[@Vinnie101a]

Fascinating glimpse into a different world.

[@leephom5499]

The little girl has such a cute personality

[@EllisWR]

Looks beautiful mate! We set off to check out all these places but didn't even make it to the petrol station in Savannakhet before some moron smashed us off our motorbike from behind!!!

[@NowinLao]

Ya kidding! You guys ok!? No doubt on their bloody phone!

[@EllisWR]

@@NowinLao Worst part was it was a motorbike no idea what he was bloody doing! Was a while back luckily OK just ended up destroying my lady's ring and I have a big scar on my arm to remember Lao forever. You really do the country justice with these videos.

[@jakesaen7263]

Man why ppl not subscribed more to this channel? It deserved every bit of it Keep it up Todd 💪

[@NowinLao]

Yeah, I don't know what the answer is Kong.. the channel has been in a slow decline for a few months now. Maybe it's my rough head or accent.. but I won't be changing for anybody. Thanks, I appreciate your support 🙏

Nice videos

[@mtnmandeluxe5429]

Hi Brother! Lao never fails to surprise and delight,,,just like our Mina-bug. Omg that old temple was amazing,,Rotay Pidok,,the library was mind blowing! What a design. Good thing most designers arent as good as those old boys otherwise we'd never get rid of shitty old stuff. Stuff made of natural things,,ie. rock and wood. In the States,,,there are a handful of old buildings back east that are that old and in the desert in New Mexico there are a few buildings left from the 1500s. I love those old buildings too,,some pueblos built by the Natives and some buildings in Santa Fe built by the Spaniards probably originally built in that style by the Moors of N. Africa. Made from mud bricks and plastered with more mud,,fairly high maintenance,, replastered about every 2 years to keep the cracks under control. In Spanish,,Adobe. Have friends in New Mexico that live in an adobe house from the 1880s,,walls over 20 inchs which in hot country,,never need A.C. and not too much heat. Mud is a great insulator as opposed to the grand and glorious style from ( Merry Olde England) built from stone. That stuff is a freezer,,always cold. Was a great video,,very interesting! Tell Mina her Uncle Marlon loves her and is proud of her for how well shes adapted to school. Take care buddy,,Ttyl,,,Marlon

Nice of you stopping to help the grandmother and giving cookies to young girl. Market was right size for village. Monkeys always so Entertaining. Have nice travels Todd Neenee and adorable Mina .

Thanks Todd

[@mitchhumlao]

All the monkeys we have been around were nice eni=ough when getting foos can turn dangers in a heart beat.

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Savannakhet has a whole different feel than other parts of Laos. It's beautiful. The monkeys are cute. Particularly the mother with her baby A question I have to ask and I might already know the answer. Are there different dialects in each region of Laos ? Slang words? How are you coming along with the language Todd? Hope you guys are doing ok. Be Well! Stay Healthy ! Jim and Harriet . Richmond, Va.

[@fedesetrtatio1]

In Australia we call it longans.

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Longan - Dimocarpus longan, commonly known as the longan and dragon's eye, is a tropical tree species that produces edible fruit. It is one of the better-known tropical members of the soapberry family Sapindaceae, to which the lychee and rambutan also belong

[@americoestrada2355]

My goodness mate. You left Her Hanging while she started Reading. Right around 15 minutes into the video and. 10 seconds.😢 I wanted to hear what she was Reading.

[@Murph945]

Apparently I heard that human beings eat more bananas than Monkeys. It wasn't a surprise because personally I have never eaten a Monkey. 😂

[@NowinLao]

Awww Terry.. 🫣

[@davidburrows7508]

G'day Todd, love your videos and Lao, haven't been there for about 10 years, but want to get back. I've noticed the changes in a couple of places that I went to back in the day. I noticed your Canon camera that you take the black and white pictures the other day, could you please provide the model number, as I'm thinking getting back into photography now that I'm retired. @burrod54

[@NowinLao]

Hey David, yeah Laos is changing very quickly. Camera.. Fujifilm X100T from about 2015. The latest of this camera was the X100V 👌
