This is such a beautiful story!!! I recently traveled to Laos, which in my opinion, is Asia’s Greatest Mystery. Nobody knows what’s happening in Laos, as it gets massively overlooked by its neighbors of Thailand and Vietnam.
While in Laos for my second visit, I had a goal to find the most remote tribe in the country - which led me to the Akha tribe. They live fascinating, remote lives up in the mountains and they have the most incredible traditional dresses. I actually had to take a domestic flight up North to a tiny town called Luang Namtha, and then drive 7 hours across a bumpy dirt road to find them. And yes, they really have never had a foreign visitor!
The Akha tribe lives on the border of China and Myanmar - that’s how remote I was! It was such a fascinating experience to spend a few days with them. I was pleased to discover that they are holding on to their traditions, even as modernization is slowly creeping in.
This is a story of family, happiness and FUN. Thank you for watching.
PS - this was supposed to be part 2 of my TRIBES series, but now it’s Part 1 because my South Sudan ‘Cow Tribe’ video got flagged and demonetized on TH-cam. I’ll keep you posted on how/where you’ll be able to watch that video soon.
These tribe stories are my favorite, and they’re at my core of storytelling. I hope to do more of them in the future!

The idea of even a giant rat seems disgusting but that woman seemed so sweet and so genuine and so kind that I would totally eat rat with her. ❤
My grandparents, my parents, and we belong to Akha ethnic group, and from east part of Myanmar. Everyone in my family do speak Akha. Akha people are found in 5 different Asia countries: China, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. So basically, spoken language & dressing styles are a little bit different. Drew, it is lovely to see my people living in Laos through your video!
It's nice to see stuff about Laos, even though i'm not even from there. I just think it's an underrated country and not many people realise how beautiful it can be.
I’m so glad you out there traveling and having fun
Congratulations for your second wife, Drew. She is gorgeous
I was born and raised in a small akha village like this in thailand. I am now living in US.I do miss simple life ,all traditions and cultures.Thanks Drew!
I think tribal life is a lot happier than most, this channel produces the best content
As a Hmong American it’s so cool to see my culture represented in such a dope TH-cam channel!
I lived in Laos 2007-2015 and had been going to Laos since 2003. Luang Namtha province is my favourite province because of its beauty and diversity. The markets you went to look like the markets in Muang Sing, up near the Chinese border. Akha are Animist.
You have been teaching us about tribes recently, and I love it!
I LOVE the "tribe" stories! How have I not found your channel before now! I have such a soft spot for the indigenous people of the world. We got to live among the Tseltal people of Southern Mexico for 7 months and it changed my life. Thank you for documenting these cultures that are disappearing.
This was a really fascinating video to watch.
Fascinating travel story Drew. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
I visited Laos about 10 years ago. Of about the 30 countries I've visited Laos is in my top 2 for friendly people, Fiji is equal first with Laos in my opinion.
I’m such a big fan from Laos .Thank you Drew for visit my country and show our culture to the world
It's so amazing to see them just living their life and enjoying it, following their traditions. Thanks for sharing this story Drew. Your content is top notch! It has become so good that now I am always excited for Sunday when your video drops!
Loved this video Drew. It is amazing to learn about all the different cultures across the world. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this video Drew! My family is from Laos 🙌 so fun to see a different part of 🇱🇦
Totally awesome video @drewbinsky 😊
