So basically Lao is to Thailand what Canada is to America. Kinda French, kinda the same culturally but not really, and mostly ignored by everyone.
I loled way too hard at this comment, 'cause it's so true 😂
JohnTheScoutFilms
So true cause Canadians know all about America while Americans know nothing about Canada
It hurt me how true this is
JohnTheScoutFilms its still spelled laos not lao 😂😂
peru is like canada but without the leaf
Its time to learn Geography *LAOS!*

I'm a history student from Mexico that studied Laos for two semesters in my Asian history courses. I have to admit, I´ve been falling in love with the country ever since and I really hope that one day I'll be able to visit.
My brother was just there & he said that it's the "bomb".
What laos is mentioned in foreign history course?
@@jonangorman6341 Yes, it is. Personally, I've been working with lao history for almost two years now.
k lol
I’m from Laos and everything is cheap
I’m learning University with Laotian friends. They are so cute, kind, close,... and they drink beer so good . We usually drink for the Viet-Lao friendship. With love from Vietnam 🇻🇳

You call this humor for disrespecting country?
@@mounoi_ it's a joke from an American TV show called King of the Hill.

@@ranjanbiswas3233 someone should get you a cookie or something. I'm glad you said it
The 's' in Laos is because the English name (from French) is the PLURAL of the word "Lao" because it was attributed to the union of three Lao kingdoms. Therefore "Laos" is like saying "the Americas" when referring to North and South America. In English, "LaoSSSS" is perfectly correct.
But never used by any Lao people. Laos is pronounced Lao by locals. No word in the Lao language ends with 'S' 😉
@@fajaradi1223 Hahaha because we pronounce it wrong. Thanks Barby who give the correct pronounciation
There’s a large group of Laotians in my city and they all say “Laosssss”
XD
@@davidfriday2926 Yeah, actually Laotians say Laos and many westerners say Lao.
Here is an article about it www.tripsavvy.com/how-to-say-laos-3976795

Wow, I didn’t know the Philippines has great friendships with Laos. 👍🏼 nice!
ASEAN in general have good friendship with each other, visa free entry!
@@carmcam1 Say that to North and South Korea. Even Japan and Chinas had some issues before.
@Jacky Phantom My comment was a kinda a joke and I didn't know that it's not a big deal I just thought the misspelled.
I'm Lao and when I was in the Philippines, people there thought I was a Pinoy. Same goes for the rest of my family. They always try to speak to me in Tagalog.

I traveled Laos from south to north. The most intriguing country I have experienced so far. Still top of my list.
yeah, thai and lao languages is extremely similar.
im thai and almost perfectly understand lao language
iopfox kitsune wow cool
Same I understand Thai even if I’m lao
We completely understands what you said
yeah, im lao and i also can read thai language
Im lao and i live in the philippines
"Laos" is plural, named after three Lao territories united under French colonialism. So it's actually acceptable to call it "Laos" as an "s" is enunciated in English for plural words. Since you do countries by their English names, (ie: Ivory Coast, East Timor, etc), it's fine for you to pronounce in the English way. Or you could just say ສາທາລະນະລັດ ປະຊາທິປະໄຕ ປະຊາຊົນລາວ ;)
Thank you. This is correct :)
ລາວ
This is so true
Wow I’m Thai and I can read that too XD
Good points. I found there's a whole website dedicated to the "correct" pronunciation of Laos: laospronunciation.wordpress.com/
im actually part Lao but i was born in America and my dad never told me anything about the country so I didn't know much about it.I'm glad I got to find out more about Laos :)
Thank you to put some spot light into Laos. I have been gone almost 40 yrs; I still love to hear a good thing about my heritage.
Lao food is the best and the most healthy one.
you live there or go each year?
som tank laao
Many Lao's students are studying in Vietnam, from them I know and love Lao. Love from Vietnam
Physical geography is not boring!!!
Thank you
Love to Laos from Canada! 🇨🇦🤝🇱🇦
Love the video, made me smile. My girlfriend is from Laos. Had a great time with her family and friends on the rice farm and coffee plantation. ❤️❤️
I love this series but when you get to the famous people it would be pretty groovy if you could put in a subtitle what they are generally famous for, like artist, director, author, general, president. Short one or two word descriptions just in case i want to do my own research. Cause sometimes im curious but mostly its just a bunch of names and faces and i cant get much from that.
Great suggestion! Paul, can you please do that? It would be so cool! Thank you😊
I don't think Paul would do that ;p He has his editor for it ;p
that would be great
I'm too late bug I support this!
Latvia next! Hype!
Riga riga riga!
My country
I am going back to visit Latvia during their singing festival in July. I will be the guy with RIGA shaved into the sides of his mullet so look for me.
Sveiki from your Baltic sister, Lithuania!
Yeeeeeeesss
I love the way you explain things, easy to understand and I never get bored
I would like to show my gratitude here, thank you so much for promoting our country 🙏🏻
Im hyped for the Latvia episode!!!
its where im from i hope he talks about what the Russians are doing to Daugavpils its my city
Jamiethor101 So, what are they doing to your city then?
Mihalich EU I'm not
Sveike! I don't know anymore Latvian than that, I'm Swedish k?
Good day to you too.
Yes Latvia
are there also cheeki breeki stalkers in LT?
I miss Laos, my dad was working there in Vientiene and i flew there every year to spend holiday 2 times in a year. I like the people, our house keeping and her family are very lovely, cooked us very deliciouse food and her kids are my friend during my time there. We was visiting many places there, Luang Prabang are the old capital of Laos, night market, and we had to wake up early morning to see the monks collecting food from the comunity and us too. Was very nice time there. I like the people and of course the food nyummyy. Fish are fresh from the Mekong river, papaya salad are nyummy. The place we disline is Vang Vieng cause there lots of drunk young tourist, laud and impolite. Visited Vang Vieng only 2 times and stayed at the very nice river side hotel and was experinced the local food there too. Sadly my dad had to return back to Europe at 2013. Will retun back to Laos again. ❤
i did see and hear about the changes because of chinas inventions. i can only give the advice to every visitor of laos, to take care for the locals.
spend your money to them. and take each change to talk to them. you can talk to young fellas and beg them to tell it to their familys at home. to tell them the tresore of laos is what they allready are and have. there is no reason to become like tailand.
be a good tourist!
and get yourseld a bamboo bottel. like the working people use! you clean it with cooking it.
so you can use it for your drinks at all the streetfood spots. and keep the nature plastic free.

I love this video😍 Love you guys from Laos🇱🇦
I know they've been here for a couple episodes but the new intro and transition slides are AMAZING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I had the privilege of travelling in this amazing country. It’s the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen, it’s so unspoilt and pristine. The people are very traditional but also so friendly to tourists and very welcoming, plus the food is delicious. The road from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng had me in awe it’s the most scenic journey I experienced in 3 months travelling all over Southeast Asia. I can’t wait to go back some day
Hate to break it to you but that's most likely not the case anymore. I've just been to Laos earlier this year and there are lots of Chinese companies doing tons road work and carving large chunks off the sides of mountain. If you want to see the beauty of Laos for one last time, better go again as soon as this pandemic is over.
Thank you! I really learn a lot of things. From the Philippines🇵🇭
We had lao friends while studying in India.They were caring, lovely, sweet, friendly people.❤️ from Nepal.
This is unbelievably accurate, Idk how you got all the information and did the research, it seems that some insightful things you said are known only to Laotians, so good job!!!
I went to Laos like 3 years ago, it was one of the best experience I've had...Love from Thailand
Long time fan! Dude this is one of your best episodes to date. Hard to pick doh
Really looking forward to the Thailand episode!😁
OMG you're ACTUALLY at the Ls.
Ah such a sweet country, Laos. We are one ASEAN. May our countries prosper more through the years. You are always loved, always beautiful and forever great. Peace and hope from the Philippines ☺☺
Thank you 🙏🏻 for your nice video about Laos !
Aw I really like the physical geography part it's not boring. It's my favorite part about these episodes. The skits are fun and all but I love learning about the lands themselves
Laos is a beautiful country and the people are so friendly.
Negeri Laos sangat indah dan orangnya juga sangat ramah. Salam dari Indonesia. Semoga semua sahabat di Laos sehat selalu.
I’m soooo glad I stumbled on your video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 People don’t know enough about Laos. Beautiful country ❤️
Love the name 😂 If someone introduced themselves to me with that name, that would be a total social and cultural ice breaker.
@@kefler187 lol! 100% conversation starter!
@@CookingWithKhonKhao Without any accent markers, that can also be read as "stirring rice" and "people going in" 😆
Obviously your name gives enough context to know what is meant by it though.
@@kefler187 accent marks are not very searchable on TH-cam. Haha. Hopefully my Lao followers know what I mean.
The quality of your videos has gotten so good in the last 2-3 months. Keep up the great work!
I love Laos, it’s one of my favourite countries.
Haha. This guy is hilarious. My geography/history classes would have been awesome had he been my teacher. Will be travelling to Laos by the end of Jan! Stoked!
You are too funny!! Thanks for the smile. Love my motherland. Been there 4 times.

Many respect for Laos from Iraq and Iraqi person can visit with visa 🇮🇶🇱🇦
How is the condition there now ? Man I hope for the betterment of ur country
Looking to try and travel to Laos as well as Vietnam and Cambodia next year - they look like amazing countries!
TheSharkLord yes, I'm cambodian but these three countries are awesome.
I'm down there the next months. I'm incredibly hyped about it :) You should not just try, but instead just go there;) It's gonna be worth it no matter what!
I love the punches. Keep them coming
I love Laos from the Philippines. 🇵🇭😊
Happy Super Blue Blood Moon Everyone!
Seen Laos cuisine in one tv show...looked delicious...would love to visit there and try it sometime...Love and Cheers from India!!!
Lot of love❤😘 to Laos🇱🇦 from India🇮🇳
I am absolutely n love with this channel. First time here.
My children r Loatian , so i just happened to type the word Loa here on utube and this beautiful channel was an option. Coool
Im so happy you had the time to mention my Country,thanks!🇱🇦🙏🏽😊
Amazing episode! Love from Serbia Barby!
I'm quite delighted with some of the videos here! Very informative, but I was in shock to see no videos about Vietnam!
I’m shocked you looked at all his videos and couldn’t tell he’s going in alphabetical order
Would love to visit Laos someday! Love from India!
I actually really liked the alLaos joke at the beginning
justsomeone862 really? I thought they were LAOsy
I’m in love with this series! I was recently in the National Geography Bee School level competition and I got second place. I am really trying to get first place next year to get into the state competition, so I have watched almost all of your Countries A-Z videos. They are so informative but I think you should talk more about how life is for the people in that country. Like is their life good or is life in this country bad and are most people poor or rich and middle class? I feel like it would help us understand the country even better than before. It’s just an idea 🤷🏻♀️ but I think it would add some more useful information in your videos even though they are great and helpful either way 😊👍
This is very helpful thank you so much
There is also a pretty sizeable Hmong community in Fresno, California. It's the other big Hmong hub apart from Minnesota/Wisconsin.
Funny enough, my sister went to college in the Twin Cities and I went to college in Fresno. We both got to learn about Hmong folks mostly independent of each other.
NEXT IS LATVIA SUPERIOR POTATOES LAND!!!
Better than Ireland.....
It's funny, because a lot of latvian people emigrate to Ireland

Avery Lopez-Baines cuba how much you hated American or his government? Hell yeah😄😄
0:27 THAT SMILE
Good shows. Thanks for sharing us.
I love this video very informative!
I love how the content has evolved over the series. However it ends up being kind of sad for older episodes. I'm from Chile and I missed the "places to visit" or "people you might know" segments for that episode. Same for other episodes like Azerbaijan, Brasil or Argentina. Is there any plan on "adding" those segments in the future for older episodes?
Yeah, i wanted to know that too, it would be righ given that a lot of countries that came earlier din't had that
yeah, would be cool.
I didn't know they regard the Philippines as one of their best friends. Thank you...
Finally my geography now "Letter L" Countries are now complete!
Laos,Latvia,Lebanon,Lesotho, Liberia,Libya,Liechtenstein, Lithuania and Luxembourg!

Great video!
I spent a month in Vientiane (training Muay Lao), and one thing worth noting is OH MY GOODNESS SO MUCH BARBECUE. I'm not sure if it's just in the capital, or across the whole country, but around six o'clock the sky fills with smoke plumes from barbecue stands in markets and on street corners. It's a lot like the street food culture in Thailand, except 90% meat (with the occasional noodle or tea stand mixed in).
I love the brief history portions of these videos. Would you consider putting dates (or time periods) on screen for each portion/slide in the future? I think it'd help give a better sense of scale.
Laos, the most interesting place on earth. Living in Thailand, I visit Lots regularly and find new and amazing things each visit. Communication is easy and the people, regardless of ethnicity, are welcoming and gracious.
This stopped me dead in my scroll, hey I'm kon Lao too! Nice to see another kon Lao you ni youtube 😊
Most people think that Vientiane is pronounced as "Vien-tian", but its actually pronounced as "Vieng-jan". I know this because I am Thai and it is pronounced the exact same way as the Laotian pronunciation.
I've lived in Laos for 6 years and literally never heard this pronounciation... am I deaf
@@BarnabyTheEpicDoggo That's how everyone in Laos pronounces it. Ask any native Lao speaker to say it for you slowly and that's what you'll get. The "a" is pronounced as a short "u" sound like in "uh".
@@kefler187 actually that makes sense I've heard that pronunciation, I've just pronounced it Vieng-chan myself :/
so actually our schools in Vietnam teach how to pronounce them right, I thought they were incorrect for both "Laos" & "Vientiane"
I love laos 🇱🇦

Khmer people pronounced Laos Capital as "Viang Chan", Lao people might pronouced similarly. I'm from Cambodia and I really enjoy Lao papaya salad.
Year ago when I was in Siem Reap, I heard they pronounced "Viene-Ti-anh", even in the tavel agency. Thought it's official in Cambodia.
Phet Indra Siem Reap people have different dialect than the rest of the country therefore they might sound bit different but generally Khmer people refer Vientiane as Viang Chan.
Thanks for the amazing update. In addition, I was very astonished to the fact that Khmer people used to eat sticky rice too.
Vientiane used to be one of the capital outpost of the Khmer Empire. The modern day word Vientiane might derive from the Khmer ancient word. There are khmer temples in Vientiane.
Visal Sonnara same thai people pronounced laos capital as viang chan too😂 and i had tried lao papaya salad it was extremly spicy more than thai papaya salad 😂😂😂
hey, at 9:44. That's my boy scout troop. we repping from MN and Troop 100 is the troop we are a part of. So cool to see the photo being used.
My grandfather was Laos' only licensed civil engineer for a couple decades before the 1980s. We were expelled in the late 70s though and are planning to come visit soon. I may teach English there.
