What Can $10 Get in LAOS? 🇱🇦

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Laos fun fact: Tam Pa Ling (Cave of the Monkeys) in northeastern Laos was the site of some important discoveries. In 2009, the cave turned up an ancient skull before offering an even older jaw bone (the oldest to be found in Southeast Asia) the following year. The jawbone, which is at least 46,000 years old, proves early hominids didn’t just migrate from Africa along coastlines, they followed inland rivers as well. Laos is a good friend of ours! We operate a few restaurants there where waitresses sing and dance in hanboks and serve hot pot, as well as a night market! Them managing to take their country for the people by overthrowing the kingdom in 1975 is admirable...it's ironic that the FRENCH who famously overthrew their own monarchy backed this monarchy against revolutionaries. Same for the Americans because they ironically kicked the British out of their own!

Welcome to Laos I have been following you for long time Tks for came to visit my country

We have Laos friends where we live in Canada, love that soup. I have also been to Laos about 14 years ago. Will go back again for sure. Beer Laos is one of the best beers too!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Yup, Laos is an underrated country! Neighboring Vietnam and Thailand get all the tourists, but Laos deserves some love! The sour fruits you ate are called hog plums from the genus Spondias. There are are different species of Spondias found in Asia and the Americas but the one found and cultivated throughout Southeast Asia is Spondias pinnata. They're sometimes called a forest mango because they're related to mangoes in the same family Anacardiaceae. 1:14 The guy on the 100,000 kip you're holding is Kaysone Phomvihane who was the first General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party from 1955 to his death in 1992.

[@scottmcintire8634]

Nice video! Planning a trip this fall to Laos and am really looking forward to it. I’m working on an itinerary and for about 14 days in country, and from an agency I used for Vietnam that offers solo travelers local guides, drivers and lodging in the areas they provide for in the north, I’m thinking 4 days around Luang Prabang, 6 days around Phongsali and 4 days covering Vientiane, Phonsavon and Plain of Jars. The itinerary includes time on the Nam Ou River in the northeast, though I will see if they can provide service in the northwest area that you visited, as I am particularly interested in the ethnic minority cultures. Cheers!

The Khao Soi is pretty much Lao's version of Pho from Vietnam.

Totally wrong, they are Totally different. Pho is a beef noodle soup. Ka soy is made from pork and red curry oil noodle soup. That’s like saying apples and oranges are the same

Would u try rat meat? Curious, I'm very open minded trying new stuff but got scared seeing report of people getting pretty sick after trying some dishes from countries around the world, like Thailand and India for example. Those brown round fruit looking like lychee are called longan in Mauritius! It's so good!! It's a bit like lychee but better I recommend you all try ;)

[@somphaonamnakhone6801]

If you lived in USA, $10 you can't buy even a noodles soup, the noodles soup in the USA right now at my city it cost $14 and add more tips. If drink ice coffee it should spend over $20.

[@maxfalter7039]

Do the people in Laos speak Thai? Cause it sounds so similar to Thai.

They speak Lao in Laos. The Lao language is pretty similar to Thai in vocabulary and grammar mostly because the two languages are from the Kra-Dai language family.
