Hi folks, NatNomad here. An ex-Buddhist monk from Laos with a big dream of seeing the world. Throughout my time for over 10 years being a monk I kept asking myself this one question "What life is like out there beyond the monastery?" And because of this question alone made me take a big step in 2014 when I finally say goodbye to my wonderful monastic life.
And now I'm doing what I've always wanted to do. Though I am not quite sure if I can say that I'm living my dream but you know what I'm loving my new adventure.
Please make sure to stick with me so we can explore new exotic places together.
Let the adventures begin!
Thanks so much for your support.
Following your journey brings back so many sweet memories of my time spent in Laos last year.
Thank you for keeping up with my adventure 😊🙏
Thanks Nat, Pakse has some interesting architecture and a big market. Very interesting
The river, temples, colonial buildings and mountains surrounding it makes it a very charming place
my hometown, I was there last year. going back to Laos 🇱🇦 again next year.
You're lucky to have such a nice city as your hometown. I always enjoyed Pakse, except on my first visit😆
hi Nat, wonderful video! I visited Laos in 2001, it was such a nice experience, would love to visit again. Also Savannakhet and Pakse. Greetings from Holland!
Hi there, thanks for the greeting. 2001 wow! Must be so different back then. I came to Luang Prabang in 2005 and compared to now it's very different.
I come you will come visit Laos again soon😊
@@natnomad thank you Nat :) back then I also visited luang prabang: it ended up being one of my favorite places I ever visited in South East Asia. I don't dare to imagine how it has changed, especially the main street with all the cute wooden Lao and colonial houses.
Did you know in my language the name of the Lao currency, 'kip', means chicken! So I always had to chuckle when spending and counting my money D
my man have fun and safe travels bro … life too short thanks for sharing awesome clip bro !
Thank you, I am loving this adventure bit
I miss Pakse city, last time I was there 1980 love the city
Wow, that was a long time ago. I hope you'll come visit someday. Very nice city and so friendly people 😊
Another great video! We haven't been to Pakse in several years. It was 44 degrees! So hot! Take care and stay safe from the intense heat. All the best to you!
Thank you. Yes, the heat was unbearable. The early evening walk along the Mekong river was nice with the breeze. What a lovely. I'm so glad to see it again after the Covid.
I’ve been eyeing the south of Laos for a while now. Pakse is so raw and laidback on your video, bro.
Sure looks like a charming city in the south 😊
Pakse is by far my third favorite is in Laos. I didn't like it when I first came. Then, after spending more and more time, I fell in love with it. Chill and laid back vibe
That pineapple looked juicy and delicious 😋 It's one of my favorite fruits. I hope the weather is better for your trip to the waterfall. Stay safe 🙏 😊
Pineapple and mango are always up in the front hehe. The weather has been cooling down a bit after the rain.
so many delicious 😋 food 🍱. Pho 🍜 are my favorite everyday.
I've just had the fish noodle soup this morning near Watt Luang Temple. So good!
Thank you for sharing my home town ຄິດຮອດເດ ! Paksé ❤️🙏😇🤩
Ah so you're friend this beautiful town. I hope you'll come visit Pakse soon. The old town is very nice, and people are so friendly here😊
ຂອບໃຈ !!! ຈະມາແທ້ soon !!!🙏😇❤️
Have fun and travel safely 😊
Thank you, loving it so far😊
🙏 ສະບາຍດີ! Well, I recently had my motorcycle trip from Cambodia-Lao. It is a wonderful experience. I had visited Pakse, Paksong, Salavan, Sovannakhet, Vientiane, Vang vieng, & Luang Prabang. I missed out one place from my list, Phonsovan; hopefully going back one day.
Wow, what a dream. I've always wanted to do that, my last attempt failed when I reached Muang La haha. I'll try again when the weather gets cooler. You're so brave.
@@natnomad Yeah, the hot weather was terrible; and also it was bad timing because it was burning season as you mentioned in your videos. Anyway, I thought that I just took the opportunity of Sangkran holiday to see your country, Lao. You’ve got great contents. You can do it! 👏
Now that Gordon Ramsay has crowned Laos the nr 1 culinary destination you should do a pure Food tour. Every local specialty covered :D. Apparently Vietnam was no2 so you can do some detours there.
Ha, I've already gained weight since last week traveling in the south because the food are soooo good
@@natnomad You are a former Monk. Intermittent fasting is king haha
Sabaidee bro
Sabaidee, I've been enjoying your videos lately.
I thought you are Asian Australian 😅 Never knew you are Laotian.
Anyway, I think Laos is one of the last Asian frontier like Bhutan, Nepal or Uzbekistan. It seems so mystery and full of surprise.
Awe...I hope you will come visit Laos someday. Rainy reason is the best time, in my opinion. Nice and green
My first clip watching you! U said u r a real Lao & living in Laos ( Luangprabang ) as well. How come your English is perfect? I need to watch more of your video clips to find out I guess. Cheers! See ya! 😎😋😎
Thank you for your compliment. Big smile here🙂.
Back in the day when I was a monk, i was very lucky because this guy from the USA came to my temple in Luang Prabang and he set up free English class where i studied with him for 8 months. That's where i picked my accent🙂
Thanks for following my adventure. I hope you are enjoying it🙏
Nat, please go visit Thakhek! It's nice town. I was born there!
I've heard a lot of nice things about Thakhek, I'll definitely pay a visit someday😊
@@natnomad yes, it's nice and small town....not too busy with traffic. I like it more than Vientiane.
Southern Laos has many beautiful waterfalls. The most famous is the Khone Falls that famous chef Gordon Ramsay has filmed there.
I thought of going there many times. Hopefully someday
you speak English so perfectly. and well..
Thank you😊🙏
Wow ! U are lao from Louang prabang but your English is excellent , congratulations !
Thank you🙏😊
Hi ..Currently At Savannakhet… wanting to go Pakse tomorrow . In the video.u took mini van. Where did u take? How’s the frequency?
I was at the bus terminal and it stated 7 am and17.30pm. But I have heard horrible story of taking bus.
I took at the same bus station where I arrived.
I can't remember how often but I believe it's every hour. Please have a look at the video in Pakse, I explained about it at the beginning of the video
@@natnomad Thank you brother.
Yesterday when I arrived at Savan bus terminal from Thakhet (by mini van) I asked and was told only bus at 7am n 17.30pm. I just came to the same bus terminal n I saw the counter for mini van to Pakse… as in your video . 8am first van .
Kop hai mak nong.
May you be happy and healthy .
Oh btw. for those who watched the video n read this…
I was at bus terminal before 7am . Bought the 8am van ticket .
Went for breakfast n reached the terminal 7.40am. the van was about to leave and was already full.
The driver told me to take the next one which is 8.45am
So do reach the terminal much earlier.
Oh that's kind of stressful. Hope you'll get on the next bus ok. Thanks for sharing your experience
@@natnomad they put me on the next bus 9.45am. However it left at 9.15 when it was almost full
So people … do reach the terminal early.
