A great vid Todd and Neenee. I had a average day at work today but you've cheered me up! Thanks 👍

[@michaelmalone3346]

Nice job! Felt like I was walking along in LPB until I bumped my head on the screen trying to get a sip of Carlsberg. Broke the spell. Have always loved the beer hostesses. All-time favorite is the old Beerlao uni: Traditional Lao skirt and blouse with a beauty pageant sash. Classic!

[@antruok4950]

Gotta luv local markets , reasonable size , so much produce and food - obviously no tourists , but enjoyed how quiet it was - Carlsberg and local food - winner 🇦🇺💪🙏👍🍻 - Ok I’m jealous

[@NowinLao]

Was a good night 🍺😁👍

[@saschab.7154]

Todd s eating... Suprise, Suprise... 😁 Looks yummie...

[@kevinthailand2567]

Been loving LPB for quite a few years but don't think I have seen that first market before. Definitely more local than the ones behind the temple between the river. Very interesting. Was wonderful you walked up to the monks chanting in temple as that has so many amazing memories there for me. Be sure come back first full moon in October for the lantern festival. Cheers mate

[@jamesmathers6204]

Good to see them keep the bananas with the squirrel. I mean they do go well together

[@gordo191]

Its certainly a lot busier there then what I have seen in patong

[@agentmmarts3059]

Happy New month Farrang Todd.

[@MrPaulnkrissy]

I’m Hmong-American. When my parents answer their phones they also say hello, but then they see people in person they say “nyob zoo”. I guess I never realized that until you brought it up.

[@jennymark7403]

Love the background music as U entered the temple ,one day all of this will be alive again, I'll be there buying everything haha shopaholic but I love to bargain like in Thai can U do that over there, ur rubbing it in , nice good cold beer yum

[@NowinLao]

In good times it's expected to haggle... during these times i usually let them get away with it. ❤

[@jtns2845]

hello thanks for another pleasant day and night market tour. have you noticed any inflation of food and other prices over the past few months due to the flu and border closures? what were the 7 for k4000 fritters? i notice chinese language store signs. are the shop owners or customers, or both, chinese? phat ka phao sandwich sounds delicious. “carlsberg ain’t too bad,” as the charming beer lady smiles and pours. indeed. cheers.

[@phetindra8216]

18:40 Spoon, Todd, spoon 😃. Now just curious, so many time already in Luang Phabang, are you able to distinguish the "sound" of LPB speaking and Neenee's one (typical Vientiane)? The LPB "sound" is unique, no continuum with other parts of Laos.

[@jurgentreue1200]

The Luang Prabang dialect is the same as spoken in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in Thailand. I believe it's also influenced by Burmese.

[@phetindra8216]

@@jurgentreue1200 No, just I said before, LPB sound is unique. In the first half of the 16th century Lan Na (Xiang Mai and Xiang Hai, that days) had no heir. In 1548 they asked the Lan Xang king, Chao Xaysettha, to rule their kingdom too (due to the fact that his mother was a Xiang Mai princess, Princess Yotkhamtip). Because of the huge menace from the Taungoo Empire (Burma that days) Xaysettha took over what he could from Lan Na, people, culrural goods (amongst them the wonderful Emerald Buddha Phra Keo) and migrated to the East bank of the Mekong river. Lan Na lost their independance for ever in 1556, first to Bamars, after that to Rattanakosin (Thailand today). The Lan Na people raised a town in the middle, exactly in the middle of Lan Xang that days, and called it Vientiane. In 1573 the town had been proclaimed the capital of the kingdom by the king who became Chao Xaysetthathirat. To memorise their Lan Na's legacy they built a wonderful and glamorous stupa, the That Luang, the Royal Stupa (yes, his monument is in the front of the stupa). In the beginning of the 18th century the family line of the king ended, the former royal families in LPB wanted the throne back to their city. It was obvious that could'nt do which led to the end of the kingdom. In 1707 the Lan Xang kingdom after three and a half centuries existence collapsed. First into 2 kingdoms, Vientiane and Luang Phabang, later with Champasak (why the three-headed elephant in the old flag). Today we can see the descendants of that days Lan Na people in two places, the free ones in Vientiane and the deported ones in the Upper Burma (definitely bamarised today). My mother came from an old LPB family, my father thus from Vientiane (his grandfather was one amongst many who sneaked back from the exile in Thailand and rebuilt the town which had been destroyed to the roots by Thai Siam in the beginning of the 19th century after the Chao Anouvong's uprising failed). I had been raised in VT, at home I used to speak with LPB sound due to the mother, but oustside only with VT sound. I hope this would help you understand why the Vientiane sound, not LPB, is almost the same as the "Kham Meuang" language speaking in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai today. Btw, we don't call different way of our talking "dialects", just "sound" (Sieng). Thais call it "Samneang". That's because we all express the same words (monosyllabic) but with different melodies, sometimes with different tones. The Central Thai would be a Tai dialect due to the mixed Mon-Khmer, Sanskrit and Chinese (35%, 15% and 6%).

[@josephjocson1385]

You guys are lucky still have bazaars... Here in Philippines not allowed sir

[@jurgentreue1200]

Carlsberg has a stake in Beerlao, I think round 40%. Carlsberg is brewed in the Vientiane Beerlao factory for the South East Asian market. I visited the Beerlao factory around 2009. Beerlao at that time had four lines operating. When I went to the factory only two lines were working, one Beerlao, the other Carlsberg. Carlsberg came in in around 1992. They first came in in an attempt to improve Beerlao but couldn't, so they left Beerlao alone.

[@NowinLao]

Great story, thanks mate 👌

Hi Todd. @7:24 Snails or periwinkles ? (Thanks Google translate for this word ;) )

How is Nee Nees restaurant doing ?

[@spizzenergi2292]

In Thailand I love the 20 baht shops, I could spend hours looking around. However there seems to be one common denominator when we get home and unload the car. We’ve bought a load of crap that either doesn’t work or we never use. Joy bought an olive pipper once. I don’t even like them.

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha yeah.. we do shit like that.

[@MrBreadman420]

I was ready to say good job on using the spoon, then you went back to the fork.

Lol.. well Neenee had lost hers, was helping her out 😝

[@lubpaj8111]

When you go to the markets, can you tell us how much the items are selling for? Thanks! :)

Can't wait to introduce jarick to Aussie fruit. Like plums... They don't get them here so can you imagine what he will be like with all that fruit he had never seen

How bout peaches or nectarines? Apricots! Cherries 🍒

[@pebtsevxeemthoj3391]

Why all their green veggies and stuff on the floor and uncover....Its dusty with dirt when people walk passed by....I wish they build their own table to place their sell item on instead lay on the ground.

[@NowinLao]

No different than the vegetables growing in or on the ground. Just wash them like everybody else.. 😏

[@samseignarack1089]

I imagine they're just poor farmers or small time traders. To cart or bus tables to the market each day would incur more costs.
