That baguette and french fries looked like LOVELY STUFF! YES!
Very very reasonable price.
Good to see you beaming and good smiles on the people around you
HAPPY CHAPPY
The lady at the restaurant has such a lovely smile.
Yabba dabba dooo nice one Eddy, John northeast England 😊
The money is called Kip, LAK is the currency code like GBP for the UK or USD for the USA
A lakh in India means a hundred thousand whatever (like rupees).
Thanks for clearing that up-I was abit bamboozled at his use of LAK.
When I visited lao-AUD$1 = 6000 kip.
I was just about to say that.
Good on you. Eddie. I love following your adventures. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, mate
The presentation of the food was fantastic. French influence. This video gets the El Terrifico seal of approval!
Wow, thank you!
Nice to see u there all good! 🙂
I was in south east Asia 20 years ago and after about 5 months I’d had enough of it. Got tired of the same same ground hog days. That’s what it becomes In the end. Good luck Eddie but you won’t last a year before your back in the UK🤷♂️😂😂
Bursting with enthusiasm as usual.😄 You present really well, Ed. Enjoy your travels.
Thanks, will do!
Magnificent! Get a shave my friend you look like a member of the cast from 'last of the summer wine', good stuff.

Eddy glad you are having a good time .
You took the challenge and left England unlike a lot of others who just talk and criticize in your videos .
Things appear to be working for you .
I have done everything you have done so far , Pattaya , Bangkok , Ayutthaya , Udon Thani , Nong Khai , Vientiane but not Vang Vieng
We must have been twins in another life lol .
Mate , can't those Lao people do a lot of interesting and delicious things with those French baguettes .
I'm in Vang Vieng now and it's beautiful. Cheers.
Very nice video! Enjoyed seeing this capital city - looks well worth a visit. Thank you for preparing this.
Thank you too!
You just crack me up Eddie 😂 brilliant video 😊
Thank you 😁
Experiencing S.E. Asia vicariously through Eddy until I can visit again 👍
Thanks mate
The lady's smiles made my day lovely location seems a warm friendly atmosphere sums up Asia the land of the smiles 😊😊😁 the people have very little to compare to the West but they see more Happy while us in the West are miserable
You never disappoint
These videos are great for reference, even months or years later.
I went to the same hotels you did in Nha Trang and Hoi An.
Cheap- clean , great location for walking the streets.
Cheers Ed

Cheers, mate
Great recommendation!

Eddie I recently stayed in the Boutique Hotel Vientiane it was 20 euros a night with a rooftop pool. I enjoyed the peaceful side to Vientiane. I then travelled to Vang Vieng by Bus I then flew to Phnom Phenh and back to Bangkok. I really enjoyed the Vientiane experience very reasonable place safe s
Hello Eddie enjoying you're travels and Laos i have not been so good to see that the people are so nice and smiley 😀 Yes eat what you enjoy. I love baguettes too and i am a baker and have made many. Thanks Eddie
Living the life mate !😊😊
Cheers 🍻 Ed! Great video and good editing mate! 😊
Good to hear from you, Clive.
Drive hard Eddy and good luck on your adventures
Thanks, mate.
Alrite Ed Laos on my bucket list .Looks a fantastic country and I’ve noticed the Laos ladies even the ones working in Pattaya and Thailand are far more beautiful than the Thais .Softer complexions .Have a great time love your content 👍💪🏴
Thanks, Paul.
Fun video, but a hat on the bed is bad luck. Not to fear, you are lucky Eddie.
Great video eddie enjoyed that
Thanks 👍
Looks like a lovely, calm town.Good food,pleasant people. Not expensive. Think ill arrive 😊
Superb video Eddy. Would love to visit that part of the world one day. Keep up the good work.
Cheers, mate
Great video eddy good standards of food and cleanliness 😊
Thank you 😋
the chips look great
Yummy 😋 living the dream with adventure and no cares 😎🙏
Realised that Eddy always posts reviews of his hotel after he has already left. Doesn't want any unwanted visitors.😂
Do you blame me?
I would do the same💪@@STEADY599
@@STEADY599Smart move! I'd do the same.
Watching you eat is hilarious! Well done!!
Thank you 😋
Chip butties!😂
Looks Good Ed hows the local Brew 👍🏴
You're a proper traveller Eddy, fair play to you 👏
Thanks, Mazza
Proper Chip's Eddie not Fries come on Lar !! 😉👍
that grub looks great Eddie -when i was in laos years ago -i became convinced Laotians would and did eat anything
Fine for the price Ed. Super, lovely smiley lady. ;-]. Whats NOT to like about a few large beerlaos and that lovely looking grub??? Good stuff. ;-]
Thank you kindly
Hi Eddie, do you book your hotels through an app ? If so which one do you use ?
Booking.com
Beer Lao is great improvement on thai standard beers
Eddie, great info on the restaurants and hotel yet again. I’m noting down all the ‘Seal of Approval’ spots to try for myself 😊Maybe you should get your own ‘Steady Eddie Seal of Approval’ window stickers designed to give to the proprietors. 😊😊
Now there's an idea!
Best way to check any hotel room in the world is the pillowcase test. Remove to see all the body fluid stains that are hidden from site. Remember pillows have many uses in bed besides resting your head on them. Every hotel I've slept in last 30 years pillows are never used I rest my head on my own clean towel. Seaman stain free.
I also rest my head on a clean towel
I think the currency is called Kip rather than Lak although the currency abbreviation is indeed LAK.
another thrilling video Ed
Are you off the wagon i see
Cheers, mate
That lao beer is superb ,, i dont care for the dark version,
Great your having fun eddie ,
Good on you 👍,
They do a uncooked spring roll i remember that was delicious,
Thanks 👍
Looks really nice and peaceful. Do you need to apply for a tourist visa or can I just arrive and enter the same as thailand?. Thanks for video Eddie
Just arrive. See previous video for details about border crossing.
Thanks 😊 🙏
Hi Eddie love you videos,I'm off to Phuket Thailand next week with my mate to the karon Mello space guest house
The manager is dave my mate who's lived I Thailand now for 27 years,so its like going home without the miserable English weather and lovely hot sunshine
Good luck mate with the videos,I love em you've set me up for next week for my flight out of this sad miserable country
All the best, mate
Eddy living large, enjoying life!
I went there over 20 years ago ,changed my Thai baht and had to buy a bag to carry the dong in .
It's the same as Thailand of course ,regardless of politics etc
the interesting thing is baguettes are prevalent in Lao ,same as Vietnam and Cambodia ,due to the Frogs of course
They always speak good English ,better than Scousers eh ? ,
calm down ,just joking !
👍👍👍
Lak ? what happened to the Kip ?
Lovely lady in restaurant roger or dodger? Its a Roger from me! 😍
The first one
@@STEADY599 🙌
I was surprised at the price of the hotel & 700 THB is really good value. Before the Pandemic I always found you paid more for less in Vientiane when compared to Udon & Nong Khai. I suppose all the inflation & currency devaluation has made prices volatile. Laos inflation linked to currency depreciation (real Inflation) for this year is predicted to be 10% & 5% next year so seems things are getting more stable & settling down.
Did your room have a safe? I didn't notice one.
I didn't, either
Bloody hell Eddie, you keep knocking down the tucker at that rate I feel we will be seeing much more of you literally??
I’m getting the impression that your TH-cam channel is your travel companion, wont you get fed up with staying in budget hotels !
I'm not getting fed up with travelling.
I agree. Eating in the same same restaurants and just walking around looks a bit boring
Edd you never use the swimming pool I think twice I see you use a pool these little towns have so much character and not so crazy like Pattaya . Good value Edd 20 US dollars about £16 per night that bit of scran looks lovely
Edd £15 per night mate long term would be cheaper that is a bargain mate I have a sneaky suspicion your gonna stay longer
@@johndeane5864 Edd is far from boring mate he’s having a great time
Eddy finally got a shave in the video 😊
Whatever happened to Kip....why has it changed to Lak?
As THB stands for Thai Baht LAK stands for Lao Kip.
@@isaanman5399 Cheers Eddie you learn something everyday🤣
Kip is pronounced: 'Geep' (low tone).
Maybe a better break down is to separate the the beer & food costs. Beer Lao is better than Thai Beer & half the price of the Thailand side of the Mekong & wins the comparison by a mile. I don’t think the food does though. You paid 180K for 2 beers & your chicken baguette with chips. I assume you paid about 28K per beer. So I reckon chicken baguette with chips comes out about 210 THB. Compare that to your chicken baguette & beef stew with baguette for 250 THB in the Irish Bar in NK.
don't sleep with anyone you will be arrested or force to pay alimony. that is not a joke.
So I've heard
That restaurant looks Great Eddy! Nice food and staff😊
It was!
I was in Veintiane a few months ago. 2 pints cost 40baht...yes 20b a pint.
Excellent
Hi Eddy,
Do you only eat once per day and fast for the rest of the day until the next day’s meal? Just asking because you ate a really big sandwich which was obviously a lot of calories and carbs and fat, also a pretty big plate of noodles and again 3 longneck beers. That’s probably over 2000 calories in one sitting for dinner, not counting what else you ate for lunch, breakfast you obviously skipped because you mentioned you wake up late. Just trying to make a point, this kind of eating and drinking habit is not healthy in the long term, especially when you’re getting older. Look after yourself, so you can enjoy your retirement for many more years!
Take care and safe travels!
Yes, I only eat once a day. Coffee in the morning, main meal, then nothing but low calorie drink of an evening.
It's nice to see that you have had a shave! Broken bottle for a razor and axel grease for shaving foam?😂
Hi Eddie thank you for lovely video God bless you
Thank you too
As good as the baguette looked $8.60 is definitely not cheap
That included the large beers as well.
Ah I missed that 555 cheers 😅
640ml is just over imperial pint Eddy for future drinking knowledge. $9 for 2 bevies, chippies, and darnie...quids in. Rm with brekkie cracking price. Any discounts for extended stay?
Thai lady say eddie torso so so steady.
Come to this coco cafe or whatever it is
I thought chips were the only veg Eddie eats
Looks better than most UK cities. You started saying kip and now lak has it changed
Eddie where do you book your hotels??
Booking.com
You're first book arrived in the mail Eddy, I'm looking forward to reading it on the plane to Thailand soon mate! Nice video, Laos is very inexpensive by the looks of this!
Hope you enjoy it! Cheers
As your trailblazing through South East Asia you should get some stream Eddie approves stickers so we steadites can follow I your footsteps.
That would be cool
Kip or lack?
No shacking the local ladies ... unless you're married to one! Dat de' law, mon.
Why have you got 2 single beds ?
I keep here about the great food but all I see you eating is baguette & fries 😁 how about the local cuisine Eddy 😎 also where’s the street vendors c’mon Steady Eddy 😎
I’ve got a golden rule I’ve found with chips ED, if they’re crinkle cut, they are ALWAYS SHITE!
Eddie...goes to exotic locations and shows us lovely local food and people...also Eddie.... *CHIP BUTTY TIME !*
Ha- take the scouser out of Liverpool but don't take his chip butties! Top man
Hi Eddie
Hello, Gary. Hope all's well.
I am just around the corner mate
£15 twin beds is a bargain plus food a bargain eddie cheerz
You forgot to show the balcony.
Eddy have you noticed many tattoo shops around , im going for a trip there soon and would like to get some ink while im there
Haven't noticed any
Eddie has seen most of the world but can't locate a razor in Laos!
Looks very attractive. You said the internet is good, what about the coffee in town?
I'm drinking Nescafe
@@STEADY599I like Lao coffee. The locals drink it in a glass mixed with condensed milk but I like it made as an americano. You should try it.
@@isaanman5399 Yes, I think I had that today with breakfast. Nice.
