Affordable. I think it was about $600 for a two week rental from the airport last I checked. I was wondering if the length of the trip could be cut in half if the infrastructure was there? Like, would you and Nene travel after sundown to get to your destination instead of stopping when you had to/when weather permitted? Excellent set of vids Todd. Keep'em coming.

[@NowinLao]

With infrastructure like you're talking about, you would not even see the real Laos. All the interesting villages and people are to be found between the destinations. It's like the new Vientiane to Vang Vieng expressway. It only takes a bit over an hour now.... but all those markets and villages, sugar cane and cassava chip vendors, roadside forest markets, farmers and buffalo ploughing fields. All the sights you never see elsewhere, you miss all that now. You miss the real Laos. Also, why travel into the night? Why not stop and explore a village while you still have light. If i did not have the time to do this whole trip, i would make it a shorter trip but go at the same pace. All the interesting stuff happens when you get out of your car, not staying in it 👌 Thanks for coming along Will. We have a great new adventure for you to come along on 😋👍

Excellent conclusion to your northern trip series! Had the good forune to travel parts of northern Loas by bicycle 10 years ago with a wonderful friend who has a great sense of adventure and curiosity. Your daily video reports kept me coming back for more because you showed the beauty of the country and its people. Great work! I especially enjoyed how the drone captured the magnificence of the landscape. The final minutes of this video were breathtaking. Thanks for sharing, it brought back many memories and provided new insight to all that is Laos.

Brother Todd: $618.00 for 2 person travel from Vientiane to Muang Et and to Viang Xai come back to Vientiane? That was very cheaper, Back to year 2017 I went to Phonesavan for week by Air plane and back to Vientiane I was spent over $2.000.00.

[@LaoSoftware]

No need to be jealous. When you have the time and money, you can travel and see the world. Maybe buy a house in Laos and live in paradise.

[@NowinLao]

Ah yes. Yet even those are very minimal. View point climbs are usually 10,000 kip ($1 US) The waterfall entries 20,000kip ($2 US) I think the caves in Viang Xai were the most expensive at, i think, 40,000 ($4 US) for foreigner and 10,000kip for local... but all these come down to the individual, similar to snacks and souvenirs. For those interested, the zip lining at the very tall waterfall was only $20 US 👌

Hi, started watching your videos a few weeks ago when the algorithm popped you up after watching mark wiens..lol..watched some of this series but need to catch the rest..you about right on with the costs, before the pandemic I use to visit almost every year..in the dry season (end of Oct. to around Feb. or March) you could get away with a 2 wd...a little toyota corolla size would cost half as much to rent...the car rental place at the airport generally have newer cars with more selection but Avis is slightly cheaper (have not rented from hertz)..the owner of the Avis place is an ex-pat too...for those that don't know all you need is a driver's license from your home country and a credit card to pay for the rental purchase and deposit (I believe it's $1,000 or maybe $2,000 been awhile) but they'll refund the deposit back to your credit card...keep up with the videos and when Laos opens back up i'll make sure to stop by the restaurant

The real cost of the travel to Laos from the US is the airfare. I picked a random week in May. I could fly from Los Angeles - Bangkok for under US$600. On the same dates, the flights into Vientiane was US$4500. I do not know if this was due to Covid-19. Both costs were surprising as LAX-BKK is usually around $900.

Would that be possible for someone who does not talk the local language, lao or tribe. If I did that, I could not do all the excursions you did, but I would not do them anyway going alone in a car, as I am not a used driver even on good roads...

Yeah, fair enough since you are talking weeks as opposed to months form backpackers in Australia. Once borders open, it might be an interesting business to get into.

[@gordo191]

Maybe a business opportunity here , instead of cars do like they do in Vietnam, they have bike trips going up and down from one end if Vietnam to the other, hire a local to be a guide. Go see a few hotels and restaurants ( and bars haa ) , you would have to invest in a few bikes say about four to start with , you could still run the restaurant , I know plenty of blokes in Aus , who do the Vietnam name trip , just a thought mate,

[@ericthornton5252]

I was thinking the same. Or a local couple with a big enough car or truck. Traveler pays for gas and hotel and a fee for their time. Either way it would be cheaper than the car rental.
