Looks like a good wet season flood might take care of that shop anyway Todd.
That's my hometown and birth place.
Great video.
Change happens, apparently.
I like seeing the Hmong people wearing traditional clothes.
Laos is very beautiful.
I have been wondering about that little girl. Lovely child. Now I need to wait until the next vlog. 😊
Sadly Change involves greed , power & endless debt - I for one long for the raw , slow life - Thanks Todd 👍👋🙏
Well said!
HI TODD;NENE I LIKE THE OLD TIMES XAYSOMBOUN THANKS YOU FOR UPDATE THIS CITY.FROM USA
So beautiful ❤️👍🌺 🙏😇
It was a lot prettier back in '21 Todd
Todd very concerned about lpcal environment !
Can't wait for part 2!!
I missed Laos... Love from Minnesota, Todd.
Mina... what can I say ❣ Kenno...West Aust
those trucks remind me of the The Beverly Hillbillies LOL
See how they're built and the cost in the next vid 😉
😎👍
Beautiful country, thank you for sharing the scenery with us city dwellers, Todd. Mina is a little sweetheart, wishing her, and you both, the very best in this world!
Love the drone shot look beautiful
The amenities are a Barry Crocker Todd. Spot on assessment mate, should be roadside on the way in with a souvenir shop.
Damn Todd what a massive dam
The videography is fantastic as always
I was surprised they put a shopping area next to the rapids
Nice trone footage
Hi Guys Interesting having a comparison in one episode of change in one are and no change, where you camped overnight. I don't like change much which is why I live where I do. The thing about development is it makes the area completely unsustainable, as it relies on money or material being bought in from some where else. The world is full of places that are just concrete jungles that exists to enable un necessary consumption. In the villages you see many happy faces, in the concrete jungles you don't see any. Case closed.
The drone shots are incredible. The landscape is spectacular .Change is always tough. Good Change is good. Bad Change is bad. We agree with you Todd. Always doing the good work.
Todd, have you ever considered being a Tour Guide leading groups of people to various Lao destinations. Perhaps, with your Patreon Members first. Thank you for always keeping us
in the know. Sending you much love and affection from Richmond, Va. Jim and Harriet🙏🙏
Have Nini show the governor the before and after videos
🤗🙏🏼!
Thank you for the beautiful video, enjoyed it.
Take care.
It's the views and pristine nature that should be the money maker, but people have to eat, so It's a rock and a hard place.
Beautuful place. I had not seen that place at all other than just town of Meuangcha now called Saisoumboun during my time in Long Cheng since 1963-1975. Thank you for sharing.
Totally agree with you Todd. Such a shame to spoil that spot in that way. The shop is fine, just wrong spot.
The scenery is Awesome
The maps are truly appreciated 👍
It’s such a beautiful place but I’m sad to see it turned into another developed site.😢
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot....... it's a damn shame, the natural beauty of the place was stripped right away. Limited planning and zoning does have a down side.
I bet you had a restful nights sleep in that homestay with the rosters going off at 5 or 6 am.
Great vid as always.
Haha ya not wrong about the bloody roosters! 😝
Come on Todd, you cannot have it both ways. Once you start regulating it never stops like in Australia. Soon you will have to wear a helmet on a donkey and there would be no more three kids on a motor bike. This is why we live in SE Asia.
How true is this.
Only 3 kids on a motorbike.. you must live in an affluent area DS 😝 Nah I hear ya mate, and that's why we're here.. To have our freedoms we no longer have elsewhere.
"...to have our freedom we no longer have anywhere.." yours sayings , Todd, explained perfectly why we are a lot of people -south east Asia real lovers" follow you and appreciate your non conformist "bloody ramblings" dans ce formidable Laos.
All the best to you.
A Breton waiting for coming back soon there.
@ayangdidi5524 I hope that is soon for ya mate 👍
Howdy Todd,,another great one! The changes around those caves is,,,devastatingly remarkable,,unbelievable how much they accomplished in 2 years. You are 100 percent correct,,in a lovely area like that,there most definitely needs to be restrictions on what is built ,where. Construction needs to blend,,like some of the river resorts. Just common sense,,not immoral or ignorant,,as the one ignoramus suggested. Lol idiot! Once again struck by how sweet the Hmong people are. Id much rather stay in a place like that,,than stay in a cell. Growing up as i did,,there are certain barn smells that are very pleasant,,in winter ,a cow ready to be milked has a sweet grainy smell,,I've always loved the smell of horses and mules. Horse shit has a pleasant smell,,if you can use the term pleasant referring to ANY shit at all. My Grandpa's barn smelled of grass hay and sweet molasses oats. That barn collapsed from a super heavy,,highly unusual snow when i was 9 years old. Was bulldozed into a pile and burned when i was 11. I will remember those smells until i die. Once in awhile you can wiff a similar smell in an old fashioned feed store,,but they are few and far between. Omg ,,Nina,,you and Neenee better tell her about her crazy American Uncle! Lol my youngest blood niece is officially grown. She got engaged last Friday night. I dig being an Uncle,,but at engagement,,you cease to be needed. Lol so,,i need some new nieces to spoil. Thank for the update on things. Ttyl,,,Marlon
Hi Todd, excellent as always mate.I still haven't got there yet, very next destination. Keep up the great work bud, your shows always have a heartwarming and real human experience to them, 🤗😉.
Thanks John, will do 👍
28:46 Do it !
👁❤🐑 ty..xoxo 🥰👍🖐🤟✌🤪
👍👍👍🙏
Todd, you said it was gonna be a tourist destination and it has. Us westerners has the hindsight of what beautiful places can turn into thru centuries of development. Laos is still trying to put food on the table. You know what I mean.
Its all about the Dollar got no idea.
Housing accommodation is not expensive if you visit areas not frequented by tourists in third world countries.
What a magical place Todd. It is a shame things have to change and not always for the better. That shop though? It seems if you grease the right palms with enough money, you can do what you like there.
Beautiful scenery...what area is this cave at?
Laos is cheap. Even staying in nice hotels is much cheaper then say Thailand is. Can't wait to visit again at Xmas time!
Bad spot as when it starts flooding that when disaster happens and yes the roof should be or colorbond
To be blunt- I'm not impressed by those changes. The attraction of Laos is, for me, that it is original, it is genuine, it is unspoiled by Western money, trends, and pressures.
Those changes are the product of someone who only sees money.
Just like that Chinese woman who scammed you when you were having car problems.
Westerners are Rich, they have money they do not need. Let's take it from them.
That's what I saw. That's how it made me feel. Now I'll sit back and wait for all the flames.
Are you sure The Clampets f the Beverley Hillbillys don't live there
No, not the Clampets.. I know this because we found where the Clampets live in the next video 😉👍
if you go this area you need to report to them and paid fee unless you will get trouble and in prison
Not at all. This area is open now
was there in mid feb, sadly we just stop and went on to looj ceeb these entrepreneurs are ruining the beauty of lao... from north to south; i am loving it though, the people gets no direction from the goervmenr of what to, still the trash is everywhere.
You could always get together with people who agree with you and offer to buy the land and do as you wish with it. Asking gov to keep it the way you want is dangerous and immoral.
People in United States Begged money from me,I give what ever I can,You better behave in Laos.
Progress sucks sometimes
You want these people living like caveman?
Wow one of you best. I liked the comment about you slip and fall on your ass that's on you. Watch your step. My old man had that one liner. Be alert, don't get hurt.
26:34 F#*k Vientiane... I want one in Geelong mate.
😂 yep in Banno 👍
What a hoot ay!
Changes are not always for the best, progress can easily be regression. Just to let you know that I won't be dealing with TH-cam again, more to do with the rubbish they send our way with impunity and nothing to do with your channel content.
As always,change is hardly ever any good,especially when a government/agency is involved.
Mate, is it hard to obtain a Lao drivers license? All I have is American documentation and it is screwing me bad right now.
I'm using an international permit, haven't got around to obtaining a Lao licensee yet. Not sure of your visa status here, but I have heard with a spouse visa you can get your existing license transferred to a Lao driving licence for a small fee. Even without a spouse visa, others have sat a test for it, while others have just bought it 😉😉
Todd, the beautiful green hill on the other side of the running river in bet NeeNee would love a house there and enjoy the sound of the running river. It is absolutely picturesque . Where does the toilet feces and urine go, into the river? or do they have septic cleanup. Peace.
Most have septic tanks. However it is important to remember that human by product is not a waste pollutant to nature . Urine for example is 50% nitrogen (dry weight), which people buy as fertilizer.
Great place for a bike and camp tour.
I gree totally with what you are saying. They won't put a shed up like that in front off the 3 sisters.
A++
