10:04 What a view and how cool seeing that squirrel up there!

[@donaldthomas7753]

Mina's love for study and school puts a smile on my face. As a retired teacher, I wish all children shared her enthusiasm. Big Loop E 6 not too rainy, be here for Big Loop E 7. Cheers, Todd!

[@martinrooney9215]

To see how happy Mina is now is amazing. You are great people. ❤

[@Macjohn1419]

As always, a brilliant video. They saw you coming, mate. You paid and tipped for the short trip. Great views from the mountain top, but you couldn’t get me up there, even in my younger days. I’m not afraid of heights, it’s just the instability of the walkway and stairs. Mina is growing like a weed😊 Always like to see her smiling and happy. NeeNee is looking as lovely as ever. Stay healthy and safe, always. Cheers mate.

[@AnneMareeDonoghue]

Stunning view, so peaceful, thanks for all the climbing, well worth sharing the beauty of Lao.

[@kennethwalker4701]

WOW!...That was some hike Todd lol😊😅!

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

10:20 ... You are really brave to climb up there. I'm pritty heavy and probably wouldn't dare go zhat high on these thin planks

[@sonyatranhao3852]

Wow beautiful view great hiking ❤️

[@graemeaylward8313]

You are unbelievably fit Todd to make it to the top with that rickety view point. I would have died after the first set of steps. Absolutely worth the sacrifice that you made on our behalf, as the view from the top was stunning. Thank you so much. I love the way in which the limestone has been eroded by wind and rain to produce some amazing shapes. The guesthouse is so cheap for the room that you got, although I suspect it would be a lot more than that in high season. Once again, thank you for sharing. God bless you all 😀❤🙏

[@peterdelage6759]

It is in my bucket list for next time I’ll go in Laos , last time I did the Bolaven plateau loop in 12 days and not in 2 or 3 days like many young backpackers I met. They are backpacking the south east Asia during one year and there are missing so many beautiful things

[@Walk-retirement-travel]

Nice hike. Loved the Marshall Tucker Band background music

[@davesbikelife]

Great video buddy as always and I liked the view from the top of that viewpoint. Seeing all the insects flying around your head and that little squirrel nice one buddy 🇬🇧👍🏽👍🏽

[@apolloorosco6852]

Nice tunes

[@Arctic_Traveller]

Good Day Todd, the scenery is something worth risking a cardiac arrest to see.😉 Your breath taking climb reminded me the time I was sight seeing at the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan Province , China, where what seemed to be infinite climb up stone steps in humidity of a Finnish sauna, I honestly thought my heart and lungs were going to explode, the locals breezed passed me like I was standing still. 😂 I can definitely understand your love and dedication to the country and towards the peoples of Laos. When compared to Thailand , Laos is definitely the better value tourist destination. / Al

[@LVslots60]

Sabidee thank you for having Laos au KZbin channel. I would love so much more if you would go to Pakse ( where I grew up) please 🙏🙏

[@NowinLao]

[@shaungooch1766]

That's a pretty good view of Nam Thurn mate! thanks for that 😅 I did a bit of work on Nam Thurn 1....... Nam Thurn 2 is meant to be a looker but I would say its all under water right now. Have a google for pictures of Nam Thurn 2 hydro dam

[@ewengillies9826]

Glad it was you doing the climb mate thanks for the spectactular shots of the views around the mountain. That little girl is the best salesperson you've ever encountered Todd she's got your measure every time all you've gotta do is try and justify it to yourself .. lol. Cheapest long necks I've seen in ages. Take care safe travels. Bushyboy Oz

[@saigongriffin]

Awsome. We will have to do that loop in our next trip to Lao.

[@NowinLao]

Many interesting places and great food along this route Asia. When is your next trip?

[@MrKeith57]

The "Big Loop" is an epic miniseries.

[@spirittaos]

Good job mate, I like it when you go off road

[@LimitedShed]

Amazing view you shared with us Mate......

[@bjoernandersen8287]

Hello Sabaidee. Your Laos language skills are really getting better.

[@mtnmandeluxe5429]

That trail definitely needs a rebuild,,your guts were big,mate! Lol but omg ,,what a view❤

[@shawnsamuel3149]

Wow. Good on you

[@JWnFlorida]

It's always a great video.

[@BounlevaSenesomboun-hu2tj]

Great video tod

[@gavreynolds2689]

So Todd I have to ask what was the bigger thrill, the view at the top or the thought that any step could be your last? 😅😅

[@BadMedizin]

❤👍👍👍🙏

[@XECUTA2]

I’ll take the Jordan hat

[@CaptainKremmen]

Think would it would have been like for whoever built those steps!

[@BrentHiggins01]

In my opinion, the best name for a Long-neck, is a "King Brown". Predominately Indigenous but there's something about "King Brown" that seems so Aussie.

[@tomhancock5160]

Hey Todd, have a look at the osmo action 4 a way better choice. Have a look at the comparison between the two cameras. Cheers

[@Wapiman]

What kind of a Boy Scout? Well, you weren't prepared for rain when you went up to the Viewpoint.😉

[@meksavanhmanivong2493]

👍👍👍👈you are fit Todd! They could do build better footbridge needs heavy duty steel mesh screws into !

[@nesmith777]

Todd, that ladder assembly doesn't look all that safe. LOL I can see it all falling apart in one piece. And those planks are rotted and could fall apart at any time.

[@NowinLao]

That adds to the excitement 👍

[@jimriggs9621]

Girls love to shop😂😂 it's in their DNA❤❤🙏🙏

[@davidburrows7508]

G'day Todd, I have recently watched a doco on SBS about an archealogical dig very close to the Mekong, in fact I think that the said they had found ancient holes for posts right on the banks of the river at low water. They found some gold religious items buried close to the river bank and said they could have been linked to the Kymer empire. They climbed the mountain behind the find which had religious dieties on top of the mountain, but no ladders or stairs to get to the top, in fact the climb looked pretty advanced. the mountain behind the river is Lingaparvata Mountain, I think. Have you been to that part of the Mekong and can you reference a video if you have been. Looking forward to your response. Keep up the good work. maybe when get to Newcastle, for Christmas, you can organise a get together for subscribers.

[@NowinLao]

Sorry David, I don't recognize the name of that river. Did it say a province or closest city?

[@davidburrows7508]

@@NowinLao The river is the Mekong river, there is a temple close to the river, Wat Phu, and the mountain is behind the temple.

[@NowinLao]

To find videos in my library, go to the video section on my channel and you will see the search icon 🔎 just above the videos. Search for words there like "Wat Phu" and this video and others will come up for you and anymore that are related. We've been to Wat Phu twice.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXellGqIbsuJbZIsi=-Sobab9NA-_ksHIu

[@terranceyeo3087]

hi guys

[@tommynickxaisongkham]

Todd how much do u spend on petrol ⛽️ per month or per trip???

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

Next challenge for Todd. Climb Mount Everest. Mina in the store reminded me of my daughter when she was about Mina's age. She asked for something. I told her she had to buy it with her allowance money. She decided not to get it.

[@duncanstirling6643]

Wow I am 58 I don't know if i could do it

[@pakc6949]

🍺

[@rhysypoo]

How good would a big zip line from the top of that mountain be back to your hotel or a nice big slide? Lol

[@Bobwa2008]

Walking up stairs is a hell of a lot harder than walking on a trail up hill. 🥵

[@PeterC245]

You’re correct on that , as I have found out

[@vgshwk]

You dont want to take a slip on those stairs like Mina did the other day.

[@visioncreator1021]

vang vieng $160 us a month

[@PeterC245]

I’m 69 and can out walk my Cambodian girlfriend aged 45 easily, But climbing 300 stairs to a temple is a different kettle of fish, as she weighs 45kg , I’m 110 kg , Its power to weigh ratio i think

[@cyrilpeterlee1]

Haha. Power to weight and model also counts.

[@allisgood4648]

Well done!!
