Our Shocking First Impressions of LAOS 2024 🇱🇦 Tourists Avoid This City (Vientiane)

[@Quaristice]

Deeply underrated city. Not necessarily because it’s packed with attractions, but the atmosphere is unmatched in the region. I’ve been to Vientiane five times since 2002 and I fall in love with it even more whenever I visit.

[@dabbleandtravel]

We have to agree!

I was in Laos last week with my 2 daughters. It was so chill that even the animals were chill. My high light was Vangvieng. We stayed at Amari Hotel with a magical views. Enjoy your Laos journey.

[@dabbleandtravel]

Wow bet that was amazing. We just posted Vangvieng & loved it! Hope you had a fab time!

[@viexay]

Nice. I'll be there in December 2024

another interesting place I like to know.specially their culture,tourism and food (street food in particular) to name a few.looking forward to the rest of your adventures there.

[@LonelyNPC]

Just coming back from Vientiane to Bkk this morning. Such a nice city very peaceful and people are chill. No crowded, food is really good and cheap. One thing is it's so hard to communicate in English.

[@hendrikschuur9755]

Was in Vientiane in January. Not my first visit to Laos and most certainly not my last. Love the place.

[@dabbleandtravel]

LAO is Fantastic and Amazing Situations and Very Important Country 💕💕💕🙏

[@sugreev2001]

It’s nice to see Laos and Cambodia finally developing. Haven’t been to either, but the entire Indochina region had a hard 20th century. Vientiane looks a pretty easy going capital, compared to the likes of Bangkok, Phnom Pehn and Ho Chi Minh city. I hope you do a food tour of the city.

[@Lalalalala98872]

Phnom Penh was one of the fastest growing cities in Indochina/Southeast Asia up until the Genocide and war (4 years + 10+ years) completely destroyed the momentum and urban planning that the city had going :( The Cambodian music and film industry was booming prior to the war, even screening internationally in Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Now that there's peace, Southeast Asia is rapidly advancing into this century :)))

[@richardcornel9003]

Matt, your shirt collection is getting extensive now. 😃😆😀 Good video. 👍 Cheers and stay safe. ❤

Thank you to the both of you for taking the time to do your research on the history of the country. This is what traveling around the world should be about. The appreciation of the places that you traveled to and not just about the glams.

Very well done video guys! Ive been living in laos since covid lockdowns got stuck, travelled through 70 % of the country , fell in love with a lass and just got married a week ago lol, so yeah we do love Laos for its peacefull pace

[@lifestylewiththanongsack7738]

Welcome to Laos and I hope both of you enjoy your journey

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Vientiane has it's charm. It's pretty chill if that's what you're looking for. It's so hot during the day. People go out at night to enjoy the night markets . Some of our favorite places are Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Xiangkhoang where the Plain of Jars are located. Best time to visit Lao is January/February during their New Year. Lots of fun things to do, such the boat races on the Mekong River. The Water Festival, The Rockets Festival. These are just a few events around that time of year. You guys just missed it. Hope you had a great time there. A return visit is a must for their New Year. All the best .Mates 👍👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki And go Chelsea !!

Wow you guys have done loads! Thanks for always watching & sending so much love!

Laos is the most bombed country in the world. The USA bombed it during the Vietnam War. It damaged the pristine jungles and killed many wildlife like elephants and tigers.

[@dabbleandtravel]

It sure is! Thanks for watching!

[@qwerty1000x]

Excellent video mates. As a Laotian, on behalf of the Lao people all over the world, I would like to thank you for visiting Laos. It's been almost 15 years since I have been back and I was not aware the population sky rocketed to nearly a million. I will be visiting summer of 2025 and will visit these sites that you have gone to.

Our pleasure!

Thank you!

[@andybaker2456]

Loved it! I'm guessing at some point you'll be heading to Luang Prabang? I was there last October, and absolutely fell in love with it! I did exactly the same as you and drew 77 quid's worth of Kip out of the ATM, it was fun being a multi millionaire for a few days! 😆

[@dabbleandtravel]

Of course!!!! We loved LP!!! And the £77 quid didn’t last that long for us 😂😂😂😂

[@andybaker2456]

@dabbleandtravel The funniest thing for me was when I went to buy a SIM card at the airport. I was quoted a price in thousands of Kip, and automatically thought that was too expensive and was going to wait to see if I could get one cheaper in town. But then I thought about it, and realised they were charging me about £1.60!! 😁

[@jurgentreue1200]

My wife and I are Australian. We lived in Vientiane 2007-2015. The food in Laos is amazing and the people wonderful. What Laos does well is bread, coffee and beer. That's three food groups covered. Naked Espresso was started by two brother, Billie and Bobbie. There's also a third brother, Kook. Billie and Bobbie are Australian university alumni, studied in Melbourne. I think there are now three Naked Espressos in Vientiane and one in Vang Vieng. The first one was away from the central business district in Rue Dongpayna and was fashioned in the Melbourne café style, and only very small. The original Naked Espresso just around the corner where we lived, so it was our 'local' café. There's a saying among the Vientiane café set. "See you naked?", meaning, I'll meet you at Naked Espresso. Patuxai is sometimes nick named 'Runway Number Two". It was built from 'hijacked' (some say stolen) concrete brought in to extend Vientiane airport. About the football shirts. Football is huge in Laos. It's not the national sport but the Lao loving playing. Most organisations, bigger businesses etc, even the services like the army and police field teams, who play among each other. Even the government ministries field teams. It's a strictly amateur/social competition. The Lao Army shirt you bought was probably made and printed for the army players and any left overs, or seconds find themselves at the markets.

It has changed. 30 years back even the capital Vientiane was a small town with few modern buildings.
