Simply amazing episode. One of Tony's best. I'm currently in Luang Prabang on a 2 month journey through SEA. Currently getting over a stomach virus i picked up in Thailand before I got here. The generosity and kindness of the local people has been beyond heartwarming. Anyone who finds out of my sickness has offered me remedies, advice and help. It's truly the most gentle place I've ever been.

Never seen this episode before, saw the no reservations one, which I enjoyed but this, well. That was beautiful, enchanting and enlightening. Makes you ashamed to be American. This is why this man is a legend. Laos is definitely on my bucket list. Only the British guy Simon Reeve can lay a claim to be compared to this great man.

Anthony Bourdain is one of kind, a legend, a man who spoke his mind without a filter, a passionate writer who had no boundaries and kept pushing his limit beyond his imagination. There is no other man like him, no comparison to put it simply.

It gives me great joy and immense sorrow that one of my father's heroes gave his time and attention to the country and people that he devoted all his life's work to. I only wish both men were alive to share their love for culture and life together. Rest peacefully, both my heroes.

Finally made it to visit Lao a few months ago and from my experience it‘s the most spiritual, primitive, special and (partially) unspoilt of the SEA Region. Beautiful people, full of grace and majestic landscapes, culture and food. Terrible past and also a dangerous present, mostly through Chinese exploitation of their scarce resources. Still, unforgettable, eager to come back one day.

The amount of Chinese vehicles importing goods from Laos over the mountainous border is crazy. Trying to navigate the mountain roads sharp turns with these vehicles is even crazier!

Yeah the worry about the Ukraine war from western countries is really hypocritical when you consider how many wars across the world have existed for years. But it's inside Europe so now people suddenly realize there is war in the world.

The title represents only 3% of what's inside this episode. The 'bombies' might be more appropriate to be in the title. The five minutes towards the ending without being narrated, that is a brilliant decision.
