BUDDYMOON DAY 532/1000 (VLOG 146)
Today we board a luxury slow boat cruis down the mekong river here in Laos towards a town called Luang Prabang. This cruise will take 2 days so we will be stopping over in Pakbeng for the night in a luxury hotel.
Loas has just so much to offer and this was probably one of our favorite things to do and is a must if you are ever in Laos.
We want to travel from north Laos all the way to the South and the VIP Slow boat cruise is only the 1 activity of what lies ahead for us in Laos.
On day 1 of the slow boat cruise, we stopped at a village to explore how the people live and meet some kids.

Hey all, many of you are asking who we booked this trip with. We used Nagi of the Mekong. The price also included the over night stay in Pakbeng😁 nagiofmekong.com/

[@UdayPratapSinghChouhan-p8x]

How many money are you spend on this world tour?

[@davidh1927]

I am going to try them..

[@arunroy9514]

I like the way you go to little, unknown places and make them famous. You two are absolutely down-to-earth travellers willing to try out everything a country, town or village offers.

[@thebuddymoon]

Its nice to explore little gems😁 we feel that is where the best part of travel is😁😁

[@simonez9197]

The kids in the village are adorable and cute. They've a place in Leanne's heart I bet. Leanne is such a kind and generous lady - you'll never see her without the signature smile in all the vids.

[@thebuddymoon]

Ahhhh those kids have my heart for sure😜 they are soooo cute😁

[@joannebuncehall]

Travelling is not something I'm likely to do, but I love watching videos of people's adventures. Your channel is one of the best. Thanks for sharing xx

[@thebuddymoon]

Im soooo happy we are able to show a little bit of the world😁❤️

[@sikanderbrar247]

Hi Leanne and Dan you guys are doing great and one of my favorite couple. I am from punjab and cordially invites you to come and explore about life here. surprisingly you also improved my english language skills. Have a great evening and am eagerly waiting for new vlogs. Let me know if you are visiting soon am big fan of you guys.

[@thekoshertourist]

Nice to see there's a "luxury slow boat cruise from Thailand down to Luang Prabang. And having the room included in the overall price with those views, along with fruits and drinks (food for those who eat) looks great. Thanks for sharing.

[@raymondng18]

That lychee like fruit is called rambutan. Like durian the word rambut means hair in Malay while duri means thorn 😊

[@snowflakes2806]

Name of that fruit is "rambutan"

[@sunnykoh]

Simply beautiful. Laos is really underrated

[@internet_wanderer8316]

You guys know what to do and where to go. So your contents are really nice. Also even your communications are well planned. I mean brief and to the point.

[@thebuddymoon]

Thank you😁 such kind and nice words❤️❤️

[@gihanmoonasinghe8090]

In Sri lanka this fruit is called "Rabutan"..it is quite famous in here

[@ClintonB123]

Incredible! Fellow South African here... I absolutely LOVE your videos! I've probably watched like a 100 of your videos over the past few weeks since I discovered you on KZbin Shorts. PLEASE dont stop making videos! It brightens my day to see a new video on my home page! Love you guys! Keep up the good work! Cheers from back home!

[@thebuddymoon]

How good is this to hear from a South African😁😁 Thanks so much. So glad you enjoying our videos😁 many more to come😜

[@ClintonB123]

Thanks Dan and Leanne! Cant wait! ♥

[@sammayet9002]

Absolutely wonderful, awesome, amazing and spectacular ❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉

[@abbas431]

You got to spoil yourselves every now and then! The Meekong river cruise is food for the soul. I feel so chilled out. Thanks for sharing!

[@thebuddymoon]

Only a pleasure😁 was a chilled cruise and one to put on the books😁 Laos has been one of our favourite countries😁

[@chynnasavath3369]

Those kids they can feel love and kindness from you.

[@greyhound804]

Day 1 of the river boat cruise looks great. 🙂 Hotel looks stunning!

[@BreakawayBites]

Off we go on another adventure.... The hairy fruit is called a rambutan....This is such a unforgettable experience i reckon.... And accommodation is pretty awesome in a place like this .... and Laos is one of the poorest country in South East Asia... and might be the most underrated as well... pretty sure many tourists will eventually come and visit this place......Still thanks for sharing and showing us.... Looking forward to the rest of the journey... Cheers from JB / Singapore..!!

[@thebuddymoon]

100% agree... think Laos is slowly but surely going to start becoming a hotspot for tourists😁 and I hope it does so that the people of Loas can benefit😁

[@nurainfarisya3618]

Hello, Malaysian here! :D Wow, the boat is really interesting, I would love to experience it! The hairy fruit is called Rambutan! I really love eating it cold after putting it in the fridge :) And that hotel, oh my gosh it's a gorgeous place indeed! Can't wait to see your adventure in Luang Prabang

[@deziking]

that momen @11:00 being them kids hits me. hope they can venture the world in future.

[@mynp.8479]

Thank you for sharing, it's so sweet

[@Walker983]

Anotha Dynamite Show ! You should sit the Guides down and Interview them : They know things they don't know they know . . . 😺😺😺

[@thebuddymoon]

Keep watching and you will see us have almost a whole video with our guide😜 hint hint

[@anshude5293]

Gosh, what a wonderful video and quite an adventure on the boat. Seriously, I didnt want this video to end.

[@sunnykoh]

The hairy fruit is called rambutan

[@Ek-zl5ur]

I can’t wait to make this trip in a month or two !

[@MindTrippin-SinceBirth]

I did that trip 20 years ago and at that time there were no such luxury boats.. I remember the engine sound was deafening, almost impossible to talk.. We solved it with getting piss drunk and passing out.. Young boys :)

[@ejamchannel4362]

Love this channel!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Denise-uo7rv]

Love your interaction with the little ones! Stunning video and interesting as always!❤️

[@thebuddymoon]

How cute are they😜

[@lesgoelandsvoyageurs4407]

The slow boat is such a different experience! Beautiful viedo

[@adrianmagearu5411]

So happy I came across your channel!! I wanted to do this exact same land trip border crossing and start vlogging back in the day, but didn't. Thanks for sharing everything here! Can't wait for your next video, cheers guys!

[@cwaddell171]

Did this 2 day trip almost 10 years ago on my first backpacking trip and really liked that journey. Not sure if these boats existed back then but they look far more comfortable (although luckily our boat wasn't too crowded). Don't think hotels like that were there yet either, and we just turned up to get what was available. Sadly our first moments in Pak Beng started off with a pickup rushing past us into town, opposite our hotel, with a young boy who had just drowned in the river and loads of people gathered at that house to mourn all thorugh the night.

[@thebuddymoon]

Ahhhh no, that sounds terrible😮 definitely need to come back to Laos and get a new experience😁

[@mathunnyjose4467]

Travel at early life is very enthusiastic, once late makes a host of pre arrangements necessary. Better early than late.

[@nomadtribe862]

Amazing video.

[@thebuddymoon]

Thanks!

[@ipaintu]

Awesome y'all got to travel laos, it makes it much more enjoyable with the kids

[@TheLungNuad]

Enjoy with nature during low season

[@K8andGustav]

Hey guys! We get a bunch of those lychee like things over here in Thailand. It’s call Rambutam. So delicious. This looks like an awesome trip we wanna do it one day. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@thebuddymoon]

You should 100% do it😁 such an epic trip. Rambutan😜 pretty good😁

[@officialsolotraveler]

I had those litchis in Bali

[@shahabraziq4072]

There are some beautiful sceneries at Laos. Good video!

[@thebuddymoon]

How amazing are the views :)

[@842007842008]

would love to visit here and experience it.

[@rupman27isback]

Nothing is wrong with Wikipedia. That's a concern people had YEARS ago. Wikipedia always relies on credible sources. Also Wikipedia also says it's the 12th longest river as well. So idk what your buddy saw.

[@AI-Records24]

Yes and no. A lot of their information now comes from sources that aren’t verifiable, therefore cannot be fact. A bit like how they describe new world order as a “right wing conspiracy theory” when in actual fact it’s listed on the WEF website. That’s just a tip of the iceberg in the last few years something has happened to it which is really unfortunate. I’m not saying it can’t be trusted it’s very good for a lot of information however it’s not fact unequivocally. You should still check the information yourself.

[@sonevongkot6046]

Hope you enjoy your time in Laos, thanks for sharing beautiful nature with boat ride

[@blasblasblas2094]

Sa baidee: That's a beautiful boat, nice van, beautiful hotel view and very peaceful country with many ethnic villages along the river.

[@sonevongkot6046]

Beautiful couple and friendly..

[@raymonde4272]

Such a wonderful video guys, the people seem so nice and I bet that you could spend more than one night in that hotel.

[@thebuddymoon]

The people are amazing😁😁 that hotel was too amazing but one night is good for us😜😁

[@Benandmommy]

That fruit is called “ngor” in Lao And Rambutan in English

[@seeingisbelieving8519]

[@stephenpotts7040]
