[@kushal809]

Awesome vlog 🔥🔥 love your Laos series ❤ keep it up 👍

[@eyg71]

Good job David, please keep pumping out videos like its HOT!

My favorite place. From 🇰🇭

Another great/informative video. Unfortunately, you are in the middle of a very hot season in Laos. The Patou-Xay = Gate-Victory (Victory gate) and yes, it is roughly 50 years old. If you would like to try the real traditional Lao cuisine, you may need to go to a traditional Lao restaurant. There is one near the intersection between Lanxang avenue and Samsenthai road and is called Kuala restaurant, but it is somewhat more expensive than what you find on roadsides or shopping malls. Again, thanks for the interesting video.

I love your channel, I’m glad lotteria still exists!

[@jpnphom5470]

Thank you for visiting Laos 🙏

[@walternyc]

If I ever decide to make a KZbin travel channel I will try the "I visit and it is exactly as I expected it" as a hook. Thanks for the video :)

Lao đẹp hơn Việt Nam.hay mình ở Việt và đi nhiều nên thấy bình thường.

I had been to the capital of Laos and surrounding states in 2023 for 3 weeks

[@TheIc420]

I think renting a scooter is a great idea! Where can I do that once I land in Vientiane and how much is it?

[@davidkhai]

Best thing is to search scooter rentals on google, or ask your hotel. They generally either have some to rent out or know the good spots

[@dominirajapaksha2884]

How much it spent for all food air tickets hotels everything

[@davidkhai]

Too hard to say, on average flights $100-$200 AUD if you’re already in Asia and hotels I try to average $40 AUD at most a day

Products sold in Laos come from Thailand 99%.

[@SKYBaal-ms6xw]

Laos needs to built there own product.. And don't dependable to much on the Thai.. Laos can do there own coconut milk, Bamboo, ..sent and sale in USA like Thailand and Vietnamese...Like Padaek , sale for 7$ in USA... Pretty sure Laos make good Padaek..But I see only Thai and Vietnamese sale in USA!!!

[@ankpms830]

Definitely not 99%, there are many products from China and Vietnam as well.

[@ShelbyA2LA]

More like China

[@user-kq1zcwh8]

I think you and Wendy are a good match. Both of u love travel. Are you sure still gonna keep that "friend" status? Hehehe just saying 😅

[@elperro3056]

Visa on arrival available?

[@davidkhai]

I believe so, but I always get the e-visa to be safe

[@BRUCECRUZ]

The correct pronunciation would be "phat-thu-sai" although it's spell phatuxay

[@jamebong1494]

Laos government might be not the best but laotion people are very friendly and peaceful low crime compare to Thailand

[@davidkhai]

I loved the people when I was there, so friendly

[@sonevongkot6046]

It pronounced Vieng,. Chanh

[@hoangminhngo4481]

DO YOU KNOW , LAOS ...ALMOST THEY KNOW VIETNAMESE...SO YOU CAN USE VIETNAMESE TO TALK TO THEM ....THE STUDENTS IN LAOS HAVE LEARNED VIETNAMESE WHEN START TO GO TO SCHOOL...DUE TO VIETNAM AND LAOS ARE BROTHERS AND BEST FRIENDS ....

[@davidkhai]

[@ironbuffaloXX]

[@rillyjo5810]

So what did you expect?

[@davidkhai]

It not to be as developed as it was, and the food was amazing which I didn’t expect because you don’t really hear much about Laos food compared to it’s neighbours

[@ເຫ້ລກຫລມ້ຈຈູຮາດ]

To me It doesn't matter the surroundings environment has have changed. It just how the retaliation of the country under the Communist rules that twisted and effect the living.

Lol I love people who sound Asian Australian/UK/American. The world is a diverse place and that's amazing. Even people who speak with an accent. It's cool because learning languages at an older age is tough!
