Savannakhet Laos - How the Rich Live in Laos

[@asiaexpat62]

When I was in Savannakhet in 1969 nothing like this exist. There was one wealthy as I remember that had two French style homes, one was used by the unnamed organization I was a part of. Recent visits gave me a great surprise in that wealth still exists or more accurately has redeveloped. I love the Laos people and enjoy visiting with those of the much lower economic class.

[@lamthianechanthavong4241]

I know high official in Laos didn't get much slarry! Most rich people got money from doing bad thing!

[@VenturiLife]

It is a one-party socialist republic, espousing Marxism-Leninism governed by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. (And has rich people haha).

[@ItsKenner]

For a house like this in Laos speaks volumes, most of us are use to materialistic items in a big modern house but we have to keep in mind Laos is a third world country. So to have this type of house their speak volumes. Very nice property.

[@nonnarath2012]

That’s it’s a mansion house huge mogul and beautiful inside thank you for sharing

[@jamesmathers6204]

Wow! Thats an amazing house. It looks like a museum. You could play cricket in the rooms...

I live in Savannakhet. I saw this house a couple times but never see how it's inside. That's their dream I guess, but normal life is happier for me. thanks for sharing this wonderful vid. :)

[@giasingsitha3243]

Lao people like to outdo each other for class and status. Majority of the citizen are living in poverty with below living standards. Roads and schools are disgraceful.

[@nahaidiew2991]

That is what happened to all Lao leaders They are worry about themselves not the nation

[@anitaglassofwine]

Sad but true. Don’t forget about healthcare.

Yes very Laos. Huge house unused except party in the garage. I’m Laos my parents have very nice house in the states. Everything still covered in plastic unused and they only entertain in the basement or garage. 😂

Hahaha yep, sounds about right 😁🤙

Huge house but very dull and depressing feel to it

Agree. A house, but not a home 😏

[@levics1014]

I would not mind live in this house, i think its awesome

[@VenturiLife]

Empty of people.

[@sherpenciltheartist8007]

Such a beautiful house I thought it was a hotel nice interior.

[@rainyang224]

What a big and beautiful home!!!

[@longbra]

I hate how they concrete or tile over almost every inch of the landscape. I also agree with others, way too big and not necessary. I’d have far greater respect for someone with a modestly sized home.

[@kungfufighter999]

OMG too lavishing and the place is way too big. Plus can park so many cars.

[@catherineprice6090]

I love that they like to party in the carport and not by the pool or in the huge pavilion beside or indeed inside the house. Great Video xxx

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha yeah I know right... 😝🤙 Thanks 😁

[@Toefuy]

Beautiful people. Beautiful home. It would be interesting to see it again in twenty years or so. I like the craftsmanship of the place. Did the family build it themselves or was it done by a builder or something?

[@LaoSoftware]

The rich people in Laos need to share the wealth with the Lao people. They need to give jobs and hire Lao people to work for them. This will help the economy and make Laos a better future for the young children.

[@QSL.]

Right share. This is lao, they take from the poor and feed the rich. Who the are you

[@philipnguyen3107]

There is no need for a house that big in Laos. Unless your whole extended family is housed there too. From a Lao born here.

[@NowinLao]

Why? They have them elsewhere.. 🙄

[@chankhamp]

Wow look at that house!

[@clayg5739]

How did they make their money?

[@olaybsaysol7134]

Sad that there’s a lot of haters...jealousy and being bitter is bad medicine.

[@NowinLao]

..and you know what, its not the Lao living in Laos doing the hating .. the majority is from outsiders who hate the thought of people in a "Commie" country doing better than them... Lol

Didn’t see old crazy legs up there dancing. Some house! What kind of wood is that? I hear that the wood is very expensive over there now. I heard they sell a lot of wood to Thailand. Maybe that’s up in the northern part. Thanks for sharing. Hope you both had a great time.

[@pamp.phongsay2976]

A lot of it is all for status. The gap between the rich and the poor is a lot worse. They might call themselves a Republic but you are not free to say whatever you want about their government without having their police knocking on your door. I have family there and those who are willing to play ball can achieve that lifestyle. The country is poor and the Chinese are fully aware of that and they are ceasing every opportunity to take advantage of it. Sad. Was born there but have no desire to go back home.

That is some house my friend.

[@Aidualc68]

Why not pink right? My grandma lives in Vientiane, her house was so big it almost took up a whole block. They put us to shame here in America

[@NowinLao]

Yes, why not..😁 Unfortunately Audualc, from some of the comments here, some people are of the opinion that if you have a big home in Laos its because of corruption or drug money. Like... how could anybody in a "Commie" country be legitimately successful... yeah right 🙄😏 Many would be surprised at how many big homes and successful people/families there are here...

[@chanVongthongchit]

Can you do a video talking with numbers? If you haven’t done so already, I’m really interested in seeing what these people do for a living or how they got to that point.

[@nkaujntse5196]

I have the same thoughts. What’s their background from 1950’s to present. How involved are they with the government?

Dark, but picture very good for conditions.
