⚠️ AVOID The Center Of Vientiane... 🇱🇦| TRUE OPINIONS About The Capital City Of Laos

[@Captain250FX]

My wife's family still lives in Vientiane and we visit every few years. It's very peaceful and most are friendly. When visiting you have to slow down and enjoy its much slower pace of life.

[@Chai_Travel]

Very nice! I’m glad you’re able to come over every now and then :) thanks for watching

[@TimK2646]

Nice place. LAOS is emerging very well. So many foreign tourists there. They are so blessed.

[@digitaldefect5889]

What do you mean? The economy is completely fucked up in this country xd Laos is in huge debt to China and inflation keeps going.

[@HealingWithHammond]

I've been thinking of moving to Laos Capital for a year . Great to watch

[@Chai_Travel]

Nice! I think it's a nice choice :)

[@shanazci]

Having lived in Savannakhet before, stopping by Vientiane before heading home in between work was luxury thing, somehow. I miss Laos.

[@liamburns8554]

FYI Prices are not cheaper In Vientiane compared to Thailand

[@joyyyy777]

Great journey great experience. Keep up the great work.

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha! Thanks again ❤️ have a good day ahead

[@stevens8785]

Nice work as always champ. Lets hope it and other videos are rewarded with better subbie support with views, thumbs up and comments. I am surprised that the numbers are fairly low especially the last video when you went out and about amongst it all where very few tourists venture. I thought that was brilliant, great viewing. 🤩

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks champ Steven, aw yeah let’s see how it goes. You loose some you win some ;p but a great experience it was regardless. For some reason my of the beaten track video never do so well in numbers of views so it’s okay. I’m sure there will be some bangers coming up again soon (just a matter of time and a bit of effort haha). Thanks again mate, I hope all goes well down under?!

[@stevens8785]

@@Chai_Travel all good here mate. This last week the top temperatures are up from mid teens to twenty seven or so degrees so nature knows winter is gone and spring is upon us. Much better conditions for the daily walks. Don't worry if you miss replying mate. You've got plenty enough on your plate happening. I do the easy bit tuning in, watching and replying. 🤩

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks for understanding Steven. Then again 🤩happy Sunday

Thank YOU for watching 🙏

Having lived in both Vientiane and Bangkok, I've found Vientiane to be a more enjoyable and affordable city. The cost of living is significantly lower, especially when it comes to social activities. The Lao people are incredibly welcoming, as long as you respect their customs and traditions. This simply means showing respect to authority figures, elders, and women. Avoid public displays of affection, anger, and inappropriate attire. While certain behaviors might be acceptable in in other countries, it's best to avoid them in public in Laos. Remember, Laos is a different culture, so patience and humility are key. Avoid coming to Laos solely for "casual relationships". Instead, enjoy the local culture, sort out your visa, or potentially settle down with a local. However, be aware that the marriage process can be complex. If you choose to settle with a local, be prepared to contribute to family responsibilities to some extent. The concepts of love and support/duty are one and the same here. Finally, when interacting with authorities, maintain a calm demeanor. Informal practices like gift-giving or treating officials to a meal can be helpful in maintaining positive relationships.

Its just. Lovely.

[@khayri31]

Chai, I went to Laos on my SE journey back in July and Laos was my first country to visit. I say Vientiane is cool and peaceful. Met some locals and foreigners that lived there made my experience better. I will always recommend people to come here. You should go to moonlight lounge nice little lounge and a great place to meet people to interview.

[@Chai_Travel]

Ey mate, cool! Unfortunately I have to miss it as I’ve arrived back in Thailand again. Hopefully we’re able to go next time 😊 thanks!

[@mangostickyrice555]

Thumbs up 👍 Champ……Not a lot to do but fun

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks mate :) it’s nice for a few days 😁 have a good day

[@BreakawayBites]

Though hailing from Singapore I haven't been to Laos yet, but i would like to make a trip there. Would like to visit all the South East Asian countries, Only did half of them, so probably Laos or Vietnam is next. Cheers mate! Keep up the grind.

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks mate :)

[@pepeee548]

Hi Chai, could you try go to Golden Triangle in Laos making some interviews there?

[@Chai_Travel]

I won’t be able to go for at least another year but I’ll put it on the list :)

[@Zenithino11]

Peaceful, but expensive. Laos imports almost everything.

[@OrganicFaithFactory]

How it can be cheaper, except for beers and wine, almost everything are imported from Thailand

[@Chai_Travel]

I'd say I spend on average about the same in both countries.

[@bonneville1972]

only alcohol is cheaper. Almost everything else is more expensive.

[@sagepirotess6312]

I felt Lao cheaper. In food, rooms, entertainment.

[@Totse2k23]

Bad drivers, traffic, expensive, not much to do. Been there for 3 months lol.

[@Chai_Travel]

Bad drivers 🤣

[@richardmartel5120]

Can't believe you bumped into Walter the "teacher" lost in Laos.

[@MyLifeThai371]

VERY interesting people you interviewed this time. I learned a lot. In Thailand people seem to eat like rabbits. In Cambodia the locals eat western food. What type of food do the Laos people eat?

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha thanks! Well, I think you maybe wrong about Thais and Cambodians 🤭 but if you say it like this than my answer will be instant noodle soup with chicken😅

[@doungxaismn2555]

In Laos we eat sticky rice and almost all food in our country is suitable to eating with sticky rice, that's how local people eating

[@jonklause5130]

@@doungxaismn2555 I love sticky rice. I get a surprised look when I order it. Tastes so good.

[@jasondavies8722]

cambodian people are not big eaters of western food,they eat their food mostly

[@DutchFlavour]

Lol all interviewies Dutch would've never expected that. They contact you or you just find them random on the street or?

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha, nope. Totally random :)

[@nutrino75]

[@boxingmonkey8621]

Ultimate respect to that dear New York Lady What a treasure of a human being And looks amazing for 85 Good luck to her Hope she votes by post She doesn’t strike me as a Trump Supporter 💙

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha nope! I think you’re right about that!

[@Bravactkins]

AI guy ....whaaat?

[@Chai_Travel]

Al guy?

[@harveythompson1756]

Why would you title this AVOID The centre Of Vientiane??

[@Chai_Travel]

Because the Dutch gent was saying; if you you’re not a tourist, avoid the Center. The title also includes that it’s about opinions. Apologies if you get offended by the title but I hope this video is making people wanna go to Vientiane rather than any else 🙏
