Deeply underrated city. Not necessarily because it’s packed with attractions, but the atmosphere is unmatched in the region. I’ve been to Vientiane five times since 2002 and I fall in love with it even more whenever I visit.
I was in Laos last week with my 2 daughters. It was so chill that even the animals were chill. My high light was Vangvieng. We stayed at Amari Hotel with a magical views. Enjoy your Laos journey.
Just coming back from Vientiane to Bkk this morning. Such a nice city very peaceful and people are chill. No crowded, food is really good and cheap. One thing is it's so hard to communicate in English.
another interesting place I like to know.specially their culture,tourism and food (street food in particular) to name a few.looking forward to the rest of your adventures there.
It’s nice to see Laos and Cambodia finally developing. Haven’t been to either, but the entire Indochina region had a hard 20th century. Vientiane looks a pretty easy going capital, compared to the likes of Bangkok, Phnom Pehn and Ho Chi Minh city. I hope you do a food tour of the city.
Phnom Penh was one of the fastest growing cities in Indochina/Southeast Asia up until the Genocide and war (4 years + 10+ years) completely destroyed the momentum and urban planning that the city had going :( The Cambodian music and film industry was booming prior to the war, even screening internationally in Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Now that there's peace, Southeast Asia is rapidly advancing into this century :)))
Wow so amazing adventure again thank you Molly and Matt for your hard work thank you so much you know im watching her in USA i always watching your amazing adventures even im so behind but i keep watching you and always checking if you guys have another upload and im so happy lots of watching your adventures take care and always be safe and thank you for the history of that country 💖💖💖⭐️⭐️⭐️👌👌👌
Im laotion. Welcome to Laos Thank you very much to visit our country i hope you enjoy in laos ...With out Vientiane still have Vangvieng , Luangprabang, khuanmuan(thakhaek) there are many caves, Champasak pakse khonphapheng waterfall , 4000 island
Laos is definitely one of my favourite places- Todd, from - Now in Laos - is one of my favourite You Tubers , next to you two 😁 - very cool you two are in Laos 👍🙂
Vientiane has it's charm. It's pretty chill if that's what you're looking for. It's so hot during the day. People go out at night to enjoy the night markets . Some of our favorite places are Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Xiangkhoang where the Plain of Jars are located. Best time to visit Lao is January/February during their New Year. Lots of fun things to do, such the boat races on the Mekong River. The Water Festival, The Rockets Festival. These are just a few events around that time of year. You guys just missed it. Hope you had a great time there. A return visit is a must for their New Year. All the best .Mates 👍👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki And go Chelsea !!
Thank you to the both of you for taking the time to do your research on the history of the country. This is what traveling around the world should be about. The appreciation of the places that you traveled to and not just about the glams.
Chào, đi chơi công viên và vườn bách thú Việt Nam nhé. 🇻🇳 1. Công viên Hồ Tây 2. Công viên Thủ Lệ 3. Công viên Thiên đường Bảo Sơn 4. Thảo cầm viên Sài Gòn 5. Vinpearl Safari Phú Quốc.
Very well done video guys! Ive been living in laos since covid lockdowns got stuck, travelled through 70 % of the country , fell in love with a lass and just got married a week ago lol, so yeah we do love Laos for its peacefull pace
The way you honoured and shared the history of Laos made me tear up as my parents are from here. Thank you so much for how respectful you were and raising awareness about the tragedies of the secret war ! ❤
Laos is the most bombed country in the world. The USA bombed it during the Vietnam War. It damaged the pristine jungles and killed many wildlife like elephants and tigers.
Thank you for visiting Laos. I hope you guys enjoy your stay. You guys are correct about capital city not like the other capital city. We're hoping stay that way peaceful and quiet. Enjoy and come back again 🙏
Thank you Matt and Molly and welcome to Laos! I’m glad you guys enjoyed it, I’m Laos local here and willing to show you guys around next time for the in-depth insider is what they call 😉 Take care and good luck to your next trip 🙏🏽♥️
"other side of the river is Udon Thani" !!! other side of the river is Sri Chiang Mai, and if you go east and cross the bridge you will be in Nong Khai. Udon THani is more than 80 kms away
This looks like a really peaceful place to visit. Your video was also very good and very well made and narrated. Hope you enjoyed the beer in the that 45C heat!
Laos needs more tourists like you, but you all need spend more money there. Helps out the economy. Buddha park was created by one man on both banks of the Mekong. Thanks for learning some native lingo.
My wife and I are Australian. We lived in Vientiane 2007-2015. The food in Laos is amazing and the people wonderful. What Laos does well is bread, coffee and beer. That's three food groups covered. Naked Espresso was started by two brother, Billie and Bobbie. There's also a third brother, Kook. Billie and Bobbie are Australian university alumni, studied in Melbourne. I think there are now three Naked Espressos in Vientiane and one in Vang Vieng. The first one was away from the central business district in Rue Dongpayna and was fashioned in the Melbourne café style, and only very small. The original Naked Espresso just around the corner where we lived, so it was our 'local' café. There's a saying among the Vientiane café set. "See you naked?", meaning, I'll meet you at Naked Espresso. Patuxai is sometimes nick named 'Runway Number Two". It was built from 'hijacked' (some say stolen) concrete brought in to extend Vientiane airport. About the football shirts. Football is huge in Laos. It's not the national sport but the Lao loving playing. Most organisations, bigger businesses etc, even the services like the army and police field teams, who play among each other. Even the government ministries field teams. It's a strictly amateur/social competition. The Lao Army shirt you bought was probably made and printed for the army players and any left overs, or seconds find themselves at the markets.
"Hello Molly and Matt, say hi from the USA! I'm eagerly waiting for more videos from Myanmar. Sorry to hear that you're already leaving Burma. Hope you have a wonderful time in Laos, another beautiful country! Wow, did you really pay £750 for a SIM card for just two weeks? That's so expensive! Take care."👋😊
We are moving to Phonhong Laos. My wifes home country. I love Laos. The people, the food, the scenery and mostly, the slow pace of life. As they say, Sa Bai, Sa Bai. Or "TAKE IT EASY, SLOW DOWN"
Loved it! I'm guessing at some point you'll be heading to Luang Prabang? I was there last October, and absolutely fell in love with it! I did exactly the same as you and drew 77 quid's worth of Kip out of the ATM, it was fun being a multi millionaire for a few days! 😆
@dabbleandtravel The funniest thing for me was when I went to buy a SIM card at the airport. I was quoted a price in thousands of Kip, and automatically thought that was too expensive and was going to wait to see if I could get one cheaper in town. But then I thought about it, and realised they were charging me about £1.60!! 😁
My home. An authentic place with temples, cafes, bars and working people. 700 000 in the suburbs. Busier there. Deceptive as planning as meant gov. Workers moving outside to buildings in suburbs to reduce the towns traffic. Lots of businesses havr moved out due to high rent.
Essan people are Lao people by ethnicity. Essan language was a made up language to erase the Lao history in that northeastern region, what is currently now known as the Essan region...They speak the Lao language and share the same culture & traditions. Bangkok region are the real thais
Please provide correct information. Laos used to belong to Thailand, but was separated by the French, causing Laos to use the same language as the northeastern region of Thailand.

I smashed the like 👍🏼 button and subscribed to your channel just because you visited Laos 🇱🇦 and shared your experience. Great job 👏 now I’m thirsty for some cold crispy BeerLao 😅
It's fantastic that you traveled to Laos and show the people and sights. I am from the U.S. and condemn the massive bombs that hit Laos during the Vietnam War. I went to the museum in Laos which reflected the dessimation. My only correction is your statement that China "gave" the rapid train to Laos. China was compensated for building the Laos railway primarily through a financing arrangement. The construction of the Laos-China Railway was funded by a significant loan from China to Laos, with China also providing much of the construction and engineering expertise. In addition to the loan, the Chinese government often covers the costs of materials and labor, which means China benefits from the project in several ways: 1. **Loan Repayment**: Laos is required to repay the loan over time, typically through revenue generated by the railway and other economic benefits. 2. **Operational Control**: China often retains control or a significant stake in the operational management of such projects, ensuring ongoing economic benefits. 3. **Economic Influence**: Such infrastructure projects strengthen China’s economic influence and presence in the region, potentially leading to increased trade and investment opportunities. 4. **Strategic Interests**: By building and financing infrastructure in neighboring countries, China enhances its strategic and geopolitical influence. This approach aligns with China's broader Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to create a network of trade routes and economic partnerships across Asia and beyond.
It is better than colonialists who did fuck all but exploited countries all over the world from South America to Africa and Asia. Your mighty USA gave Laos all those bombs. Have some dignity and acknowledge the US is evil and was built based on genocide.👎 Edit: tell your evil gov't. to stop sending arms to other countries to create division and most importantly get out of Diego Garcia stop condoning genocide in G...💩
welcome to Laos I am living in Vientiane I am willing to take you and see around if you don't mind. I been lived in Poole England for 3 years and I was dying for my country and Lao food😂😂so we all moved back in December 2023 ❤
Lol, as with most major big cities it’s just not that nice to visit.. too crowded too touristy & increasing in danger. 😌👍 we also don’t watch the news anymore
Deeply underrated city. Not necessarily because it’s packed with attractions, but the atmosphere is unmatched in the region. I’ve been to Vientiane five times since 2002 and I fall in love with it even more whenever I visit.

"other side of the river is Udon Thani" !!! other side of the river is Sri Chiang Mai, and if you go east and cross the bridge you will be in Nong Khai. Udon THani is more than 80 kms away
Phnom Penh has also their own Arch De Triumph with a Huge Colonial Building but it’s Entirely Empty I heard!
Wow! Honestly don’t remember as we visited many years ago!
This looks like a really peaceful place to visit. Your video was also very good and very well made and narrated. Hope you enjoyed the beer in the that 45C heat!
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing video! Definitely underrated city. The bakery and coffee are extremely amazing. Please come to visit!

Welcome to 🇱🇦 ❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
I really enjoy watching your video, amazing!
Thank you so much!
It has changed. 30 years back even the capital Vientiane was a small town with few modern buildings.
Yes it’s crazy how much it’s developed (and still developing)
im so enjoying ur vibe, its like going to laos with u guys. btw im Cambodian, hope u to see u guys back for cambo vlog in siem reap or phnom penh.
Brilliant video again Matt & Molly ❤ Laos looks amazing 🤩 Love you guys Crocs - are yourl wearing white or bone Color crocs? 😅

@@dabbleandtravel Pleasure :) Aah they look super cool 😎👍 Keep well and look forward to more amazing content 🥰
We literally don’t wear anything else now they’re the best travelling shoes 😂😂 thanks so much!🥰😍
Huge fan of Beer Lao, especially the Dark Beer Lao. I think it is one of the best, or maybe the best, Beer in Asia.
I would like to inform you that the opposite of Vientian is Nongkhai province. Udonthani is the city next to Nongkhai.
All my love to Laos 🇱🇦 from Venezuela 🇻🇪 ❤
Thank you for the review.
I have to do a border run from Bangkok and don’t like long bus rides. I guess I will fly to vte for a few nights and fly back
We are moving to Phonhong Laos. My wifes home country. I love Laos. The people, the food, the scenery and mostly, the slow pace of life. As they say, Sa Bai, Sa Bai. Or "TAKE IT EASY, SLOW DOWN"
Please come back to Bangladesh. Especially in Chittagong. Miss those vlogs.
Don’t forget you’ve also been to the arcul de triumph in Bucharest!
Omgomg!!! We’re forgetting a few lol!
Loved it! I'm guessing at some point you'll be heading to Luang Prabang? I was there last October, and absolutely fell in love with it!
I did exactly the same as you and drew 77 quid's worth of Kip out of the ATM, it was fun being a multi millionaire for a few days! 😆
Of course!!!! We loved LP!!! And the £77 quid didn’t last that long for us 😂😂😂😂

Before Thailand and Laos are not divided..Isan are originated from Laos. Isan speaks Lao and eat Lao food. Thanks for sharing..beautiful video

I love your videos ❤❤
Thanks for showing the museum… so sad
We went to Vientiane last year, was not impressed by how dirty and rundown the street bordering the Mekong was for a capital city of a country.
It's a country still under development.. hopefully it will be nice and clean so it can attract more tourists!!
Laos is developing a lot right now.
@@chung388😂 it is rundown and filthy because of the development. Even a decade ago Vientiane was cleaner , nicer , friendlier.
@@dowtingtomas.695 yes, Agree I was there Feb..hopefully they will manage and help keep the city clean.
@@chung388 not looking good man. Vang vieng is worse though . It is a rundown shithole nowadays. Even worse than the Tubing days.
