Just discovered this video I love it! Thank you!

have been a regular visitor to hua hin for the past 25 years and am here again just now, the teak palace is beautifully restored, worth seeing in itself,

Thanks for your comments...I see the report exactly as you do....a tribute to real acheivment and pleasing at every level.RMc

Nice, what a heartwarming video

Big Thankyou to Denzil & his team for helping the people & communities in rural Cambodia :-)

that scuba diving guy is really nice!

hello, would it be possible to get a copy of the booklet?

You have a point but many of us hardly think of oysters in the same light as real animals.....maybe we should. thanks Rod

seems so silly to use an animal for any other reason than food

love this place

Yes, my cousin is vietnamese, I hope they treated you well.

You have a voice of an opera singer. Beautiful and resonant.

If visiting Hua Hin this historic royal holiday villa is a great place to see.... it was long a place few visited or even knew where to find it, and as recently as the 1990s was completely derelict and destined for oblivion, until the Fine Arts Department took matters in hand and presented the Nation with a splendid and accurate restoration of this extraordinary structure set within a beautiful seaside garden estate. RMc

outstanding

This is Mark, I was in Pakse in 2009, when my cousin was working on that guess house. Any place in Pakse is good place to stay. I wish I could stay little bit longer. My uncle xei the guy with red nose did come to visite me later that year. He and my aunt took a plane to america. He was suppose to get off the plane in hong kong and change fligh but he stay on the plane and the plane took him all the way to norway. lol. well that was funny...

Thank you Rod for sharing your video.

Your a goose to ..... do you prefer a beach covered in litter ? thats better than posters on a tree ?

A good report and this gentleman is very professional indeed. Well done.

so..basically..tourists have ruined it ?

please don't let the thais deceive you. Those captive elephants have a broken spirit because they go through phajaan. Google this word.

Thank you for your summary of this video, MatlasX.....you're entirely correct in your view of my intentions. The only Big Deal about it is the expansive joy of the city. which is freely available to anyone with an open heart who finds themself in Vientiane.....RMc

I think you are being a bit too sensitive. He simply transitioned to Nong Khai at the end of the video, but you make it seem as though Thailand or other countries in the region took up the lion's share of the video. Trust me, I think he did a good job with this video... to the point where I can see myself visiting there in the near future. Again, he spent a few seconds on the currency and wrapped up the video talking about exiting Laos. Don't make more of it than what it was.

Many thanks...we should all try and get there more often, and help to keep it beautiful..Rod

Good work Rod. Great documentary. Felt like it was hosted and narated by Roger Moore lol

Thank for video proud of you :D

I am very glad that you enjoyed seeing this story, as it was a real pleasure to be there. Rod

love ur video

This story about a visit to the now popular city of Vientiane quietly establishes that it is readily accessible from Thailand, the North East of which is enormously influenced by the enduring culture of Laos....I'm sure you know for example that the Esaan language is virtually the same as Lao, and any reading of the shared history reveals why that is so. Cindy, your inclination to overly protect your vision of this robust country is rather too matronizing towards a proud people . Rod

Rod, please show more respect toward Laos since it's such a beautiful and charming country. This video is about Laos so why is it necessary to mention neighboring countries and/or their currencies? Thailand and Cambodia also accept neighboring currencies so please don't make a big deal about it. This video is about Vientiane so why show clips of Nong Khai, Thailand? When you make videos about Nong Khai, do you show clips of Vientiane, Laos? So please focus on the country that you're in.

Tireless he certainly is , in the same sense the German general thought he could use just about every kind of staff officer except those who are "stupid and energetic " and who are a danger and must be immediately dismissed. ! "

It is terrific to hear from you with your generous assessment of this story..I hope to keep them coming for our mutual interest and enjoyment of different special places. Regards Rod

Dear Toon...You already know a lot about your wonderful country, Lao, and that is why you are an ideal guide,,,,,we will have to go to another place soon to see what we can find that our viewers will enjoy....Best wishes Rod

Many thanks...I'm very pleased that so many others are delighted to visit these wondrous places......with me or other reporters....Rod

Yes the signs are a bit excessive but so is the way in which committed smokers fling used cigarettes where ever they please.....creating pollution in the Jomtien area where I live. Rod

Great...he is certainly tireless in his work, even if not everybody approves of it for reasons of their own Rod

Yes, in a manner that is very community aware...so the more that others assist the more he can provide...Rod

Denzil is truly a self-made person!

Many thanks for viewing the stories....please also see DestinationThailand.TV for more from my colleagues and me...there's a wide variety... Rod

Many thanks...please also see DestinationThailand.TV
