LAOS Road Trip: Amazed by the BEAUTY of Laos 🇱🇦

After arriving in Thakhek, central Lao, we set off early in the morning to get a head start on our EPIC road trip. In the last video, we started in the capital of Laos, Vientiane and made our way to Thakhek, from which we will do the Thakhek loop and then drive down to Pakse.
After spending a day in Thakhek planning the route and where to stay, we are ready to head towards our next destination, Thalang. Along the first part of the Thakhek Loop, we see some gorgeous landscapes, have some yummy food, and enjoy the journey for exactly what it is! Our car has been the most fantastic choice, and Bertie the Beast isn’t lacking today either - what an amazing way to start this road trip properly! Laos has so many beautiful landscapes!

Ep.7 with Bertie 😍 hahaha love how you give them a name 👊 The first cave from the next episode is for sure way better then this one, oops i first watched Ep.8 begore this, it was mixed up in the playlist for a random reason 🤔 The second cave is huge and has some boats, tip from me. If you ever plan on travelling to europe island Mallorca, visit the famous Drach Caves, you will have a boat trip.insode and it is spectacular, at least my opinion 🤫 Anyhow less go on to the next one, or better straight to Ep.9 C Ya two, cheers 🙌🍻🍹

I got lost in a cave in Laos, which was especially ironic because the one thing my mom told me before leaving to solo backpack Southeast Asia was not to go into any caves 😂

Hahaha no way!! Don't go on that boat then 😅

i think this loop will bring you to "muang suey" เมืองสวย then you may visit "plain of jars" ทุ่งไหหิน from plain of jars you can drive to phupiang fah junction ..... on this route you will see the scenic point .... this place is very very very beautiful. when you pay ask them if they want baht ..... this way you dont need to keep "kib".

Any chance of downloading a Laos/English dictionary or app?

Yes! Google translate usually works pretty well, but sometimes we come across people that cannot read, and we don’t know how to pronounce things properly! 🤗

Great easy to follow vlog👍🏻 If I may ask, where did you hire the car from, and are their any out of the norm issues to be considered? when renting a vehicle?

[@2Passports1Dream]

We didn’t really have to consider anything other than we definitely needed a larger vehicle than what we are used to in order to handle the roads (many pot-holes)… there’s a link in the description where we booked the car from!

[@jakesi8170]

Thank you both of you for visiting my homeland. Hoping to get back there soon to teach my Lao people English to better accommodate tourists.

[@RAIVISODINS]

Hello guys! Very pleased to watch your videos about trip in Laos. I just came bact home from there. Loved Luang Prabang on Lao New Year. You should try Luang Prabang Beef and Pork sausages, they cannot be bouth elswhere. You need to try pork barbecue, Tam noodle, Ping Baa. I had sticky rice every day 😋😋😋 Love Laos and will be going back soon.

Xieng-Lieb pronounces as “Xieng: See-Ang Lieb: Lee-Ab”. X uses as an S. Thanks for your great video. It’s French spelling. If the roads are good, then Laos might attract more foreign tourists.
