Laos (2019) | Is Thakhek the NEW VANG VIENG?? | The New Travel Destination in Laos

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Wow! we did the Thakhek loop one year ago and it seems a bit different already! It's been developing, i can tell. Agree, that whole area can rival with Vang Vieng and with those amazing landscapes are a perfect destination for families, couples, friends and even solo travellers! i just hope it doesn't become too much "party place". keep the calm and respect the nature!

[@NowinLao]

I just hope they can learn to pick their rubbish up. It is a beautiful place indeed. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

@@NowinLao agree! rubbish it's kinda of a common problem in many SEA countries...

[@LaoSoftware]

@@LifetimeTravelmates Hopefully, we will learn that rubbish is pollution and damaging our planet. We need to tell each other to pick it up and throw it away responsibly.

Another good video mate!

[@NowinLao]

Cheers thanks 👍

[@0nly5mins]

Their is Khoun Kong Leng Lake and other like Khoun kea... in Khammouane they're still under development. They plan to make that Lake much beautiful and more activity for tourist attraction. I hope you can check it out some time. bvtw Nice video, keep it up.

[@cdnsk12]

Check out Kong Lor Cave east of Thakhek. it is a 7.5 km cave c/w long tail boat trip under a mountain. Really a great trip that I did in 2011.

[@NowinLao]

For sure. Planning to go back to that area when we have more time ✌

[@agentmmarts3059]

Great scenarios there Khun Todd. Great shows.

[@true1singhavara843]

Welcome to Thakhek. y'all have fun. That is my home town thakhek.

[@zachdigweed5012]

Hi, how long is it from Vientiane?

[@NowinLao]

Thank you Saysana, we will definitely be back 👌

[@NowinLao]

Hey Zach..if we had drove straight there without any other diversions it would've taken about 6-7 hours I think

[@true1singhavara843]

[@timleng4404]

I was there in 2007. A lot has changed since. Nice vdeo. Thanks

[@NowinLao]

I bet it has. Most if Laos is changing so quick now 😏

[@VideoAssociates]

Love those high mountain peaks... amazing

[@asiaexpat62]

The Third Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge has changed Nakhon Phanom so Thakkeh will surely grow into a tourist location. With the airport at Nakhon Phanom it is very easy to get there from Thailand.Scheduling a trip soon.

[@tprada8711]

Mate thanks for sharing we were there 2009 a lot have change very touristy now 👍🙏

[@gruntfactory1745]

Another great Vlog, thanks Todd. Same as you it’s such a disappointment that there is so much rubbish around, it really spoils such a great spot. With you on the elephant rides, time to see them gone. Keep these great sites of Laos coming in. Cheers 👍😀.

[@NowinLao]

Hey Wayne, thanks for the feedback mate. 👍

Nice..!!

[@leechuang9630]

Sabaidee, Todd & Nee nee . Nice cave but power went out? ( did you get any discounts after what happened, Todd? ) . Tha Falang is a nice spot but charging people like that and rubbish on the ground don't look that nice any more, isn't it? . Like it der! Cheers! 😂 😈 😤 Pai la

[@NowinLao]

I really wanted to swim Lee 😏 Yeah, it was a mess mate. They really need to get on top of their rubbish issue, and yes, big turn off them charging so much....very greedy at that spot

[@leechuang9630]

Thanks for your reply Todd. Cheers! 😂 😈 😤 Pai la der

[@pfg333]

I enjoy watching your videos, starting to seriously think about giving Thailand a miss and coming to Laos. By the way has anyone told you your a dead ringer for Dennis Hopper.

[@NowinLao]

Haha Dennis Hopper ay...Nope, youre the first.

[@gordo191]

yeah i agree thai baht is to strong . i spent a month in Cambodia but they use us dollars even worse . i should went to laos.

[@pfg333]

@@gordo191 I never really liked Cambodia, it seemed like a poorer version of Thailand. I've still got some counterfeit Dollars from my last trip there.

People have to learn how to litter trash.

[@sssf85k]

Most they can do is burn it. There is no sanitation companies unless you visit the big three cities - Vientuane, Luang Prabang, and Pakse. Only thing I have seen is recycling the of Beer Laos bottles when I visited Savannakhet.

[@seuthphimmakaysone5113]

To litter trash is common sense,people have to respond to do it.

[@kunjidee]

Sure...tell the world so they can come ruin it...

[@LaoSoftware]

These third world countries don't have the education about pollution. Here in the USA, we are taught to take care of our planet. It is our duty to teach these poor countries that rubbish is not good for the environment and tourism.
