[@NowinLao]

[@philinfinity8780]

I am enjoying these travel vlogs Todd immensely.Keep them coming.

[@NowinLao]

Awesome, plenty more to come Phil!

[@KennoRob]

Another beaut village.How's that hardware type shop ( awesome). That was a great little comercial sector ( street). I love the street walks ,always fascinating and even surprises for Todd.... Don't know what to expect around the next corner . Don't ever stop those street walks.,.An added bonus for an over-view,is the drone. PS .. I will mention again ,the location maps..thumbs up mate... Great stuff,thank you, Cheers...Kenno..West Aust

[@lightgearwire]

Very nice, hope to do this when travel opens. 👍

[@mtnmandeluxe5429]

Hey my Bro,,magnificent drone shots! What a gorgeous area. The kids take the cake.what happy little girls,,trying soooooo hard to communicate with you. Very expressive kids.the kids afraid of the monster farang were funny as all hell.loveD ThE Hardware store. If all else fails with the kids,,pack a pocket full of condoms,,pass em out and tell em they're balloons. Lmao Sorta expensive balloons though. Hope you guys are staying safe. I teased Neenee about nearly tipping over while dancing with girls at Saint Philo. Come to think of it,,you were getting kinda shiny faced lolol.. Stay safe ,Todd,,Ttyl,,,Marlon

On the river view, I dug the birds just tweeting away like they didn't have a care in the world:) Great stuff, Todd.

[@michaelmalone3346]

[@jennymark7403]

[@martynbush]

This is how rural Thailand was about 20 years ago where I did several long bike tours mostly around the Isaan region in the early 2000's.

[@Yvonmoua]

Hi Mr. Chevrolet Pickup truck made in USA. I missed my country Laos too!

[@GrohlNovoselic]

Friendly reminder when driving north.. just stick into your lane when cornering.. I saw many head-on collision especially at the curve.. nice video aii Todd👍

[@NowinLao]

There is only 1 lane 😏

[@GrohlNovoselic]

@@NowinLao hahahahahahahaha.. 1 lane in foreigner eyes.. massive respect to big truck driver survived northern route

Beautiful People Beautiful Countryside,I want to be back to Muang Hiem Hot Spring and Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area in Northern is covering 5,959 km2. The park consists mainly of mountains and hills with altitude ranging between 336 and 2257 metres above sea level. It is named after the Nam Et River and Phou Louey Mountain in Muang Hiem Houaphan Province Laos

Summer is well and truly here aircon is pumpin watchin a one dayer between Australia and India , Its going to be 40 deg 2morro , phew

[@NowinLao]

Hope the fridge is stocked mate 🍺

[@jacobpayton4390]

Maybe play some loation music in you blogs m8 am enjoying the Aussie slang ( Rudy nudie ) 😆😆 any chance you might go to southern loa ??

[@ericeverson5956]

How was the air up in the mountains? Love the kids. They were funny:)

[@jamesmathers6204]

Same here mate - each barangy has a wet/ dry market. The people form the villiages bring their wares for sale or trade. SOme of them barely see the 'civilisation' of town in Tagbilaran. Unfortunately some people take advantage and buy from them at home cheap. Then they come to the markets with a huge mark up.

[@allanrab]

you're killing me here, Todd. you even stayed in the same guesthouse in Muang Hiam. If i see you eating at the same restaurant by the river...

[@NowinLao]

Lol.. we'll see 🙄

[@philipstyles8136]

Hey Todd, have been watching your weekly videos, great scenery and always friendly people. I get corrected many times as my Lao is not very good. The word for "I" is similar to another word which can be rather challenging 😁. Love those hardware shops, and yes your knife was a find. Can't wait until you get to the Communist Caves to see what you think. $15 Aud for a room 👍 I'm missing Laos, Melbourne has just achieved 28 days of Zero Covid so hopefully I'll be in Laos early next year when they open up the Lao borders. Take care you and Neenee. Phil

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha always getting that word wrong 😝 The village surrounding the caves blew me away! Man, I bet you can't wait to return! Hang in there mate, hopefully it won't be too much longer now. Take care Phil 👍

[@BendigoHydroblasting]

Hey Todd, Craig here from Bendigo. Quick question and perhaps a whole new video. How the hell and how long did it take to get NeNe to wear a seatbelt in the car? My wife has no problem listening to the car beep for 2 minutes before it gives up. The 4 hunj fine when she is in Aus is an incentive but in Lao it all goes out the window 🤔

[@NowinLao]

You're right, probably a whole new video. Will add it to one mate 👌

[@stevewhittaker5070]

Great journey we really enjoyed it and your enunciation is getting better hahaha. It seems Lao and Thai are interchangeable almost. Is it less expensive to buy things there instead of other countries around there. Maybe you guys can help us with the exchange rate... anyway thanks again. Stay safe. From the US

[@NowinLao]

Hey Steve.. yeah sorry about not converting the kip to dollars, i usually do, but slipped up this time. Lao is usually a little more than it's surrounding neighbours for anything that is imported due to being a land locked country. Anything locally grown or produced is very competitive if not cheaper than it's neighbours...Plus, the best god damn beer in ALL of S.E.Asia 🍺😋👍 Glad you're enjoying the vids mate, lots more of this trip to come 👌

[@stevewhittaker5070]

@@NowinLao thanks for the info

[@wallywombat164]

Now there's a word i haven't heard for a looong time, Dinky, dinkey, even forgot how to spell it.

[@arrrlo9738]

Todd- did you drive from VTE to all over Northern Laos? I want to do that too, any suggestions or recommendations?

[@NowinLao]

Yes. Allow yourself plenty of time, and be patient. Very patient. Do NOT book accommodation in advance.. you may not arrive on time. Plus, there's no need to book ahead. We've never been left without accommodation at night. Also... DO NOT drive at night on these roads. Far too dangerous.

[@Untamedlove]

How Far North are you going ?

[@NowinLao]

Hi David.. we are going Sam Neua then onto Muang Et, Sop Bao with our main destination being the "Communist caves". Vieng Xai. Capital for the Pathet Lao during the secret. Thanks for asking mate 👍

[@Untamedlove]

@@NowinLao ....Have Safe Travels...

[@jetandjack5194]

I have a perfect guide for you to meet in Muang Et , the world famous Aunty Ang he/she can show you all that Muang Et has to offer . Houaphan whiskey , do not take the infused one .is her specialty . in all seriousness I can hook you up and they would be grateful to enhance your cultural experience , and they would be a show all to themselves . Let me know it really is worth your while . Prefect for a night or day out .

[@NowinLao]

@@jetandjack5194 if only we were still in the area. Editing these videos do take a while, and we returned from up north over a month ago. We are heading to the Xaysomboun area next, long Cheng. Don't know any characters there by any chance?? Cheers 🙏

[@billsimpson2392]

22:25 And you wouldn't wont to sit on it either mate.... If you did you'd have a "Cacked Ass" !!!

[@alickak8346]

why dont you teach those kids English so that you have some people to speak to next time you visit..
