That's where my parents are from. It's finally good to see the villages. I was born in Sithondone, laos back in 72.
Tuk tuk tour,that's the go for sure,nice informative tour. As mentioned,it's not a lot of money, ( food,tours,accommodation)for us Westerners,and more importantly,helps the people/businesses in these small places . Especially during/after the impact that Covid had .
Kenno...West Aust
Our first time there was 23 years ago. no roads no power.Bucket shower. It was fantastic.
Walked to end of island where only the Mekong separates Lao from Cambodia. Took a boat into the river and got to see the dolphins. There was not supposed to be any left. What a sight
That road tour was a nice way to start my Saturday morning with a cup of coffee. Very nice.
Glad you enjoyed 😁👍
Hoo uncle, another nice episode 👍 Thanks for sharing again 🙏💦
Nice Island limo tour! Like always ... Thanks for sharing brother.... Hey....i don't think you lost Neenee in this video 😆😂😆. (or did you cut that out)
I absolutely love this. One of the best travel Vlogs ever. Off the beaten track. Showing us life we would never see on any other videos. Thank you so much.
Great place out there. Really good touring in the tuk tuk
Nice 1 Tod and Ne Ne,
Not sure if you saw the remains of the old steam train the the water tower the French used for transportation across two Islands
I charted a boat to cross into Cambodia to try and see the water fall on the other side. But unfortunately was unsuccessful as I got a puncture on the bicycle that I hired. I wanted to check out the Don salat waterfall.
Love the vlogs and all the best to you both.
Pretty cool 😎
Thanks for the video! :) It looks like a nice and peacefull place. There are so many places I want to visit in South East Asia, so I dont know if I ever get there. But maybe with a combination of Pakse and northern Cambodia or soemthing...
I really enjoy your videos because you make them so interesting. I will be leaving Alaska about August a d head to my home in philippines. Than me and my daughter a d wife will take vacation in Laos
Thank you so much for todays video
Stephen
Good onya mate.. give us a heads up if you venture near Vientiane.. we'll have a chat over a beer 🍺
Thanks for watching Stephen, take care 👍
a really great, professional video as always!
Thanks man 👍
Nice little tour guys.Not a bad way to get around at all. They must really depend on the river. Stay safe guys. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
How long in pakse
you always have good videos and you guys are cute together
$15 for that Tuk Tuk ride was a bargain mate! Got to see so much more than you probably would have otherwise hey? Great video.... 👍👍👍
Hahaha dude.. we're not even finished with him yet... couldn't fit it all in one video where he took us 😝👍
Thanks Bill, you legend 🍺
Very nice
Nice Video. Thanks
Hello Todd
Thank you for sharing’ it’s so beautiful and one of my favorite city in Laos 👏
It says I was 1st this time
?? Don't know why
So nice that you made it to the temple on the island. I love the dragons on the staircase and the art designs. I notice that all the little shrines are where the dead are buried, like the wall at the temple back home that Neenee won't walk next to. Thank you very much Todd for going to the temple and showing me and others what we find fascinating about Asian lands. Hope you and Neenee enjoyed the ride on the way over. Peace to you both and again, a great big thanks Todd. have a good day and see you next time around. 👌👍
16:32 its in better shape then when I was there! the wood on the right wasn't on it . did make it across though just had to hold on to the wire on the one side !
Thank you for yet another relaxing and beautiful video, I also really like the intro music you use. Look forward to the next one
Thank you for the tour of this island. Nice temple and a bit of timber history during the French time. Like it der. Cheers 😀😎😂 See ya!
Your GoPro really work very good in Island village Bumpy road by Tuk Tuk Tour...Look like very smooth 😁👍
Well you certainly did the Island in style........thanks for sharing the ride. I was surprised the back wheel of the tuk tuk didn't slide down the bank into the river once or twice though 😁
This is our type of your, out-of-the-way places so natural never seen by many. U can't buy this footage it's just happening love it
Magic isn't it! 💚
🙏🏼Sabaidee!
Great drone shots, it was well worth the wait 👍
Thank you 😊
As i watch your video i can imagine the peace and tranquillity of the village and area.
Thanks for the journey mate 👍🏿

Excellent journey mate. Enjoy your videos.
What a great way to get around and show the area - top footage - enjoyed it T - 🍻🇦🇺👍🙏
I love your videos. They are always so relaxing to watch. It is such a beautiful tour.
Excellent video, Todd. So laid back and soon many cool houses and buildings. Loved the perspective of the drone footage at the beginning. I noticed that the roofs of this area aren't as colorful or textured as up north,, but still cool to see like that. I think my fave house was the one with the super long sidewalk made of pavers. This area of the Mekong is super interesting,,16 k wide water drop! Unbelievable! Very beautiful. I swear man,,the driver has got to be a secret king of master,,just easy going,,mellow. Seemed like he could handle anything. I'd be interested to know if he was ex military. I mentioned it to Neenee when she showed a vid of the river walls,,that everything to do with logging and timber is interesting. My Uncles and grandfather were loggers from 1938 until about 1995. And even after that a couple of my cousins owned and drove logging truck. When I was 6 years old my Grandpa showed my Dad and I a stump from a tree him and his brother fell back in the 40s that was 10 feet thru in each direction. You could still see notches they had cut to put springboards in to stand on so they could cut the tree above the swell of the tree base. I'd go logging with them in summer from the time I was 8,,most riding on dozens or trucks,,1st time I operated a bulldozer by myself,,I was 10. Was very dangerous work. One of my Uncles was nearly killed when I was 13. He was in hospital over 2 months,,then over a year recovery,,but he returned to logging even crippled up. Sorry lol ,, tangent. In Oregon and Washington they did huge log rafts of huge logs,,but that was mostly even before my Grandpa 's time. Until Neenee's vid,,I'd never seen walls used to direct to logs. Very interesting. I loved this vid. Thanks brother. Ttyl,,,Marlon
Another terrific vid Todd. A great place. A small Tesco and a Leagues Club, i could see myself moving there.
Renting a bicycle at 10,000 kip and riding around the 2 islands is more interesting and adventure
When you mention how much items and services cost it's very useful info. Really like when you show the inside of grocery stores and share prices of items.
💯🔥💙👍
We buy fuel from the local sari sari stores. Coke and sprite bottles
Dude what Camera used. Super sharp.
How shiny was the floors in thetemple
"Pretty sure the dog's barking at me" - Yes. The poor dogs is surrounded it's whole life with Stupas and then a white ghost appears.
Hi Todd
Help me out. I have always thought that houses on stilts had something to do with the fear of flooding. Is that a total misconception regarding Laos?
I see the houses elevated 5, 6, 7 m at Tonle Sap in Cambodia and understanding why when going thers during the raining season. But in Laos??? 🤔🤔🤔🙃🙃💛🧡❤🤠
Most definitely, flooding would be the number 1 reason to build high in Laos. It's always flooding somewhere in the wet season. There's many other benefits to building high as many others have commented. Take the Khmu homes for example. These people mostly live high in the mountains where flooding wouldn't bother them, but still their homes are up on stilts.
Kept finding myself saying ‘I wish I was there’ just hate this restricted lifestyle covid has brought upon us....although we did get our first shot now so there is a ounce of less stress...but still...I should be there...fixing that bridge!....lol
are there crocodiles?
Question or two lol, do they ever get bullsharks in the river or snakes haven't seen one yet
If they did.. they've probably eaten them all by now 😝
Actually, this is one of the very few places left in the world where you will still see fresh water dolphins. They do sight seeing boat tours at sunset in search of them 👌
@@NowinLao how cool what a great tour that would be, see U need to setup a Lao tour company hire few lao people , you just run promote holy hell I could see this go big time
No good for the piles ouch !!!
