I was born in Vietiane, now in the U.S. and hope to visit Laos someday. Thanks for sharing all those beautiful places in Laos.
Stay safe there will be something really big happening in Laos in coming months from now.
Thank you Gabi for taking us along. It was pleasure and a real eye-opener, and you have inspired me to visit Lao again after so many decades.
Thank you 🙏🏻🇱🇦
I'm so jealous. I need to go on vacation for one month. Laos is my top destination. I like the amazing natural views, historical sites, and the French colonial architecture town of Luang Prabang and hot air Balloon ride in Vang Vieng. The balloon ride company is own by a French business man.
It's called Above Laos. It's hot Balloon ride
Mr. Gabi: Congratulations to you for your remarkable visit to Vientiane this week January of 2023❤❤❤
Nice video! I definitely want to visit Laos at some point and especially the northern parts. I'd like to make a long trip through the countries in SE Asia. Greetings from Finland! 🤗
Hi,Gabi.
Lovely video,super place to be, very interesting to watch,as all your of your videos are.Thanks for sharing with us Gabi,roll on to your next one.
Sawadee kap,🙏🙏👍😊
Swimming pool very gorgeous !
Thanks Gabi. Lao has given me so many wonderful memories from my previous rides there. It has changed so much over the years and like you mentioned, it is a bit bittersweet. On my first visit in 2001-02 Vientiane was a small town and the road to the arch was a literally a dirt road. On my last trip in 2017 it had already expanded a great deal. From the looks of things now, it is transforming even more. i do have concerns about what I call economic colonialism where a country becomes more or less property of the "investing" country. I am happy for the Lao people in terms of quality of life improvements, but I fear some of the methods are somewhat ham handed. Sensitivity towards local values requires nuance, which can be lacking in exchange for fast and profitable development. Enough of the rant. Lao and the people are so lovely and that is where my fondest memories reside. The waving kids are so delightful, at the end of the day my arm is tired and the smile on my face has taken on a permanent presence. I am excited about going back again next month, at 73 it may be my last opportunity to soak up all the amazing beauty, energy and genuine spiritual nature of this wonderful country.
In coming decades from now Laos (the ancestral homeland of East Asia, mainland southeast Asia, and Island Southeast) will be the capital city of Asia.
Thank you Gabi! Your beautiful video brought back great memories of traveling through Laos. I really appreciate the variety of views by riding, eating, walking, talking, and the overhead scenery from the drone. Musical accompaniment is spot on too. It’s apparent that a lot of effort goes into your videos. Nice work! 😊
Thank you Patricia 🙏🏻🇱🇦
Mr. Gabi: Congratulations to heads Vientiane to tours around the city today in great & peace January of 2023.I wish you good luck always in peace in Laos 2023❤❤❤
If you are a fan of Starbucks ☕️ and there's one just opened in Vientiane. It's very nice and big. Enjoy the rest of your time there. Check out Le Thatluang D'oR Boutique Hotel, and you'll love this place
I had such a great time watching this. Thank you for the great adventure. Appreciate it.Greeting from Iran 🇮🇷❤
You need to enjoy life and explore the world. Life is too short to stay home. Laos is my top country to visit. Go to Luang Prabang for the amazing natural views and French colonial architecture.
Such great videos Gabi. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Gabi , thank you for sharing your road trip around Laos 🇱🇦 ...
Lived there from 1966-1973 as State Department brat. Lived in France, India, Iran, Laos and Philippines and have been to many other countries. 🇱🇦 Laos was my favorite and been back three times too. Enjoy your posts and drone shots immensely. 🙏
Thanks for showing us Laos. It was amazing to watch the journey...
Thank you 🙏🏻🇱🇦
The journey is only amazing if you go visit the country in person. You see it with your own eyes. I want to visit the small town of Luang Prabang. It has natural views, historical sites, and French architecture. Laos was a French colony in the year 1886.
Hey Gabi! Awesome video. This Monsieur Henry sounds like a very interesting person. Good stuff. Thanks for lovely vlog. Enjoy your day! See you...next time👌. 1 ❤️

Namaste from India Gabi

Thank you so much
🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@ridewithgabi I ask God for His protection over you always
😄😄l love your innocence Gab, just handing over your wallet, that's gold👍
😅😅
Nice nature and friendly people, I would love to visit Laos one day, thanks for the great vlog Gabi.
Laos has definitely become somewhere on my bucket list. It's very mixed emotions about the development, we saw Thailand in 2012 and a couple years ago and the difference was crazy (and it was already a fairly developed country!) Unfortunately it won't be long before their is a 7-11 or family mart on every corner and a maccas in Laos. It's good for the economy but like you say it takes away that authenticity of a country and its original heritage feel, like Laos seems to currently still mostly have compared to say Thailand or Philippines.
Luang Prabang in Laois lovely. UNESCO heritage protected so although there are lots of excellent restaurants/guesthouses it's very tastefully done with a lot of local 'normal' as well. Definitely no 7/11s.
You talk from a privileged point of view, maybe from a first world's white man's point of view. A country don't need to stay "authentic" just to satisfy your privileged taste.
Nice you have Lao flag . thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Love from India bro. I felt great because you stuck my flag on your jacket awesome bro
You will like Laos if you're from India. There's a small Indian community in Laos especially Luang Prabang town. Indian restaurants make good roti.
Love your travels vids are awesome 🤗🙏✔
I love this video! It gives a great impression of the feel of Vientiane, the most lovely Asian capital city. I can strongly recommend Métisse Restaurant, probably the best French Restaurant in Vientiane.
Great vid Gabi. What was that cool jazz track playing when you visited Thierry?
Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the track, sorry
Welcome to Laos.
Thank you for showing Laos to me. I found your channel because I wanted to see Luang Prabang and combine it with my Vietnam and Cambodia trip. Thank you. I liked all of your videos and I really would like to meet you someday 🙂
Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!! We will be in Vientiane and Luang Prabang again in January 2024 and we can't wait to return!
thanks 4 sharing
Welcome to Laos...
really was grate👌🙏
Another good one. Maybe see you in Thailand.
Stunning film, thank you dear Gabi, looking forward to your next trip!
Nice place Sir
It's only nice on video. You have to go see it with your eyes. Laos has amazing natural scenery, historical sites, and French colonial architecture in Lusng Prabang and Vang Vieng. If you like island life, Don Det Island in Southern Laos is very beautiful.
Welcome to lao. Thank you for traveling here
Thanks for visiting the country!
What is the name of Terri’s restaurant?
When will Hilton open?
I put the link in the description of Thierry’a restaurant. Hilton will open somewhere in 2023
Lao is a landlocked country that had the most bombs dropped by the American!!! I am happy to see this country growing and modernizing like Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia with the help of Chinese investments. They have HSR train and highway now!!! We don't even have HSR in USA!! I was in Luang Prabang in December and I love the easy life style there. Or maybe we as tourists have money to travel and enjoy other cultural. It's good to see poor country like Lao and Cambodia modernized to have a better future! I am tired of reading comments about a poor country improving or changing for better. These new growth are in new areas of the city or a new business in old run down building. They still have the old areas(poor neighborhood) to enjoy. I live in the US for 50 years and I see growth in my city. I don't see anyone complaining about new clean place neighborhood!! I have friends from Laos that have new business or joint venture with other countries to make more money from the new Lao. It better for the people.
Coincidentally,in Vientiane I also stayed at this hotel.😄
Ciao Gabi, grazie
aw! Thanks for this Video cuz I will go to Vientiane on the first of June, excited to to go there for just only 3 days (I think it's enough cuz I just wanted to explore Vientiane or maybe Vang Vieng) then going back to BKK!
Thanks to share your vedios
Beautiful video
The development of these countries is often from China as we saw in Cambodia. It can be a good thing if it goes not take away the individual characteristics of these beautiful countries but often they completely change and owe a huge debt to China!!
hope your next stop is in Philippines… visit siargao , batanes , palawan for you it will be a best ride for you…
I will 😉
Believe it or not, there are so.many Filipinos living in Laos. I don't know why. But they told me they like it there. The Filipinos that I met, they work in schools and hospitals in Laos.
Awesome video. May I ask if you had any problems flying your drone near the Patuxay Monument? Any good spots in Vientiane for flying a drone? Thank you.
It's worth pointing out that smaller motorcycles (think 150cc) are not allowed to use the Vang Vieng - Vientiane motorway and have to use the old, dusty road...
Hey just wondering if you ever see Royal Enfield Himalayan for rent in Thailand? I see them for sale but not for rent.
โอ้โห ..เมืองลาวสวยงามเหลือเกิน คนที่ทำร้ายประเทศที่ผุดผ่องอย่างนี้ มันไม่ใช่คน. มันคือปีศาจร้าย ขอให้เมืองไทยและเมืองลาวจงรอดพ้นจากภัยพิบัติ ทั้งจากธรรมชาติและด้วยฝีมือพวกเปรตที่ละโมบโลภมาก ด้วยเทอญ.
จะฟังแต่คำพุดคนอื่นไม่ได้นะ ต้องไปดูเอง 😁
Where do you recommend to stay in Vientiane? Bare in mind I won't have a motorbike.. it looks spread out.. looking to stay a couple of days,,,then of to luam PRA bang..
The center of Vientiane is actually pretty small. Around “Watchan” area
When you come to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 🙌 🤪 😏

Hi Gabi, just want to know if you spend your New Year in Laos?
No i left before… I was in Phuket
Hai mai ritrovato gli insetti al desk degli hotel,, o era solo il primo ?😂Hanno la bandiera comunista lol, stavo pensando di visitare il Laos un giorno, forse se si sviluppa un pò con delle infrastrutture è meglio.
No mai più trovati 😅
Is it my illusion or you are ordering fried rice in every restaurant you went？is it a fried rice competition or what？
