- 🇱🇦 I've met some interesting characters on my travels but not many like Mr. Suck. But before we get to him and his questionable Google translation skills myself and @BackpackerBen had to cross into a mysterious country called Laos. We entered a world not seen by many and in some ways untouched by modern life. Join us on an adventure where my other mate @TimKyoutube will also be with us on our way south to Saigon.
Please check out both ben's and Tim's channels for another side to the trip.

I love when Bald walks around shaking everyone's hands like he's running for office.
Haha yes
Hahaha I am cracking up 🤣 true that though 🤣
He's the Mayor
Dayum player 🗣️
He's the Vietnam People's Democratic Republic Truc band supervisor
Im Thai and I understand Esan Thai dialect which is really similar to Laos. Mr. Suk (สัก is a normal name in Thai and Laos) was saying "กินเข้าแล้วเจ้าสิไปไส" (Gin khao laew chao si pai sai) = "Where would you go after you done eating" but food=เข้า=Khao and knee=เข่า=Khao and the translator got it wrong. The second time he said "ข่อยถ่าเจ้ากินเข้าก่อน" (khoy tar chao gin khao gorn) = " I'll wait for you to eat ". He was being nice but the translator really sucks at Laos language
thanks, informative
pin, very good, a good translator in comments is gold
Ye bro but same would happen for thai language or not? As far as i know as foreigner northern thai almost everyone speak laos language? Anyway, thanks for translation.
Lol google translate got it perfectly wrong 😂
Language barrier can make for hilarious misunderstandings
thank you i was looking for this
"Mr Suck wants me to kneel down" 😂 😂 😂 That was the hardest I've laughed in a day or two
I couldnt stop laughing when the translator said "I want you to eat it"
I feel bad for Mr. Sack. He was trying to be friendly and was going to wait until Bald was done eating, but internet translators aren’t really the best. Bald definitely missed out on having drinks with Mr. Sack, and making a new friend.
Arguably, mr sack is a better name than mr suck 😂
New adventures of Bald Sack 🤣
Shame, but that does happen with unreliable translations.
Even the best one around, DeepL, still messes up every so often.
Bald just used him for content, funny but disrespectful which has gotten him in trouble lots of times before
legit
Mr. Suck is an absolute legend
Kneel down for Mr suck !
Those finger nails he had were amazing!
Thought it was sack
dying to know what he was actually saying lmao
@@icanwatchthevideos I think he was asking for the name of his TH-cam channel on the last one
As a Lao-American… I am greatly amused at that interaction. Mr Suck was trying to ask you where you were heading after you had your beer, because he was trying to take you to your next destination. Funniest miscommunication ever 😂
17:28. I meet that grandma a few days ago with my 5 year old child. She was the most generous person I've ever meet. She treated my son with extreme kindness by giving him a lot of sweets, bread, etc. I couldn't believe it. I was so surprise to see her in this video. Live a long wonderful life.
Cảm ơn bạn đã đến thăm đất nước của chúng tôi. Hi vọng tương lai bạn có thể quay trở lại du lịch tại Việt Nam. Mọi người luôn chào đón và giúp đỡ bạn trong chuyến du lịch
I rented a motorbike and had a trip across Vietnam years ago. I accidentally broke the gate of a wedding once when they were getting ready. However, they did not blame me or ask me to compensate, but all gathered to ask if I was injured. then they invited me to stay for their wedding party. It was a wonderful memory I will never forget.
Legends
🤣🤣🤣
I did the same thing! Best time of my life. Lost 5 friends in Asia on motorbikes though.
@@rinodb83 What people have never seen or experienced, they will consider it to be a legend. I recommend you come to VN and experience, then you will see how specific that legend is. In any country there are bad people and good people, you haven't met good people but that doesn't mean there aren't. If you think this commemorative story of mine is a legend, there are indeed many more thrilling legends in Vietnam. lol
@@foodtasting ehm, I meant the people were legendary not in the sense that it didn't happen but that they were amazing in doing what they did
Part 2 of the Vietnam trip. For another view of this journey through Vietnam with footage I did not capture please visit the TH-cam channels: Tim K and Backpacker Ben. Great riding with you guys.
As long i can see you on these Videos i will watch them and maybe do some private stuff
Didn’t know you were a s** tourist 😔
Absolutely love your videos mate they're helping me a lot through this time.
I will kneel down like Mr Suk
Ah still on duty.
I don't know why but bald just sitting down at a random families lunch and though they didn't understand english welcomed him and refused any money really struck a cord with me. The country may not be the most glorious but the people seem so great.
Người VN là vậy bạn ạ..Bạn k ngồi ăn chúng tôi sẽ thấy buồn . ❤❤❤ fr Việt Nam
Seems to be the theme around the world honestly.. thank you for translating.
He does that everywhere tbh
I’ve been watching this man for a while and it shows that the media lies so much about the rest of the world
Great Video ! Vietnamese people are reall cool. in fact, everywhere you can meet lots of interesting people.
20:20 That's why I watch him
How tf do u have 10 mil subscribers
I love how Bald walks round talking utter bollocks with such confidence 😄
@Ivan Petrov (kgb)ald and bankrupt
@@ivanpetrov2853 wow mental health is very bad in russia i see...
@@ChristopherGray00 Always been
He says he's introverted. Yeah. I call bollocks on that
Bald has more than a few of his facts wrong too. Is Bald biased or something? Because each time he states an untrue fact, it's always in favor of the Left-leaning narrative.
I live in Saigon - you 100% walked into their house and asked for a beer - luckily Vietnamese are often really friendly so it all went well
Can you find the place? Maybe take them the video and explain who Bald is and what he thought was going on?
lol
Omg! Hahahahaa
😂
@36:00
This guy makes me want to pack a bag and just travel. This is the feeling of freedom most first world people yearn for. Yeah places like the UK have health care, education etc but most of us be sheep stuck in captive routines. We have the ideology we are free but our whole lives revolve around chasing finances & balancing responsibilities.
Wow you are naive.
As a Vietnamese here we learned freedom only worth if there are happiness, which even we poor or struggle in our life, we still keep living and happy about who we are
@@tmq0311....most westerns are not happy at all. So good job to you guys for staying positive!
Get out there! Nothing will make you feel alive and better than experiencing the world.
Best part about it? Once you see the world? You then really start to really appreciate all the mundane things of home.
Perfectly said.
Omg it was so hilarious watching him sit down at some random person’s home and they gave him beer and curry 😂 Must be family style 😂 They were so friendly and just cracked open a beer for him. He walks away not knowing what the hell just happened bc he can’t speak Vietnamese and they didn’t speak English. I love these vids! Some moments are so memorable that I talk about them to this day like I was there😅
I would like to switch places with him!
Perhaps someday I will visit Vietnam 😀
That was a mini restaurant. Maybe part of the home.
Thousands like that world wide. 🌎 😅
It's a Vietnamese custom to always invite everyone around you to eat if you're having a meal. Usually people are expected to decline, but Bald didn't know, and they didn't seem to mind
Pretty fun that he just walked up and got a free beer. I think they did mind though, if they wanted him to stay longer, they'd cheers with him every minute or so.
@@NguyenMiinnyoh is that how the customs and traditions are ?
Vietnamese love to drink with everyone and will even go as far as to put food in your bowl without even asking. Their customs of welcoming guests, but the old man seemed to just not understand baldy and it can become quite frustrating for older people. I learned that if they don't cheers with you, they probably just want to talk about their life and not have to be interrupted by someone younger than them speaking a language they don't understand.
Same in Thailand. I just came back from 3 months in Thailand. The food was amazing!
What was that truck ban srm band 30:20
This little vietnam series was peak Bald. It's actually quite refreshing to see him travel to a totally new places
That's a very big statement. I'll admit it's good but 'peak bald'.... Do you remember the hunt for the Buran with Alinchik and all other videos from the former Soviet states.
I was also in Vietnam at the same time, my first trip. mainly on the back of a motor bike and filming in the same style as Ben. Please pop over to see what I have so far uploaded. I hope you learn also from my recent Vietnam trip.
wtf? It was by far the worst and least interesting of his travels
"Peak Bald" is Trans-Siberian Railroad for me personally, but this is very good too and I'm happy to have it.
@@rip2889 That's taking it way to far. It was a great series of travel videos.
To this day my trip to Vietnam remains the most impactful of any travel I've made. Was my first time traveling solo, my longest stay abroad, and by far the most different culture I've had the pleasure to experience. All in all, it totally changed the way I travel now and, dare I say, the way I view the world.
I love you Vietnam, and I'll definitely come back ❤
Thank you. Well come
what about all the commies?
@@gordonlekfors2708 bro💀💀
@@gordonlekfors2708 stop being racist bro :D we dont do that in Vietnam.
@@gordonlekfors2708 The US created Communism in Vietnam because in the US invasion they k*ll everyone in sight, burnn their homes , so people unite under Communism to take back the country and fight for their freedom, independence and individuals equal rights, the right to live , to be free and to be happy. That's Communism then in Vietnam.
Guy doesn't even need the clickbait title! One of the best channels on the tube, hand down! Started watching when he had about 50K subs, and every single upload is an absolute adventure!
36:50 Bald just joining that family for lunch is such a good moment
Honestly the best part!!
I just loved it when they refused the money. There are good people like that everywhere.
Was truly brilliant!
They just made some room and handed him a beer without hesitation! Great stuff!
@Jethalal except China
Mr Suck asking you to kneel down had me dying 😂😂😂😂
Same haven't ever laughed as hard in a B&B video ever. It was too perfect. Even though it was an obvious lost in translation moment, still so funny.
Been a fan of you Mr. Bald for many years! I love your humor and sense of adventure! Thank you for continuing your travels and taking us along with you.
For what you say at 20:17 I have no words that can express my emotions, truly heart breaking. I absolutely adore your travels, and it makes me realise that there is so much more to life than my insignificant existence. The humanity that you experience from country to country is enlightening.
"I'm not kneeling down in front of Mr. Suck" 😂😂
I'm in effin tears 😂😂😂😂
I'm embarrassed to learn I've been pronouncing the soup wrong, turns out it's pronounced FURR
I've crossed into Laos without a visa on a local boat and had an interesting conversation with the border police, stunned that I was just being a tourist with wallet, passport and camera in my pocket they discussed the situation and decided that because I could not produce a photograph for the visa on arrival I could just pay a fine and then be stamped into the country for the day, I stayed about an hour or two - the fine was less than $2.

Your adventures are an inspiration for us and our channel! Thank you, Mr. Bald!
You are a real bro. Good times and thanks for everything. 🤙
I love how you are not only showing us new countries, city's and places. But also telling us about the history of all the places you visit. The combination of the video with the background information you provide us is pure gold! I really enjoy watching these video's mr Bald :)
This. I concur! I'd love to hear more, and see more historical places. Also I'd like to see more Soviet sinks!
Me 2 🤙🏻
I bloody love this channel. Funny but insightful. Thankyou
Amazing! I LOVE your adventures! Thanks for sharing them!
As a Thai, who understands Lao (our languages are scary similar), the interaction with Mr.Suck (Sak) was top tier lost in translation comedy.
Edit: sorry guys here’s what Suck was saying and tried to use the app to translate.
“Kneel down and where do you go” = where are you going after you’re done eating.
“I want you to eat it/white lips/server (not clear)” = I’ll wait for you to finish eating.
He was prolly waiting to take Bald to his secret sucky lair.
Edit 2: Suck is actually a pretty common name around these parts. 1) It’s the common name for a type of VERY HARD wood tree (kinda fitting). 2) It also means tattoo.
ohow are you u going to not tell us what he said man plz
What did he say though
What did Mr. Suck want? You can’t just say you speak Laotian and not say what he said
What did he say lol
Haha I feel bad for Mr Sak, he was just asking to eat rice 😂
My god the Tuk Tuk driver was absolutely gold. What a guy! Thank you bald for taking us all to this amazing places
The humor and friendly manner should be everywhere. Good job Benjamin 👏🏻👏🏻
The combination between showing Vietnam in a funny way and giving a history lesson is just amazing! Thank you my man!
Ben, the master of befriending people without speaking a word of their language. What a talent!
It is impressive how far confidence and a smile can take you
Love the content man! Always love watching your videos, decided to finally subscribe today!
this guy at 14:50 was such a humble dude hope you tipped this guy
This dude by far great content and has seen more than anyone will see in they're lifetime.
Get out there and you can experience the same!
@@smoll.miniatures wish i could :(
I've been lucky actually. Been in Asia, Europe. Want to go to Switzerland and more places in Europe. Most can't leave the state they are in due to work and same ol same routines.
Bald and geowizard are carrying youtube
Beats anything I’ve ever seen on the Travel Channel
I love the content from countries where he speaks the language, but honestly this is hilarious, so much confusion. I absolutely love it. Would love to see more SE Asia content, Cambodia, Burma etc.
Burma is kinda having a civil war atm…
Would be interesting
@@TacticalGAMINGzz yeah, I think it's still open to tourists in some parts. But imagine bald in the empty city Naypyitaw, would be epic. There's a famous like 8 file freeway with no cars on it. Also, my fault, it's called Myanmar nowadays.
He has an old video of when he went to Burma
I've been following your adventures for many years. Please never stop. 🙏
Nice video Ben. One of your best. Always wanted to see Saigon.
Your show gives an invaluable lesson nowadays which is giving people a different perspective on life. People have become so entrenched in ideology and group think that stepping out and exploring the world really puts things into perspective. If there was more travel and acceptance and attempts at understanding of other cultures and their lifestyles we’d be far better off as a whole. So thank you Senior Baldissimo. 👏🏼👏🏼 May you stay safe in your travels. 🙏🏼
Hes only gone there to sleep with women
So many persons watch the news and stay home and complain how the world is a terrible place and there is global warming, etc. It is true, there are so many issues however the world is still an awesome places and some things are better than 50 years ago, I mean imagine trying to do a motorcycle tour across vietnam in the 70ies!
lul good that you dont know who he really is 😁
do you know what came to light?
He is a s e x t o u r i s t
The art of repairing your gear on the road and having someone else pay for it is an invaluable skill to learn. Especially if you're bankrupt.
One of the best youtubers! Thank you Mr Bald!
Your videos are very eye opening and humorous. Making me want to travel to places I never thought I would.
Love how Bald maintains his humor and positive spirit. Nice videos.
By the way, ‘TRỰC BAN’ means ‘on duty’.
That’s cool. Thanks!
It like the security
@@James_Original Seems more like a militia
Been looking for ages for this 😂
Lol-he was impersonating her
Bald is a legend , so glad he’s still doing TH-cam after covering the Soviet Union (would love to see Bald reunite with Kolya though )
They won't let him in if he's banned from Russia
And Babushka as well
I didn't get the impression Kolya had much more time on this world. I hope he's doing better.
Shit, he’d be stupid not to, at least if he’s making enough money, though Idk about all that. But we all watch him cause he’s a fun guy and has lots of fun interactions with people
@@GenaF is Kolya not deserving to be found, even if he's dead? What a terrible fate, to be so forgotten that you don't even receive a burial or goodbye.
LOVE YOUR WORK inspire on.. MR BOLD & @BackpackerBen
For anyone who's wondering, the Laotian town he's in is called Dansavan and the check point is called the "Lao Bao Border Check Point", or at least that's what Google Maps calls it.
That train you were on was actually pretty flash by Vietnam standards. Took the overnight train from Hanoi to Sapa at it was straight out of the 1950s, no air con either and it was 40c most days. However we met a guy on the train who invited us to his wedding and we were the only westerners there out of about 500 people. Their generosity and hospitality to strangers is just amazing. My favourite place to travel without a doubt - Laos is worth delving into more.
yes happened to me there also at a wedding.Fantastic hiospitality
i took the sleeper bus, it doesn't get much better there. I didn't fit into the sleeping compartment, and you don't get to sleep as the driver is honking 24/7 and you are being rocked around like a ball in a pinball machine.
@@wijn1008 I should have known your first sentence was sarcastic, but I totally fell for it... of course the driver would be driving like an absolute madman and honking all night... how could I have expected anything else lol.
The craziest bus drivers I've personally experienced are Korean ones, and those are more than mad enough for me. Full throttle and full brakes non-stop, constantly switching lanes to try and overtake a single vehicle before the next light. But they do follow the road rules there, it's just that they're unnecessarily impatient. Buses in my country drive patiently to increase comfort for the occupants lol
I have previously lived in Laos for many years, awesome place it really is worth going around for a few days
@@wijn1008 Only had good experiences with sleeper buses, while the compartment was quite small it was comfortable, there was something relaxing about the atmosphere at night once everyone was sleeping.
I don’t usually make comments on videos but your narrations are hilarious. Also love the historical background of the places you visit. Thank you for enduring the brutal realities of traveling to give us less adventurous folk a glimpse at other nations.
The "brutal realities" are really not that bad. Most people travel by bus (driving at top speed at oncoming traffic to pass slightly slower vehicles on a two lane road ... but you get used to that). Most of their misery was in traveling by bike in a rather unpleasant season. And the experience of everything being so new and interesting makes enduring a little hardship not so difficult. You feel accomplished just making it to your hotel for the night, getting in a good meal and cracking a beer to top it all off. Never tasted better.
So informative and SO entertaining, thank you.
Your channel is the best worldwide please keep up the great work.
Wonderful to see, the kindness and hospitality of the Vietnamese people. How Stranger Mr. Bald was welcomed at the dining table by those Vietnamese gentlemen, without asking getting beer and food. And they absolutely did not want money for this. What a sincere hospitality, beautiful and how Mr. Bald portrays this.😢 So much respect for those friendly Vietnamese people
Vietnamese people is famous for their hospitality. They might eat poor meals but if you visit they will treat you the most expensive foods they can afford.
Chiếc mũ cối có giá 35.000 vnđ, Anh thợ may khâu 1 mũi chỉ và nhận đến 200.000vnđ 😂. Anh ấy không nên lấy tiền công khi khâu 1 chút như vậy mới đúng. Đó là lòng tham lam.
Cái cờ cũng là cờ đạo phật chứ không phải cờ giới tính thứ 3 😂
Vietnam really needs to promote love making tourism! That’s always a good business and the women love the money!! Their ladies are good looking and would do well!
@@lewisc9959 the government is a hypocrite. They enjoy going to those services but they don’t want to legalize it due to “ethics” as they said
Hi bald, the "trans" flag is actually the Buddhist flag that is commonly hung around temples throughout the country, the "tail" is actually just sweet pork sausage (if the picture is clear enough), and lastly google translation was not your friend when it came to trying to communicate with Mr Sak (Suck) lmao.
"Pubs" would only really exist in the bigger city like the capital Vientiane, I hope you would visit deeper in my motherland. If you were to travel deeper to Laos, I recommend Luang Prabang the northern city which was the old capital, full of old temples and architect. the Southern Province of Pakse, famous for the coffee plantation, a lot of water fall and nice scenery.
I would recommend you use Googel translation from english to Thai as our lao language is almost identical to Thai, where most Laotian would understand Thai, and the Thai translation is a lot more developed than the Lao language
What is the meaning of the words on his red arm band?
@@zaxarispetixos8728 thats vietnamese, im not vietnamese so i wouldnt know

Hands down one of the best channels on youtube 👏
DONT HAVE INSTAGRAM, but your stories there are Hilarious! Bahahahahaha. Love you man, sending a barrel of samogon your way. 😂😂😂
36:00 wow, the fact they instantly made room for you to sit and have lunch with them is so crazy to me.
No surprise at all. The South Vietnamese hospitality are very generous , They share they meal and drinks with stranger.
No surprise to me. In Thailand one always gets invited to share lunch when walking through the villages. No food banks in Thailand because there is plenty of food.
Whiteman syndrome still a thang in asia
Lol
This is common is Southeast Asia. It would be rude to not invite someone to join you.

Oh man this was one of the funniest episodes ever... Thank you Bold!
Love your videos, keep it up brother 💪🏽
Mr Suck was such a great addition to this adventure!
Vietnam is no doubt the most welcoming and polite country I've seen you in, Ben! Love that this country and culture is allowed to flourish now. Thank you for this window into regular vietnamese life. Awesome people.

Educative and exciting broh! Pl keep going.
I’m so in love with your personality bald 😂 you are a fantastic person!
20:55 As a former U.S. Marine that served long after the Vietnam War I couldn’t agree more. When I traveled to the Mekong Delta we visited a the home of a former Viet Cong fighter who said it best when I expressed my shock at how accommodating and friendly Vietnamese people are to Western tourists “We won the war and got the outcome we had all dreamed of” and that made me realize exactly why we in the U.S. ONLY think of the war when we hear Vietnam while Vietnamese people have all but forgotten it.
@Chiến Thắng Don't forget that gigantic nuclear bat that keeps China from being too much of an asshole. You're welcome!
@Chiến Thắng Your history should never be forgotten. Is should be passed on to future generations.
Chiến thắng, you are full of sh…t. Did the South Vietnamese ever forgive the north Vietnamese for invading their country? American was there to help an allied who was invaded by the north Vietnam, China and Russia. The communist history book is full of crap and you all have been brainwashed by the communist party.
@Chiến Thắng In Canada, there is a famous phrase "Lest we forget". The suffering and sacrifices of the past must never be forgotten if we hope to prohibit them in the future.
I hate people who profile a whole country based on one interaction.
What a legend, you said before you weren’t sure if you’d be able to make good videos without speaking the language, but your charisma paired with your banter, and penchant for letting an interaction run on no matter how much awkwardness is there.. is legendary as always. I dare say youre getting even better mate.

Absolutely loved these 2 episodes. Brilliant as always. The Battle of Hue in early 68 was fierce and lasted over a month. The city was basically destroyed with around 1,700 killed from both sides but the VC and the PAVN executed in or around 2,000 and about 5,000 civilians died overall. It was an important battle in the war and one of the fiercest
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent video presentation. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing.
Didn't think it was possible, but your videos are getting even better. Your mix of humor and history are on point.
History lesson ..budha was born 2500 years ago ,,not a few hundred ,,Thailands date works from when budha was alive ,,but they also use the Christian date..😊And I agree the videos are getting better.

So it is the exact opposite of the Belt and Road Initiative project? Nice.
@@Morristown337 Yea, the Japanese funded it, its bound to work well.
@@nanban1896 😂😂
Yeah kind of a bad mistake. Vietnam really hates China and most foreign investment is fortunately coming from Japan and Korea, as well as some from France, Germany, and the US.
@@nanban1896 Whats in it for Japanese to build that?
Flippin heck. It's B & B! Nice one!
Thanks for a real nice trip..Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Seriously a wonderful series. Stuff like this allows people to relate to someone halfway across the world. Keep posting Mr Bald, your humor and friendliness is infectious.
@@icebear3828 give it up dude, we're watching travel content, his private life is none of our business
@@icebear3828 Has he murdered anyone? If not, I frankly do not care.
@Ice Bear Nothing was "proven". He was acquitted due to lack of evidence. He's innocent and he is trying to move on with his life.
@@SongBillong What the heck did he do?
Agreed about his humour and friendliness. He's my favourite TH-cam travel vlogger.
Ben gives "are we there yet" vibes this whole trip
He looks like the kind that complains a lot about everything
@@muscuut pretty much
Total drip. His face offends me
17:50 This is just a hat, Just a hat?! .............. People died for that hat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
