Love your vlogs of Laos,brother! My mother and father are from Savankhet,Laos. Keep on keeping on. I'm Lao American,but I'm really considering on possibly retiring in Laos one day. Khup jai derrr!🙂👌🏽🔥💯

[@NowinLao]

Dude, I can think of many worse places to retire. Loving the chill laid back lifestyle my friend. Take care and thank you 🙏

[@stephenbutz7067]

Yep I recognized the landing strip planking used as fencing 🙂

[@darrennicol2442]

Pierced Steel Planking, used to lay on muddied,rough ground for aircraft runways

[@seanglynn962]

[@agentmmarts3059]

Hello Todd. Happy Nene is back on the vlog with you.

[@diggy5361]

Nice. Looks pretty quite there at the end. Very relaxing. Easy on the fried food. Everything in moderation as satu would say. Have a good one.

[@NowinLao]

Yeah, very quiet on Savannakhet, not much going on.. Will do 👍

[@nate_jm]

Good vlog mate. Ive been to Savannakhet a few times, last stayed at Fundee GH for 2 nights (visit to the Thai consulate). It's a pretty quiet place, not a great deal there for foreigners if not for the consulate but some times quiet is good. Very easy to get around, wide flat streets with little traffic. The locals are so welcoming and friendly - like the rest of Laos 😊

[@Unplugged704]

When the Master of Ceremony gives his blessings... I espcially love our language (Lao and Thai) for that. Its flows and rhymes so beautifully.

[@iangeorge1544]

The town in thailand across the mekong is Mukdahan

The fence is called Marston Mat,it was used for airstrips by the US Military.They also used them at times for the ceiling in bunkers then put sandbags over top of them.

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Fun vlog as always Todd Was that veggiemite on the breaky table Todd ? Crepes Todd not crapes lol

[@thomaseseybold5994]

Pierced planking , in the 60s the US AID ( CIA ) Air America used it at Wattay and others airports for runways. I flew off it from 65 to 68

[@paperdrop7602]

9:46 he’s telling you that they’re going to use the tiles for the rest of the roofs. My parents are Laotian. Haven’t been there yet.

[@udonnomemedonnou8733]

Lots of changes in Savannakhet. The city look a lot different than it was back in 2005. Not a bad house for $50K USD. Only complaint would be the house design. Still the same look/design like the ones I saw in 2005 lol.

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha and they're still building brand new homes similar to that today 😝

[@Unplugged704]

I'm sure you can bring your own plans.

[@daisybeagle6259]

Air America ..... Marston Mat, more properly called pierced (or perforated) steel planking PSP! Makes a great fence!

[@NowinLao]

It certainly is 👌

[@kiko69]

The Us military used those railings for makeshift landing pads.

[@mickolsen9601]

PSP matting on fence lines....was also used for landing pads for Helo

I went to school with a Mick Olsen...🤔

[@billsimpson2392]

Most enjoyable Master Todd.

[@BrentHiggins01]

Many items can be used to accompany ice-cream; crap is not on my list. Thanks for the vid 👍🏻

[@vsin793]

Agreed the fried chicken in Laos is delicious!

[@NowinLao]

Damn right 👍

[@mtnmandeluxe5429]

Hi Todd, Now , i like that town ALOT! Looks very colonial with a few modern touches. I kinda liked that it didnt appear to be chineseified yet. Hell,, leave the lights off and maybe theyll miss it. Lol. I had to lol when Uncle was giving you the tour of the familiy home. I knew you were a bit buzzed up and he was jabbering at you like you knew every Lao word. Yet , the 2 of you were communicating perfectly. He must be one tough old guy, because the ammount of work he acomplished outside is amazing. Thanks again,my friend for taking us on a fun adventure. I do agree with you about the mansion ,, kind of sterile,, not really a homey feel to it. Glad you and Neenee had fun. Ttyl ,,, Marlon

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha yeah, the language barrier is definitely not a problem when chatting to her uncle. He has his body/sign language down pat 👌😉

[@phonskhmumusic8238]

I really like the videos you post Todd. Gives me a glimpse of what it's like in my home country without actually being ever being there. Just curious though, it seems as if life there is functioning as normal in the midst of the coronavirus chaos. Is it much of a concern over there in Laos?

[@NowinLao]

I was just talking about that with the owner of a market. People here get on with their lives....business as usual. Unlike back home, I hardly hear it mentioned here... Yes, everybody is aware of it, but they don't seem concerned. Thanks for your comment Phons.. 🙏

[@brunowest5027]

Savan is so slow pace still I love it. Can still get a bowl of pho at 1 am :)))

[@naipai9021]

My parents were born in Laos. They had many acres of land, farms, and animals. Because of the Vietnam War, they lost everything.

[@army089786]

The fence material is called PSP (Pierced Steel Planking) and was/is used by the US Military to make landing strips for fixed wing aircraft and helipads for helicopter operations.

[@robertburnett5561]

Oh, the food in Lao. We have lots of food in the U.S. But not really.

[@stevethepom]

LOL I thought Nene was saying the Ice cream was crap at first !

[@robertburnett5561]

Is Lao more or less difficult to learn than the other S.E. languages? Anyway, in Vientiene I walked by a "mourning" gathering with lots of food. They said I could share with the food. Not many other places like that, I think.

[@Unplugged704]

Laotian is much easier to learn than Cambodian or Vietnamese.

[@Unplugged704]

@19:40. Those are quail eggs.

[@thedistro4123]

We stayed in the same hotel on the way to pakse hahaha

[@himjuhshylla9117]

You are great man bro me too i like Laos people's and country when i have good financial I'll travel loas

[@pib1mustsismuajkawg466]

By the look of these foods that you ate, it is clearly tell that Laos are smarter and more capability then American right, because u went there able to get ur American daily food in a Laos Restaurant, imagine 1 Lao guy went to America and went into An American Restaurant, that Lao guy will go hungry and not be able to find Laos food to eat for sure

Do you guys travel to Thailand since your so close and does Nene go visit Australia?

[@NowinLao]

Hey Julie. Yes, have a fair few videos of our Travels in Thailand. Mainly in the North of Thailand. We usually cross the border at least once every 3 months that I'm here 😁🤙 Here's a series we did starting all the way up in the Golden Trangle and briefly crossing into Myanmar before working our way back down to Udon Thani.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIaVZ2eFaLOtaJo The videos are in chronological order if you wanted to continue watching the series 😁👍

[@NowinLao]

Yes Neenee travels back with me sometimes, but because of the restaurant, not as often as we'd both like. Have done some travel vids there also..👍

Todd! Love how you say "doey" to the elder!

Do you understand what the uncle is saying? And you should do a house tour in and out with the restaurant!

[@NowinLao]

@@島袋誠-z6k Not too sure about an individual dwelling/house, but I understand you can own an apartment/condo. If you want to live here, it's not too hard to get a stay permit for 12 months. Renew each year. You will need another visa if you want to work here. Many options open to you to stay and live..

Correct 👏

Westerner can purchase in Lao??

No. Only Lao nationals can purchase land..
