  • Greetings from Laos! This is my first video from my Laos trip in October 2023. The last time I was in Laos was in 2019 (pre-Covid). While many things have remained the same here, some things have changed.
    In this video I review the first Starbucks in Laos, located at Parkson Shopping Mall in Laos’ capitol city of Laos. Mainly, I wanted to compare an Americano at this Starbucks to the ones in Seattle (my hometown which also happens to be the birthplace of Starbucks).
    Before I review Starbucks I explore Parkson Mall with my wife Amanda and family members who are local. One of the main features of this mall is Parkson Supermarker located in on the lower floor of mall.
    More adventures and videos to come. I didn’t come to Laos to visit Starbucks and a shopping mall, but this was something that I wanted to check out and share. ☕️✌️

    Sabaidee! I wish I would have gone to the mall when I was in Laos last year! I didn't think I was missing much. 5555 little did I know I was missing alot. A plus on starbucks being there is the employees probably have health/dental, pto and education management help...ect. Somethings you don't see much in Laos. This is very exciting! Thank you for sharing the video Ai!

    A pretty cool looking mall. I'm not sure if those are real Nike shoes. I like the Toyota vehicles. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers, Dennis! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

    Dennis I noticed that most of the stores in the mall have English wording on their store fronts. Am curious to know if the Laotian people are bi-lingual? Did I hear you right when you said the average pay was 85-100 a month? If so how do they buy groceries on that amount? I can't even imagine.

    • @LaoOcean
      @LaoOcean  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes average I come is about $100 US. This mall is catered toward the well to do and foreigners. It’s hard for the average person to or family to make it here.
