An Unexpected Day on the Mekong! (Falling in Love with Laos)

NEW BUDDYMOON MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE! Check out our store - mybuddymoon.com/shop/
BUDDYMOON DAY 525/1000 (VLOG 147)
It is day 2 of our VIP Luxury boat cruise down the Mekong river in Laos towards Luang Prabang. Laos is a country we were not expecting much of but it just seems to be getting more amazing the more we get to explore this beautiful country.
After an amazing one night stay in Pakbeng, we hopped back onto our luxury boat to continue our journey down the mekong river but we had 2 stops. Our first stop is a village where we will get to see how the people live right next to the river. The kids here were just soooo soooo sweet, we brought some snacks to hand out to them cause don't thing they get much here in the village. We also saw a guy making his own knives. In this village, the people were also making there own linen which was amazing to see.
After having lunch on board our boat, our next stop was at a temple on the side of the meking river, this temple is only accessable by boat. Here they had little kids selling braclets but they definitely knew how to market them as we ended up buying 3, hahaha :)
Loas is becoming slowing becoming one of the best countries we have every visited, it has so much to offer and has the most amazing, sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet. We highly recomment visiting this country, you will won't regret it.

Laos looks so so much like Northeast India. Especially this Mekong river area look like the foothills in Mizoram and the overall terrain and people looks like They are from Northeast India. Amazed!!!

[@thaitraveller9756]

Leeann is so cute, thinking she can travel the world and keep her case in pristine condition 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪

And also is thinking waking up at 6:30am is an early time. I've just retired and started waking up at that time instead of 5:15am every day for the last 20 years.

As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect South Africa and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂.

[@prasoonlove2864]

How many Christians r left in Pakistan 😅😅?

[@duydang2879]

A major issue is that there are over 100 hydroelectric dams along the Mekong River, with many more in the process of being built. This significantly affects the river's ecosystem and particularly depletes water resources in the lower Mekong Delta. That's sad :(

[@pointhaya6338]

It's nice to see you guys visit Laos. May I ask where are you guys from.

Another great video. Couldn’t help but scratch off visiting the upper cave, from my bucket list. If you two young tweens got short winded, I would never make it! 😂 Can’t wait for your next video. Hey I was thinking, you guys should do South America soon Chile 🇨🇱 Argentina 🇦🇷 Ecuador 🇪🇨 Colombia Bolivia 🇧🇴. You would love it. Then Central America and Mexico! That would keep you full of content for about 12-18 months!
