    Yes I know I contribute to global warming by flying and traveling everywhere. In this video I showed information about what global warming is. I'm not a climate activist.

    I'm glad you finally got to the correct falls. Luang Prabang is a beautiful town and a wonderful travel destination. The people in this predominantly Buddhist country are peaceful, honest, and respectful, and the food is great. Just don't go during the burning season!

    Anothe tip, take a ferry across the river and walk north along the river. You can get a feel for local life there and not many tourists.

    Hey William you are my favourite one and only I love watching on TH-cam 🫶🏼 thanks for this wonderful video. I was in Thailand last year and went close to boarder of Laos. Saw the casino from across the river. You are a brave soul to have endured the agricultural smoke in Laos. Experienced it in Chiangmai, awful. Wish these countries would stop it, def not good for health, their governments need to help farmers. Anyways love your videos, such great quality of filming, you have the skills to be a movie producer & director for sure 👌🏽 ❤

    Ja ja ja William! That taxi reminded me of the so many rutas we've both taken over time in Mexico. No denying thought how inexpensive they are and they go everywhere if one knows where to pick them up.
    You mentioned swimming in waterfalls as one of your favorite things other than snorkeling, Ok, agree, same here with a bit of scuba when then conditions are right.
    Shoot I lettered in swimming and water polo so yes, love the water. Yet, IMOO, your best beach days as well as snorkeling days were with Maria.
    If there is a way I'd like to see each of you reunite as you two are very special, juntos! Espanol for together.
    Not judging, only a simple observation on my part. As always Amigo, suerte y salud!

    At 15:10 you visited a "Hmong" village, not "monk," William. The Hmong are a hill-tribe that originated in China many years ago, and now live in Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, as well as in the US, Canada, France, Australia, and other countries. By and large, the Hmong traditionally are not Buddhist, but rather animist, that is, believing in many spirits that exist in many inanimate objects such as trees.
    The musical instrument is called a "keng" which in the Hmong language is spelled "qeeb." In my estimation, it's the most easily recognized symbol of Hmong culture.

    Hey William good pieces on Laos also a lesson for travellers on the importance of research before travel. This is the dry season in SE Asia, when much vegetation dries out and dies. This is also the case where I have retired to in Koh Samui Thailand. The burning is very noxious but it is also most often controlled burning to prevent out of control burning of dead vegetation at the end of our dry season. It is this dry season that also minimizes the water in the falls you have been visiting.

    Over the last several years, SE Asia has been enduring one of the worst droughts in decades. The damage to trees you have been noting has not been caused by smoke, but is rather a result of prolonged hot and dry conditions. When it is dry like that, natural areas are prone to burning from wildfires. The burnt areas you showed at about 2:00 looks like wildfire damage to me.
