The Laos Nobody sees | Back Roads & Hmong villages E4

[@tiatamara11]

Thanks Robin from the great Western Australia for the hats....bless you all there.

[@geraldmoore9275]

that little Mina is always so entertaining. Loves dancing, singing and ready to help. But don't forget to feed her, she will blow away. All the children and adults like socking caps. Great sense along the way.❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@williamsprowls2729]

Your hat lady in Aus must be grinning ear to ear to see so many kids enjoying her handiwork!

[@NowinLao]

She's a wonderful woman with a huge heart ❤️

[@carlos503elsalvador]

I'm from el salvador and I was in laos for 6 months, I honestly can't wait to go back and everytime I catch your videos it makes me miss it so much more 😩😩

[@nevillelomas6368]

Hey Todd, Mina loves her dancing and singing, having fun. Troopy is purring along , having a great time by the looks of it. Take care Nev.

[@ewengillies9826]

One of those drive in and wash it yourself car washes. Can't complain about the result. Mena is such a treasure. Bushyboy Oz.

[@NowinLao]

@@ewengillies9826 best car wash ever mate 👍

[@NowinLao]

Thanks Nev, hope you and Zona are doing well 🙏

[@graemeaylward8313]

Todd, Neenee and Mina, there is no doubt that your channel is the hottest channal on KZbin! You give us amazing roads with fabulous views, you meet wonderful people on the way, donate gifts to those in need, putting smiles on peoples face, and mine too, market, guest house and restaurant reviews, car wash tips etc. And if that wasn't enough, you give us dancing, plus water gymnastics! Another great vlog! God bless you all always. 😀❤🙏

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha love your feedback Graeme! Always nice to see you along for the ride and loving what we capture. A very valuable viewer, that's for sure! Enjoy your day mate 🧉

[@SAWVLIGDHAUU]

Those hats were an awesome idea. ❤ Those villagers were wonderful people. Keep doing what you’re doing. You guys ROCK! ❤️

[@spongesurf12]

I'm guessing the "NO NNA" on her shirt is meant to read as one word: NONNA. Italian for Grandma.

[@stevencargill9245]

Todd and fam thanks for these amazing videos. We just got back from Loas and will go back soon

[@beehang6448]

You and your family always give away, thanks for what your family doing,I'm so happy to see peoples that needs it. I'm a Hmong living in the USA, thanks and God bless your whole family in a future

FUN,FUN,FUN. Enjoyed watching you all having A Very Fun Time. Loved the Music!!Thanks for Sharing!!

[@generalnguyenngocloan1700]

Mina’s singing had me in tears laughing at the end. I love your Hmong vids. 👍🏻

[@asiadeweese7319]

I love watching Meena and Meena dancing -such joy! And I think you would have looked great in a full out colorful and jingling Hmong outfit. 😊

[@NowinLao]

Hahaha you're just saying that to laugh at me when I do! 😝 It was a beautiful afternoon by the river ❤️

[@HuajVam83]

wow. im hmong and i live in melb, Australia. good too see you enjoy going to see our villages in the mountains

[@ayangdidi5524]

We envy you two Nini and dear Todd exploring deep Laos far from "falang tourist tours" and Vientiane superficial " uptodate" events. Beaj mad, bon "trip".😊

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Hey Todd, As always your videos are masterpieces. I want to ask a few questions , you do a lot for the Lao community, The lao markets have such an abundance of fresh vegetables, fruits , meat out there on a daily basis . They can't possibly sell it all. Do they have ample refrigeration for storage ? Do they throw away? What happens to it at the end of the day.? Do they have food banks for the poor. And what happens to the surplus clothing ? I gather that to get it to the people that truly benefit from it would require transportation. Your thoughts ? Sending you well wishes to you Neenee and Mina . Enjoying this series. 👍👍 Jim and Harriet Richmond, Va. P.S. You might have a addressed some the questions in other videos.?

[@davesbikelife]

Great video buddy! Really enjoyed that. Glad you're keeping the nice troopy clean the little ones. English is coming along interested to see the higher villages up. Have a good ones 🤟🏽🙏🏽👍🏽

[@BrandonJHunt]

Magnificent video! You’re one of the few living their best life! I’m excited to explore Lao once I get retired in Thailand with the wife.

[@NowinLao]

All the best for the future Brandon 👍

[@robc5520]

Soemthing in the water there!!!! lmfaooooooooo...Excellent mate!!!!

[@rabbittwhite]

what a ray of sunshine that little waterbug has brought into your lives. what a great little spot next to the river to set up a tent throw down a fire and bbq up some ribs

[@lmapicas3279]

Always good to get local knowledge on them backroads so much better than Google maps

[@NowinLao]

So many roads here that Google doesn't know about. Then there are some that are marked as good roads and are utter shit! 😆 Cheers

[@sisakhonevilayphone8087]

Thank you ❤️🙏😇

[@mtnmandeluxe5429]

Hi Todd,,beautiful little run,,gorgeous country. Mina never ceases to amaze,,constantly moving,dancing, thinking,,such a sense of humor. It's very rare to see a kid as young as Mina with such a well developed sense of humor. Invariably it happens only when the kid is highly intelligent. Those massive chunks of wood are too cool. Thanks for always highlighting those beauties for me! By the looks of the other bunny hopping little girl at the market,,our mina wasnt the only one hitting the Pepsi bottle lol . Glad this trip was good for you all. Seems like the people are more thankful than ever for the warm hats. That is one cool lady,,the knitter ,I mean. Take care guys,,❤you Mina,,Ttyl,,,Marlon

[@apolloorosco6852]

Lucky man you are Todd. Cheers

[@kingkongkingkong4718]

I got to go here next time when I’m in Laos Thank Todd for showing the way 💪

[@rosepaajh7567]

Awww they are both so cute singing by the river ❤❤

[@teoschatz8430]

🤗🙏🏼! Can’t get enough of the beautiful sceneries, thank you for bringing us along. Have a wonderful day.

[@NowinLao]

Always nice to have you along Téo 😉👍 Thanks

[@geraldtabu-or2jr]

Nice Marvin's.

[@kevinandgemma7740]

Great videos Todd . I have been watching Dr. Paul T. Carter videos on the conflict in Loa very interesting maybe some places you have been to ..👍👍

[@chrisperkins7331]

Hi Guys. The cassava you showed was a reasonable size for land that is unlikely to be fertilized. Raw roots are about $90-100 a ton at the processors, with the dried roots a bit over twice that price. However you loose, nearly half the weight in moisture, so it is mostly done to save on transport costs. The locals can use them for food but it is 90% carbohydrate, so just puts on fat, just like a donut, but not as tasty. The table slab you looked at is a standard size in these part, and we bought one (no legs, and just the raw wood) For $200 a month ago.

[@NowinLao]

Nice score mate.. look forward to seeing it 👍

[@chrisperkins7331]

Always welcome of course, in the meantime I will send you a picture@@NowinLao

[@chrisperkins7331]

Always welcome of course, in the meantime I will send a picture.@@NowinLao

[@threecampbells]

Loved seeing all the smiles from the kids and parents, very heart warming indeed. Forgot how much I missed the drives from village to village and town to town. Love the nitted hats and a great gift they need in the cold season. I just love the view of such beautiful surroundings and so many breath takening locations. Keep up the love my friends. By the way Todd, always love the tunes you play, good to great oldies for us. ❤

[@NowinLao]

Have a great day my friend 🙏 Thank you

[@donaldthomas7753]

Thanks again for the adventure and trek through Hmong villages. Mina, as always, a shining example of childhood and happiness. Cheers!

[@scotbownes5627]

So unbelievably cool that you show us these amazing people and places - God bless you for your kindness 👍🙂

[@saylarvee]

you really love the sound of the engine running

[@NowinLao]

Much better than the engine not running 😉

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

So nice. Thank you

[@vanhdeexiapao6904]

[@meksavanhmanivong2493]

[@pookeyhutchison7838]

Starting to catch up on your latest episodes Ol mate. So remember all those waterfalls in the middle of buggery and bloody awesome they are. Closely following the way your going and yep Xaisomboun will not elude us on our next trip. hopefully catch up on all episodes this arvo in the fart tub down in the man cave. Cheers Pookey.🍺🍻

[@NowinLao]

Great to hear mate.. have missed you guys. Can always hit me up anytime if you want more details on roads to take 👌 You'll enjoy the next few roads we venture onto, that's for sure! Enjoy the tub mate 😉

[@geraldtabu-or2jr]

Nice videos

[@MichaelJonesC-4-7]

_Troopy trippin'._ ; )

[@terranceyeo3087]

hi guys have a great day

[@geraldtabu-or2jr]

cassava is big in west africa.eastern and southern africa maize flour north africa is wheat/bread and rice

[@deanpellier5320]

Thanks

[@NowinLao]

Happy days! Thank you

[@dirtpunk3754]

I got sick there. However it wasn’t from meat. It was from eating fresh veg. If you stick to cooked stuff you’re usually ok.

[@tomhorn6156]

love ewrything here. Thanks.

[@NowinLao]

Glad you enjoy it mate!

[@rider660r]

A lil offraod tip,if you're having a lil trouble going up the steep hills just put the Xfer case in 4 low. You don't need to lock the hubs in,unless the rear tires are spinning. You could probably get out and walk beside it as it goes up them especially when fuel injected. At 14:15,what is it,is that like a mushroom? See any Unimog's over there? Looking at all the back roads I could just sleep out in the wild and just rent a place during the wet season. So now I'm sort of thinking instead of importing my '68 Bronco if I could maybe just buy a Unimog or one of their Russian or Vietnamese trucks with or make a camper type box and be a nomad.... lol

[@rider660r]

Oh never mind,found out what the Cassava's are.

[@NowinLao]

Maaate! I didn't know what a Unimog was until this trip. Stick around.. later we stumble across one abandoned and have a look over it. Apparently in the early 2000's more than 50 were donated to Laos for UXO work, but unfortunately didn't come with a parts and maintenance deal. I'm sure if you greased the right palm you'd pick it up for a bargain 👌Other than smelling like rat shit, still looked in good nick 👍 Thanks for the tip.. that's a good one to know. Cheers 🍻

[@thowe7988]

To boldly go where nobody goes 🚀

[@waynerex9973]

Thanks for another great video, Todd. What were the animals running across the road at 7:35 in the video? They looked like wild boar. That's not something you get to see very often here in Asia.

[@NowinLao]

Lol.. they were cars up ahead disappearing around the corner 😆👍

[@davepb5798]

Another cracking episode!

[@jackmarch2914]

Love you travels. Wanted to let you know about an another Adventure seeker a lady from Holland traveling alone on a motorcycle. You both are very brave. "Itchy Boots" is her KZbin channel. Cheers mate

[@spirittaos]

Family life suits you guys

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

All three of them having a good time. 👍👍

[@deanpellier5320]

Great video,as always

[@NowinLao]

Thanks Dean

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Todd order your hammer and cycle shirt online mate Fun vlog as always

[@NowinLao]

Lol.. that's no fun mate. The enjoyment is in the hunt 😉

[@BadMedizin]

Urban dictionary says NNA (No Name Available). lol! Romanized Lao for face (ໜ້າ) is na... I see a lot of misspelled words on Lao shirts, if it has English print they seem to buy it up. Saw a road sign (in a youtubers vid) for a village in both Lao and English with an arrow to turn right and when he did 50ft away another sign with same name with arrow pointing straight and the English name was spelled different, lol! but I appreciate any help I can get and it always makes me smile! Koi wow pasa Lao khu deknoi (ຂ້ອຍເວົ້າພາສາລາວຄືເດັກນ້ອຍ) so it's all good... 🤣😎

[@tomhorn6156]

Sorry to say ,just thinking of all the minas In ukrain,and gasa, al the love and beatiful harts, Sad,

[@BIGJED75]

Bear NANA....😂

[@NowinLao]

That's the only thing it could be I think 👍

[@geraldtabu-or2jr]

cassava is widely eaten in africa but some varieties are wild and poisonus naturally occuring cyanide

[@khammywong9568]

How cold is the water from that waterfall?

[@NowinLao]

Brass monkeys!

[@peterabell3509]

How is it getting fuel ⛽️ in some of these remote areas of loas ?

[@NowinLao]

Never had a problem. Service stations all throughout the larger villagers and even the small remote ones sell fuel from hand pumped 44 gallon drums.

[@NowinLao]

I show you a small fuel station in this video.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/en6yhmlsqMRsraM
