Retired ,recharged , roaming, and may be started your life over again. I was born and grew up in this country, LAOS. You feel good living in Lao while Laotians feel wonderful living in America.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Interesting point. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thumbs up 👍 Javier

I’m so happy for you to hear that you are more healthier while living in Laos. It’s true that almost everything is fresh in most markets in Laos. I’m just wondering if you have any children, I didn’t see them in any of your videos. Hope one day that I can retire in Laos too.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Hi Joe! Yes - can definitely tell the difference with all the organic, fresh food. You’re very observant! Fon and I do not have children of our own…but we do spend much of our time on the farm caring for our “grand-kids.” Our niece and nephews are grown…we have one grand-nephew that stays with us on weekends, and another that stays full time on the farm. You’ll see more of them in upcoming videos…Thanks for watching!

[@Schminner]

When you move to Laos, you grow healthier and younger.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Yes, it’s true!

[@pisathongsonlone3935]

The motherland is so beautiful thanks for sharing, even on days I don't feel like watching videos I'm here to support and put my likes. Thanks bro keep up the work!

[@LuvLaolife]

Thank you so much for making this video. I truly appreciate your honest opinion. I work for corporate America and it’s a constant stress to the point it’s affecting my life. Please keep your videos coming!

[@retire_recharge_roam]

@Luvlaolife - Hang in there, it gets better! It can be hard to filter out all the noise of daily life, but trust that all that slips away in time. I try to focus only on what I can control, and don’t worry about any of the rest. Thanks for watching!

[@LaoSoftware]

Dude, you're like a pioneer. You start a new life and build it. You live on social security funds and 401K .

[@johnmurryvlogs8603]

Excellent ❤

Thank you! Cheers!

Terrific!

I think one can do whatever you are doing in Laos in the US too. You can buy 100+ acres of emptied land in the mid-west and disconnect from the grid and live freely while still enjoying the abundance of services and convenience of living in the US. Cost of living might be the biggest reason one wants to move back to Laos/Thailand/Vietnam.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Good point. One of our biggest reasons was being closer to my wife’s family.

[@LaoSoftware]

The land is a lot cheaper than America. You can start fresh and build a nice homestead. Grow your own food and raise chickens for meat. Solar power for electricity. Install air conditioning.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Those are all great ideas. Thanks for the suggestions! Plenty of projects to work on...

[@richardly5419]

I'm glad you like Laos. How is life in Laos ? I hope some day I come to Laos will come to visit you if you don't mind.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Peaceful and quiet life.

I love your video, I too want to retire in Laos at least have a year.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

That’s great! Thanks for watching!

[@viexay]

It also changed your appearance. Damn, your starting to look alot more like Asian people. 😅😊 like khon Lao.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Maybe you’re right. Must be all that sticky rice! Thanks for watching!

[@andrewkue7895]

I was in Laos for 3 weeks, drank beer Lao everyday. Still lost 10 pounds. The processed food in America is really bad for the body!

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Haha. Yes, I’m sure even the Beer Lao is healthier in Laos.

[@kongmengmoua7781]

Im 42 and will be moving over there next year after our second child is born in the US. Im excited cause everything is authentic and organic there. You dont really see any overweight people over there due to the diet

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Congratulations on planning your big move! Best of luck to you…sok dee!

[@Creativegardenideasandmore]

Great video. Keep them coming! Does the government of Laos allow foreigners to own land and build your own house there?

[@retire_recharge_roam]

As far as I know, foreigners can not own land in Laos. We live with my wife’s family, on the family farm. Thanks for watching!

[@Creativegardenideasandmore]

@@retire_recharge_roamOk. That makes sense. Thank you for the quick response. Enjoy your new relaxing life in Laos!

[@59phoryaphychannel26]

That is very nice piece of land you have there where is at

[@retire_recharge_roam]

We’re about an hour outside of Vientiane, in Pak Ngum area. 🙏

[@xiongmoua2689]

Hello sons we're very proud that you are got to move to lao!! It is very good but can you tell more that who you're are you are a Hmong? Or lao? Or what is yours kinda

[@retire_recharge_roam]

I'm originally from America, and my wife is originally from Laos. We moved here in 2023 after living ~20 years in the US. Thanks for watching!

[@johnnybgood3724]

It is good that you are in Laos right now. US is turning into a hell hole. Criminals are roaming free, and homeless people are everywhere. You can always come back if Laos doesn't work out for you and your wife.

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Thanks for sharing!

@@johnnybgood3724 criminal is everywhere.

[@johnnybgood3724]

@keosae2464 yes, criminals are everywhere around the world, but US is turning into a hell hole.

[@chung388]

How much u bought that land for and how many acre.. thnks

[@retire_recharge_roam]

Size of land is about 1.5 hectares, and original asking price ~10 years ago was about $35K USD. Prices for land now are all over…depends on location, proximity to utilities/roads, etc…
