the land, how can he have other peole for building there? I am very interested but i have land in Paxcan, good video
Can i come i contact with him, email or something
@@janm.7053 My wife (who is Lao) owns the land. Yes email me by all means.
we're going to have to keep in touch from time to time. I was thinking about just getting one of a small solar home just go back & forth to the states one day. London economy has fallen & I here Australian economy is not good either (not sure) & we could be next. how's it over in the east, I here china is on lock down or are they just lying cause they cant there money out I dont know
Things are getting bad everywhere you look. China is getting insane with the zero Covid idea, and the west is just unaffordable. Here in Lao whether it is my project or a G/H, is easy on less than a grand (US) a month, and the weather is not as bad as you think.
@@chrisperkins7331 xi wil put china into a famine if he keeps it up
@@khon6339 You can only hold a nation in chains for so long, Xi will fall at some point.
@@chrisperkins7331 after what happen to his predecessor last week. we can only hope for the best & there people
I have a dream like that 😏😏when I'm done with semi truck driver in US
You know where we are when ya done mate.. 👍
That's a nice place. What about dating Lao women?
It is complicated, contact me on my email.
😉😉🤗😀😊😊🤔🤔🤔
Where in Laos is that?
12 kms from Paksan. Between Vientiane and Thakhek
Vientiane?
Or where?
In Paksan Bolikhamxay Province Laos.

Hey Todd,,interesting machines,,but not my bag, so to speak. What's going to happen in the world is going to happen,,no matter what we do or where we hide. When the time comes,,we'll live or die. Nobody in any of the tiny villages in Ukraine has anything to do with whether the war will hit there,,just the same as Lao,,or Vietnam or anywhere affected by war or natural disaster. The concept of utopia is superb,,,but it has never ever proved to be real.. have a good week buddy,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
Your right "whatever is going to happen is going to happen". So the logical thing to do is to live where bad stuff is less likely to happen. Storm damage is less likely, as is war, community disintegration, over crowding, and food insecurity. There are few places you can name that can say all of that about them.
Does it come with a woman? I remember the last street party we had here was in 1994. I think this guy will live to 100, good luck to him
No you have to find them yourself, but there are plenty of local girls who like the idea of a farang husband (remember you have to buy you cant rent one)
@@chrisperkins7331 done
Think he’s a little off his rocker in regards to creating a community. But it doesn’t matter what I think lmfao
I have lived in an intentional community, so have good understanding of what it takes for them to succeed or fail. I may be off my rocker, but really tough times are coming and if you are relying on yourself to get through it then it is not as easy if you know how to share the way we used to in the old days.
what language is he speaking?
English as that is where I was born and educated.
Monthly wages in Laos don't equal daily pay in the UK so you can't compare the price of filling a gas cylinder in Laos with filling the same cylinder in the UK
Even your British pension is greater than the average person in Laos would dream of getting.
That's the point Tony, it shows how much further your dollar goes here 😉
Cretin. No stabbings or street gangs here, and I eat out for US$5.
Muppet.
So he wants others to improve HIS property. How is that helping "community"?
The idea is for people to create a nice place for themselves for up to 60 years. I could just grow trees on it. I am 75 so what ever happens up there wont make much difference to me personally.
It is hard to be stress free when you have to spend $2,000 to fly to Lao, before any additional expenses starts.
Pretty sure it costs to fly anywhere 😐
I'm flying anywhere in US and it's cost a lot more than that if you don't wanna pay so you can Walk there then cheap person
That not communism, that's hostel life. Bahahaha
Hahaha 😝👍
Lots of things in Laos are tax free.. food and clothing for example..
@@chung388 Depends where you buy them, the big stores in the cities have 10%sals tax, and the stall holders have to pay a small tax to the local community. However the tax system in Laos is nothing like as structures as in most of the world.
You can't sustain a decent life on 3 acres let alone a group of people
You are correct, but that is not what I am trying to create here. Any farang will need to come with some cash, and income. However the quality of life they will have here on those resources will be a whole lot better than where they are most likely. It is not for everyone, but I think it will interest enough to make it work based on the level of interest I have received in the last 24 hours.
I'd rather have my own house and land without a wannabe colonizer / slumlord around 😂😂😂
You're not gonna get that for $10 a week. Onya bike 😏
I watched your little effort at a vlog, looks like you really have it made, good on you.
Sounds great until you realize it's a third world country, Few roads and most are dirt, few stores, very little industry, terrible medical care which is a major concern for older people thinking of moving to Laos to live cheaply. It's not the garden of Eden.
Sorry Dave but you a completely wrong in what you say about Lao. As an older person myself I am confident that the local health system is good enough, or you can go to one of the new Thai hospitals either in Lao, or just across the border. I don't know where you live but where ever it is health care is either a long wait or very expensive. I have lived all over the world including UK US and NZ, and in my opinion Lao is far better for may reasons.
@@chrisperkins7331 I live in the US and have 20 employees from Laos working for me. They tell me that for any kind of good health treatment you have to go to Thailand and pay cash. One of my departments leads is vacationing there now. They all go back to visit but they live in the US where they can make a decent living
@@davem453 Well I want to the main Lao hospital in VT a few months ago, because I had a bleeding ulcer. I had a camera go north to south and south to north. My total bill was less than $300 all up. Many Lao people have views based on the past and have little understanding of how things have changed. I was living in the states for 5 years from 75 to 80 and (no disrespect) think it is in serious trouble.
Please watch, you may realise Laos isn't as backward as your employees make out.
th-cam.com/video/sxVwF2rRotM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NowinLao
@@chrisperkins7331 The average annual income in Laos is $2400 so $300 there would be like me having a $8000-10,000 bill. There's a reason people come over here and work until they can collect social security and a pension and then move back to Laos. I've seen similar videos to yours about the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand, all low income cheap places to live. From what I've seen in the videos I'd pick Vietnam first and then Thailand. But I do like your videos.
i have a house near your farm, are you selling the land? how long is the lease? do we build our own house i lease it? and how much land are you leasing?
Please contact Chris with the email address provided in the description.
Thanks
