We drove from Vientiane, north to Phongsali, stopping at various locations along the way. We then drove south to Nakasong and back to Vientiane. It took us 16 days. Our lodging was cheap, about $10.00 per day. Food was also cheap. Some of the hotels/motels included breakfast, some didn't. Phongsali was the most dramatic location we visited. The weather was extremely cool and the people were most friendly.

Great information mate. I can’t believe the costs of some of the things there. It looks like the largest cost for us will be the flights there and back.

[@tobyjugg6202]

Good vid mate, - Having a travel buddy who speaks the lingo is crucial - it just takes the strain off everything I find and opens up real communication for finding hidden gems. Id have been buggered in Isaan without my mrs tho she, like Neenee, found herself struggling with the real rural folk who live near borders etc where the language is so specialised. Being able to communicate sure saves time and a whole lot of pain. $ well spent there mate without a doubt a bargain for what you and we viewers got out of it.

[@tycokhamphavong8062]

During my trip to Laos in 2014, my rental vehicle costs for 16 days was approximately 800,000 Kip, which, at the exchange rate then, was about $650.00.

Can I ask Gene.. was it a SUV, and where did you rent it from? Exchange rate now, that would be over $80 US a day

[@traveltheworld4118]

Hi Todd and Nini, happy new year. I think i watched all of it, it was fantastic and very good. Also our old garage music you always use. One question is it possible to do a trip say from Thailand to Laos and Vietnam back to Thailand on your own motorbike. Planing and would like to do that in the future. Ps. Not living in Thailand at this stage. Cheers. Keep up the good work. Great vid’s.🍻👍👀

[@NowinLao]

Thank you, and best wishes to you also. Crossing borders on motorcycles is very difficult, and I'm pretty sure you can't do it from Laos to Vietnam and vice versa.

[@175ahc5]

Motorcycles between Lao,Cambodia,Vietnam no problem for any licensed in those countries. Thailand though is a big issue for non Thai licensed bikes. Also Vietnam,Lao or Cambodian sims work in all three, but not Thailand. Leaving Vietnam for Cambodia this month. Will get to Lao yet, lol. Thanks for the work on the videos!

Sure, you'll find local chicken and watermelon buses to most of these out of the way places we go. Vientiane - Xaysomboun - Phonsavan. Any of these 3 major cities will have smaller local buses that would pass thru the smaller villages. You just need to know where you're going.

[@petercha5184]

it's good for you and yours wife's all the costs! Still very low costs! as far, I know that's there's many Hmongs and laos people came back to visit laos , they have been take advantage by thoses Laos and Hmong people back in Laos by cheaping , they had been spending a lots of money thousands of us $dollars for visiting Laos for couples weeks! Happy New year's to 2022! ps! you too are lucky, because you too has not been poisoned! there were some couples peoples who kept came back Laos had dead by poison or something else's we don't knows all we knew that when they came back visit home town in laos and end up dead.

In past experiences the price of rental vehicles is outrageous once they know that you will be heading out into the jungle. It's usually cheaper to con a taxi driver and pay for his food/accommodation. I used to do 2 - 3 day trips for about $80 USD.

[@mikegilyeat3213]

Great price for 19 days. Gas here averaging $5.60-$6.30/gallon now. Meals, easy $45-$60/day. Accommodations; wow...Blown budget there.

Yeah, accom' in Aust is ridiculous also. So cheap travelling around here if you have your own vehicle. Hiring a car would bump the costs up considerably.

[@billydong9640]

Great informative Vlog Todd but a general question about the accommodations.. was that a flat rate or is it like in Thailand where there are two rate systems one for locals and one for tourists? I would presume because of NeeNee speaking Lao.. she did the bookings

Hi Thomas I have lived in a village in Lao, for the last 7 years, and the law is you can only accommodate someone who is not a relative if you are a registered accommodation business. If you are part of a family then staying over night is not against the law. When my brother visited from NZ we had to register at the police station, and pay a fee, but it was a legal act. The only issue is where you sleep, not where you go to eat for the evening.

Hi Todd,,,soooooo wonderfully inexpensive! Because we think the same,,,I think I know why you got sidetracked talking about things,,about those people being so accepting and friendly. They absolutely are not required to be nice,,but they are,,they are interested in you. Todd,,you are a humble,,friendly person,,,you are interested in them, their lives,,equipment,,etc.. and they feel that. Thinking back on that , makes us emotional. Dude,,,,me not even being there,,I've got emotional about many things you've shown. The little girl asking for cookies after you ran out,,,the young guy spending his own money,,and time to teach English for a couple examples. I get emotional about that stupid secret war,,,about beautiful women I will never meet. Lol What was the name of the squatter guesthouse,,POO viang? Maybe not stay in towns called Poo? Lmao,,,that owner was so sweet and helpful,,,how could you NOT want to stay there? You and Neenee make every trip beautiful,,,by what you say,,and your interactions with the people. You have that magical ability, to make us feel we are there,,,part of the trip. To me,,,traveling is seldom about sites you plan to see,,traveling is about the unexpected beauty you see around the next corner..its about communicating with people whose language you dont have a clue about,,but understand completely. I KNOW you know what I mean,,,because I've watched you do it a dozen times. Thank you so very much,! Dad watched the English teacher vids just the other day,,,and was very impressed. He saw some brochures that he has used himself,,to teach a group of Mexican kids English a few years ago,,,before he was 80. He thought that was very cool. Take care of yourselves, brother,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
