As a second generation Lao/American and without much Lao culture in my daily life, these videos give me peace. Thank you for the quality and output my friend. 🙏🏾
Glad to note from the market, that the people must have a much better livelihood nowadays. I attended Lieutou, the Chinese public school still there, but in my time it was a two wooden storey building in China Town. I watch the videos of the alumni, situate in Paris though it has much smaller outlets in Australia and Canada. In fact, I attended some short courses in Alliance Francaise, and Lao American Institute also. The two buildings are still there. Most immigrants from Laos stay in a suburb of Sydney, forget about its name, as I visit it once some 12 years ago.
Great video Todd.. love the market sad no tourists... I hope they won’t shut down... love love love the country side.. so relaxed atmosphere... thank you...
love the vid of that drone flight right at the end there...things changing so fast wonder how long those scenic little mountains are going to last...those chinese so hard up for raw materials they blasting small little mountains like that just for the rocks..my cousin had chinese coming to him to bye a little mountain for the rocks, i told my cousin don't do it because your land around the little mountain is fertile because of the rock minerals in the mountain (more like hill) that washes away to your land little by little...keep up with the videos Todd and maybe 20 years from now everyone will see what they lost
Thanks for taking us along on this amazing trip. Just so many wonderful scenes and sights too numerous to mention. Will definitely have to see it for real one day. 👍👍😁😁
Hi Todd,,glad to see you back,,but I'm hoping you've been taking a break from editing for a few days. Loved the market,,but the drone footage was fab too,,be safe,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
Hey mate, sure did. Had more than 2 weeks off editing. Had some vids scheduled to upload while we were traveling, but obviously not enough... that's why no vids in the last week. All recharged and ready to go again mate 👍
Bro. I wished I can go with you guys. It looks like ur have so much fun everywhere you go. Do mind if I go with you guys and you can show me most a beautiful place.. I love to see many places in Laos..
Yeah, I can relate to traveling those roads in the day time and night time. Must have took some time and all the video editing too...Good to see you and Neenee doing alright. I guess I wasn't the only one worried about ya...
Todd, I have really enjoyed watching all your videos, traveling through out Laos. What a beautiful country side you have shown. By the way, have you been to Salavan yet? I don't recall seeing any of your video featuring Salavan. If you had, I would like to the town and the people who live there. Thanks from USA 👍😃😎
In Lao alphabet, like in Thai, the "k" is pronounced as "G" : grand, great, good... So the stopover to Luang Prabang is pronounced:"Gasi". Is the transcription a "KH" then it is pronounced like our "K" : Phou Khun, you pronounced it right, the small market on top, where it goes down left side to L. P. and right hand to Phonsavan. This "g-k" is confusing for us westerners. So, the first letter in, Thai and Lao alphabet is the ก, pronounced like g:, but in the language books you will read: kin khaow - eat rice - I suppose you know the Lao/Thai word for "banana" :Gluay, Kasi, kin Nam, Kaysone Phomvihane, gin gafe.... But ("k") :Khun, Khammouane, Khmer.,Khon Lao.... I came buy chance over your very interesting videos, took me back into Dezember 1998:After 3 nights in Vangvien(12.000kip/night),me and around 15 other backpackers were waiting on the Highway outside Vangvien for the 9.30a.m.-bus from Vientiane to L. P. The bus was already full, so 4 people(including me) were sitting on the roof of the bus. In Kasi, the bus stopped for a coffee and we realized that sitting on the roof would be to dangerous in the mountainous area. We stood inside the Bus, cheek to cheek. Nowadays Laos has modern roads. Good luck for your trip and stay in Laos.
@@NowinLao As I married a woman (Lao Loum) from Vientiane, I have been there many times till 2017 (my last stay: I came along with a Swiss friend who did the "visa-run" to the Thai Embassy in Vientiane for the first time) In 2017,my "cheap" room in the Touristical area near Wat Mixay ("Mixay G. H.") was 100.000kip,but less standard than a Thai room for 400Baht. Except of HuaPhan, I traveled to every Lao province. You can ask me any info,

That market is full of delicious produce Todd.. Thanks for sharing the vision 👌👌👌👍👍👍
Nice to see you guys. Missing my Lao travel fix. Looking forward to your southern adventures.😎🌴✌🏼🦋❤️
I like the way the laid back Aussie attitude works well with the laid back Lao and Issan way of life....speaking from experience here..😎
I have heard more than once the Lao being referred to as, the Aussies of S.E.Asia 👍
Another generous vid thanks CHAMPION
That was a quick 10 minutes. Good walk around though! Thx for posting. :)

Yes, you are right. I see these small mountains being eaten away far too often here 😠
Thanks mate

Beverly Hillbillies spot on Mate
Even the Beverly Hillbillies are in the game tho ... however, admittedly funny 😆
Thanks for the video! Driving after dark - agreed - no way! (Drunks, no lights, pot holes... and that's the M1 motorway in UK! ) 😆
Hahaha 😝👍
Was getting worried there. Where you been?
New adventure 😉
@@NowinLao Yes, your wife posts before you remember 😉
Early
😀😃😊😊😊😊🥰😄🤠
Where have you been?
These villagers live off the land and grow their own food. Anything they have left over is for sale at the local market.
Driving at night in the country side is dangerous! Could it be that it’s haunted?
The dead can't hurt you... it's the cattle, drunk drivers, bikes tractors and cars with no lights and speeding trucks that do the real damage 😳
Do Lao people eat dogs bro?
no, that's in England and New zealand that they eat dogs,
