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:
Couple things, you sound very biased against Chinese. I am a caucasian and hard for money so I can enjoy the good things in life. It may not be for everyone but don't criticize the people that want to work hard and get ahead in life honestly. Would you rather people earn money the shady way..............
Wtf are you going on about? Just because we want to shop Lao? It's no different than advertising "Made in Australia" on retail items,so people can buy and help their own country. Give one example of me being negative about China. Christ.. I just got jabbed with Sinopharm you fool. Would I have done that if biased!?
@@NowinLao It's one thing to youtube what you do and see at a local area but why bring up Chinese at every turn. Show what the locals have to offer but why constantly bring up Chinese. If you want to shop Lao, shop and show it on your channel. Don't knock Chinese or any other cultures. The program makes it sound like only the Chinese are interested in making money. Every capitalistic person is interested in making money.
@@budha7012 Wow you are a very sensitive and paranoid person. Again I ask. Give me one example of where I am knocking the Chinese. Pointing out a hotel is Chinese owned and we would rather stay in guesthouses owned by Lao people is not knocking the Chinese. It is saying we would like the Lao people to prosper from our business.
Why waste time with a 50 center, it’s just not worth it.
I’d be doing the same thing! Always support the locals as much as you can ! Good on you !
Great video..Vietnam vet, Thai wife for 38 years died 13 years ago. Speak, read and write both Thai and Lao...could settle in and feel right at home there...nice to see folks driving on the correct side of the road😆
Love seeing the markets in Laos! Would love to visit there. Thank you for taking us along 👍❤️
Most westerners who've never been beyond their own backyard would probably find this video boring. I loved it. I've been all over the world on all the continents except the frozen ones. People often ask me what my favorite country was. My answer is always the developing or third world countries. In those places all your senses are greatly heightened as you move about sticking out like a sore thumb. Very exciting. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Couldn't agree more mate. In those countries, you KNOW you're somewhere else and their culture is thick. Most first world countries are pretty much all the same. I enjoy being outside of my comfort zone, experiencing life like you can't back home.
Great comment brother 👍
@@NowinLao I made an extended trip around the world in 1973-74 and count it as the highlight of my life. I never saw anything the same after that. Travel broadens.
Great video Mate. Dont know much about Laos. Nice walk with the Lady enjoying the sights and sounds. Cheers TC
thanks to show us about sekong market,it so great,love it when i see it,i lelt laos 46 years ago,i am missing lao very much,i am too old,still have a dream,a gain thankyou very much for this clip
Are you in America - ? Let's plan a trip, if you want to go back - ?
Of course you're helping the local community, that's how it's supposed to be. I do that in my country, buying as much as I can locally made, from food to clothes 👌👍♥️
What an awesome market. Great to see commerce happening they way it should. Beats a 7-eleven or Tesco any day
Awesome video brother. Be safe in Laos 😬👍
Lot's of very tasty produce at the market today Todd.. 👍👍👍
Great local market to support only, as the say in the History books Long Live Laos.
I just wanted to say I enjoyed your video, Brought many memories from the past. I love those people
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
*Thx4Sharing Gr8 Content* 👍🇺🇸
Very cool video , stay safe cobba
When you mentioned the name of the town, I did a double-take because that's also the name of my favorite little club band from Isaan (Sisaket).
I am an Asian and my disdain for things Chinese have no limit.
I'm British with Chinese relatives by marriage but they left china when the communists took over in the 1940s, I like the Chinese in Taiwan and Singapore but I don't like CCP either
Thank you for the video :)
You're welcome
My dad Mick Hayes set up that UXO Lao way back in 1997
Nice wander around Sekong , yes I think a locally owned hotel etc. warrants more support - it is dark at night if you are out and about - Thanks T - enjoyed it 😎🇦🇺👍🙏🍻
I like your show ...it stays on course about the Laos ppL,...the Laos culture...Laos food...Laos budget living...Laos housing etc ...newly found places to hang out in Laos... Laos scenery... Laos street scene... Laos newly built areas .... Fun to do things in Laos... Laos vacation spots...& all BEAUTIFUL THINGS FROM Laos ... ( I am Glad U stay off of "abrasive issues" like ALL other Utubers ) .. geared towards tourism & expat living (& even business) & the like ...
Always loved the night markets
i love it .... i have never been to Lao, but i can see and i can feel the atmosphere of Buddhism. i have ever visited Thailand for three times. people in the markets are always ready to buy some foods which will be distributed for the Buddhist monks with the tradition of Pindapata (charity)
Thank you for sharing all this good video clips. I’m hoping to visit Laos visiting my girlfriend next year if they ever lift the travel ban
Looks like an awesome destination! I went to India last year and this place looks 1000x cleaner and the air looks safe to breathe! It doesn't look like you need to dodge people, rickshaws or dangerous obstacles while walking either. People look very friendly and don't haggle or try to rip you off on every turn! Uploaded May 2021. I don't see people wearing masks and I hope Covid didn't affect them too much! As soon as Covid dies down, I may consider this as my next destination. Thanks for the insight and great video! Thumbs up from Canada!
Hey Bryan.. your assessment is spot on. Uploaded in May but we passed through that area in Feb', and at that time the only cases in Laos were those detected at the borders. There were no restrictions at that time and could move around easily. Fast forward to now and Delta, we're not doing too bad considering, although everybody is now masked up and lockdowns in place again. Doing much much better than our neighbours 👌 Touch wood 🪵
Cheers mate, and thanks for the music 👍
nice vedio... i see ur all vedio... thanks fr share ur experice in oter epoes.. im sri anka... tace care and wish lobg live
Reminds me of Vietnam in the early 1990's. Seems peaceful and safe. Unlike Cambodia which is always edgy even today.
I'm considering visiting either Laos, Cambodia , or Vietnam. which one is easiest to meet women who like farangs?
You and your wife are doing us and Laos a great service. God bless you both.
Thank you 🙏
Always a pleasure too look at these Beautiful Laos women.😍🤩🙏
Exo Laos does a lot of work there
Loved the night markets
you nailed it mate, did you do the slow boat ?
Wish I was in Lao, Sydney Australia is so boring. Have been to many parts of Thailand and Vietnam, and have enjoyed the culture. Hope to get to Lao after covid.....Thanks again for your great VLOGS....Jeff
Love from laos🇱🇦🥰
Nice video.
Love your work mate, very good balance of the fine things in life
... I am grateful for the kind attention you pay to Laos.... What is the average Laos Opinion of the Hill tribes?
Most definitely support the little & local entrepreneurs first 😉🙏
Especially the little kid with the dead pet squirrel 🐿😳
love it that she wants to help local Loa people
Todd can see plenty. Lol. I’m stuck between Utube and a hockey game. Go Leafs go. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
Cool
great to see the electric mobility , love to see how & where they charge up !
Good onya Neenee and Todd, keep the money home.
🤗🙏🏼!
Great video, thank you.
Those dark disks like, next to the chickens, I’m guessing they were coagulated chicken blood, good in Lao dishes.
Have a good one.
Ah right. Yeah I'm used to seeing them chopped up into cubes, but you're right, they were the same color as that 👍
I have to go to Starducks for a coffee...then again no way! I agree keep your money local!
Hey mate, Enjoying the channel not many vloggers do Lao. That round thing your talking about near the chicken its blood. They sell them here too. Cheers Aussie living in Thailand.
Cheers mate, thanks for that. Hope you're keeping well there 👍
the brown things are pounded sticky rice i think, the hmong purple rice i think
sounds like your lao is getting pretty good
1:00 good for her. Support local business!
Yes give the Chinese hotels a wide berth for sure. The amount of Chinese influence now is getting a bit sad. Enjoyed the relaxed look around the night market. 👍👍😊
Thanks for sharing.🙏
Wish to live in a locality like this and move around for a month. A simple $5 a day housing will help. Coming one day.
Good Morning Mr T.
Good morning Big B 😁👍
I apologize for the two dirtbags at 1051. Most people are very friendly.
Love the walk around, thanks. I really like wandering through local markets anywhere I go. Tells you a lot about a place. Also like the comment, the men would not be at home drink beer lying in a hamock, correct they would be drinking Lao Whiskey :-)
Hahaha Very true!
Lao is another pawn in the game. The geopolitical game is more complex. Common people in all countries will believe the pysops operations.
like the video. what are you using in video? thanks
Most of the time I'm just using a GoPro 8 👍
I'd rather spent money on the locals only and im very pround of doing so.
Vẻy nice
Yeah mate, sweet and sour pork is usually dependable.
Funny, I always go the chicken unless we are by the sea.
@@lingdinh4510 so when your'e by the sea, you have pork?
@@wallywombat164 Sea food!

Todd, I'm so tired of Mexico that I went the whole 100 yards... applied for my certificate of entry to Thailand thru the embassy, my police background check, international health insurance, quarantine accommodations , etc. etc. And even scored on my ticket and then the borders closed completely. Had to push the ticket all the way to October...DAAAAAAYUM !!! ; will it ever end , or will I be in Mexico forever
Todd thanks for video.It was good as usual. I would like to ask you what type of visa do you have? How long is it good for?
thanks todd.
I have a spouse visa. Lasts 1 year, can come and go as often as I like, and a simple renew process once the years up.
Great job sir
Nee Nee is right, stay away from Chinese everything. I know I lived there for years
Except for the girls mate
Mirip di Indonesia ya..💝🥰
18:52 A bit of new information would be appreciated mate!
Do the women still sell opium in the market ? I haven’t been to Laos for 17 years . I loved the place stay safe .
9:00 those are eggrolls (deep fried). Spring rolls are the fresh ones.
Never heard it called an egg roll! Is that an American thing? To me they are just spring rolls fried or unfried (but mostly only see fried) it’s very interesting. I have heard the Vietnamese gỏi cuốn referred to as spring rolls by a few American friends as well, I only know them as summer rolls in English (neither correct haha)
are you saying that they don't deep fry spring rolls
Good point about the generic, in this case, Chinese style modernisation. In some countries it is the US version 😆 and here the Chinese version. Sterile is the word. Same reason I hate malls in Australia! Sterile, big multinational companies, not the real deal local stuff, which Australia in my case and Laos in your case, have. I love local stuff in Australia and o/s wherever I am. Not generic sterile capitalist (I’m afraid of germs and bugs stuff). Has nothing to do with Chinese. A point lost on one of your viewers apparently!
HELO GOOD DAY
Peaceful town no Covid-19, not to0 much cars! 17:10 those banana in US $4.00.
"They must be able to smell farang, I reckon" is the line of the day. Well done, sir.
Hi! LAOS
Hi Banana 🍌
You said it, "I've said it many times...I am probably boring you..." Yes, you are.
All good mate, you're not required to watch, but thanks for the view and comment anyway 😋
@@NowinLao thanks for the reply.
This is a hotel and the basics are lacking. Just look in the toilet area.
Walls showing dampness above the bed in the main room.
Suppose if your used to less than a tent, it's good.
In Laos, instead of goin' to the bars to meet women, you go to the market. 👍
Most definitely 👌
I though Laos is in lock down do the covid. Be safe
You are right, it is. This was our trip to the south of Laos in February. Thanks for watching.
@@NowinLao oh wow 4 months ago and it was pretty much dead then, and now its in lockdown bless em, lots of love to you guys hope your doing good..
Have to look on the map where Sekong is located, i was reading through all the comments and saw lot of negativity about this and that regarding the chinese, i didnt notice any bias eather way, so i think its not correct, then again regarding that china has a big influence in this part of the world, its just common sense to be wary of what the long term consequences are, people should know and learn what companies they deal with are they chinese or american or whatever, and let them decide where they put their money, in the longterm its easy, in a capitalist society the best bang for the back wins.
Thats my take of it, then apart from that its politics and this channel i think isnt political so the comments from these people are very much unnecessary, and perhaps agenda based too.
Great video but when was this taken?! Why everyone not wearing masks!😱😱😱
Hey Danny... back in February mate. Zero community cases back then
Lao is still under developed country or can you show us big city . Vietnam n Cambodia are no exception. Few people and lesser buildings etc.🙏🤭
I’m a Singaporean Chinese, Netherlands-based. Just want to share, not all Chinese are after money. 🤦🏻♀️ We donate and volunteer for our favourite charities and support good friends like Todd & Neenee, besides being patreons. I feel for my hardworking, honest & humble Chinese friends who never asked me and others for money.
Good on you and don't be one of those evil. Thanks
Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese are different from Chinese Chinese that Ive met, they just seem a lot nicer
Malaysia , Singapore and Taiwan Chinese was hella different with China Chinese .
Laos..sticky rice and meat baerbcecue..thats all I prefer to live in Thailand
I hadn't noticed but now that you mentioned it. There really aren't many men at the markets. Seems you are a spectacle. A white man in the market. I get some of the same looks when I'm over there. Best wishes Bob.
Might have been ladies day and he didn't know
Is this true, ppl say there's a difference smell to the land or areas idk. Just member hearing this once, that always bother me for years if could is that a real thing?
Brother can you explain how people leave in that town and I see that women have lighter skin than women in Thailand for example. Also I see very looking women.
Another great video guy's, yes very sad to see china taking over parts of the world they should leave alone. What they have done in Cambodia and to the Cambodian people is a discrace. Keep showing traditional Lao well done mate.
From where is this bomb's? From US ,China was not involved! I was there in 1974 before , Vietnam was finished April 75.l crossed the Mekong from Thailand to Vietianne (Laos),after to Vietnam
Where are all the men, Todd?
Only In Laos you see a grandma riding a motorbike and it seems like there 5 girls per 1 dude 🤣 in sekong it's like 20 girls per 1 dude
So colorful... I love market road trips..Healthy Living is en mode

Hello - is it safe for westerners to vacation there? What about Covid - do they require a vaccine to go there? Do the women like to meet western men? Thanks!!!!
Can't wait till the boarders are open , all this money I have saved being locked up mate I'm going to do a 4 month splurge, Thailand, Laos , Cambodia, then Vietnam, I might even have a stop over in Bali on the way home ,
S.E.Asia's never gonna be the same again after that trip Gordo 🍺😝👍
Yes, keep the money home.
sok dii
Yes a lot of ladies, and some young pretty ones to. But to young for me, and noone there speaks english I think, so...

$20 buck challenge
Tell me why the tractors have such long handlebars and draw bar
Wouldn’t it be easier to turn with short bars like a bike ???
$20 into your bank with a answer old mate
Lol
Luv ya work 👍👍👍
Leverage. Makes it lighter/easier to turn. You'd need arms like Popeye to turn it if it had short bars. All it is, is an engine on wheels and your turning all of that..
Did it sound like I knew what I was talking about? 😝
Cheers Nuts 🍻
I’m surprised, they speak Thai too?
Loving the vids guys. I just can't help but wonder, does Neenee have a sister named songfoot? My girls name is V. Brother in laws are See and Kompon. I call him Tampon. Hardest working man in the lot. Drives a took took after farming at 5am.
I give it a few more years until I'm done with the rat race and we will be off to the farm house on the river we built ten years ago.
Amazing no one is wearing a mask.
You have to take into account.. it was February, and there was no community spread of covid at that time 🙏
Any business going well and big sells goods ?
geez,, no shortage of women,,in Laos
do you just hold the camera or attach it to your clothing?
