Want to Start a Relationship with a Lao Lady? There's Something You Need to Know First! | Now to Lao

[@Dee-ps4ki]

I have personal experience with staying in a hotel with a lady and the police came knocking. The police demanded $500 and go to the jail. The police officer was smiling and just knew they were getting ready to collect. There was only one problem. My lady could speak Lao and they could Not tell that she was Not Lao. She is Thai and after demanding the money and a trip to the jail they asked her for her id. We had to go back to the room and get her passport. Now to their surprise she is not Lao ! They told us to have a good nights rest at the hotel. If she was Lao it would have been a huge problem ! Be Advised the hotel staff only checked my passport and the hotel called the police to say that I was staying at their hotel with a Lao girl. The hotel will report you guys ! Be careful !

[@blonglo9067]

Todd after i read your massage about police came to arrest at the motel, let me ask you what if we process the marriage certificate document in laos lady your are the one married and stay in laos now can you tell me how to get legally stay in laos and who will handle all the documents please tell me how to get them .

[@johnroberts7404]

Have been married to a Laos lady for 13 years after living in Laos for 5 years. Simple rules really: just be kind and friendly to everyone you meet and be respectful of Laos culture. Good idea to get to know the village chief - he will likely allow you and your partner to stay together if he likes you and knows you to have good intentions.

[@NowinLao]

Too many rules complicate things, and they certainly never sweat the small stuff. Getting in good with the village chief makes life a hell of a lot easier and beneficial 👌 Cheers 🍻

[@chrissyboy21976]

Guys as someone else recently married to a Lao woman after 3 years together, Todd has explained it perfectly in this video, especially the cultural aspects and the lack of public displays of affection. Laos is NOT Thailand. The woman aren't as 'westernised', they're far more conservative in their values, morals and even the modern dressed outgoing ones. They're exactly the type of women your mother would approve of 😂 Really you need to be a genuinely respectful gent if you're hoping for a relationship. The Lao women are so graceful and beautiful, I just love their traditional skirts they all wear 😍 So if you're an obnoxious drunk who likes showing off, stick to your local, or get scammed by the bar girls in Thailand 😑 From what I understand, the laws are there because 1, they don't want Lao areas turning into Pattaya. And secondly because of sex trafficking due to the gender imbalance, ( men leaving to work abroad mainly Thailand ) many Lao women were marrying foreigners, who then took away their passports and put them to work in brothels, mainly China. As a result the Lao foreigner relationships and mainly marriage applications is pretty intrusive and extensive. They want to know everything about you. It's a pain in the ass being a genuine couple, especially until you're married. But I can understand why they do it to protect their women. But as Todd says sharing a room before marriage is illegal, fine, jail, deported or ban. Personally I didn't risk it much, why potentially screw up our wedding application. We just made up for lost time once we were back in Thailand 😁😜

[@lorpaoxiong812]

[@phetindra8216]

Wow, I am impressed how a Polish guy could manage to have a Lao girl (soon wife) 👌👍😁. There are two absolutely different worlds. Several years ago I heard about a guy who came to Laos with an economic mission from the Polish KGHM (copper mining), he felt in love with a Lao girl that he almost lost his mind (too far away countries).

[@boyar1978]

When i was with my ex who was Cambodian I used to stay at her family's house when i went to visit them. Their houses usually do not have hot or running water, a/c or other amenities and perhaps they think that you would be more comfortable at the hotel. I always had the odd temptation to feed the chickens, pigs, and cows when the rooster crowed every morning. I always had the best sleep there though. I like falling asleep seeing stars in the sky and hearing Tokay Lizards singing and crickets chirping. every so often a firefly will fly in and land on my nose. Sometimes it would be a cockroach or a huge beetle

[@mikethemechanic7395]

Married to a American Lao of 21 years. I have 2 kids who share Lao and American names. The people are the most kind and generous I have met. Anytime I have been to another Lao persons house. I am treated like family and feel comfortable. It was difficult at first dealing with the culture and all of the rules. Most Lao are understanding of Americans. There are quite a few who get offended and don’t ask what you really mean and take things at face value. Can be downright frustrating. At times I can only talk about the weather or i will say something that offends someone.

[@TruthSeeker30_]

You never thought about studying the language?

[@diggy5361]

Okay. There is no mention at all about the chaperone thing. My wife escaped Laos with 2 male cousins and stayed in the refugee camps. The 3rd in the family to escape. Her sister and youngest brother already here in states as well as many cousins. When she got here she stayed with sister. Sister married American. For her and I to spend time together we needed to have another family member present. I was told Lao custom. The American brother-in-law is the one that got us together. He owned a Asian grocery store in town and I would shop there for home and work. To her family is the top of the ladder and that is what I was looking for.

[@jeffstryker1454]

I first met my wife in Luang Prabang and 6 months later I traveled back with my parents to ask her parents for her hand in marriage , if I went by myself her parents would have said no because they probably thought I mucking around and just wanted to have sex with their daughter. That was 20 years ago and we are still happily married.

[@vuetube4558]

NOW that's respect I can appreciate! True love transcends boundaries and race.

[@bijoydasudiya]

That's the right approach. When your parents ask for the hand of a Lao girl, it lends credibility. But what about communication? linguistic challenge? What about marriage? Buddhist or Xian rituals?

Hi Todd, first and foremost, this is my belated viewing of this video, "Starting a relationship with a Lao Woman" It was only in recent times that I took an interest in your vlog,,hahaha. Anyway you did mentioned that if a foreigner had an illegal relationship? there will be a fine of US500!!! My question is if you as a foreigner paid the fine, will you be able to continue the relationship?

[@NowinLao]

Thanks for watching. Ok, I will ask you this.. if the police fined you for speeding, and you Paid the fine, are you allowed to continue speeding now? Or will you incur another speeding fine?

[@leebruce2148]

Yes i agree with you sir you have to be marry to them to sleep with them or unless you get a girl from tma bar thats different but still you have to be careful they can sue you for that to Laos people are the nicest people im not saying that because im from laos my self my wife is also Laos i actually went to Laos and got engaged and got her to the state and got marry her home town is in Vientiane

[@bijoydasudiya]

But marriage is more expensive because I have to pay dowry. Look I want to be righteous but can't be so. So the cheaper option of fornication is much preferable. No political party speaks against the social evil of dowry or bride price. If that's eradicated people will definitely not get involved with prostitutes.

[@manjelos]

Thailand is actually also much conservative like Laos. Well, you don't see it of course in the cities but in the country side much. As foreigner you have really to follow tradition and rules if you want to be with Thai girl outside of cities. Know one German expat you got married and live there. I personally kind of like Laos way what prevent much sex tourism, corruption, criminal. What mostly tourists in Thailand does not know is that also in Thailand is prostitution forbidden. And when you see police walking trough red light districts you can imagine how it works...

Not bad Todd. I think things are different in getting a Lao wife in Lao or from another country where they had escaped to when the Communist took over. Inside they are raised the same way and have the same values. I think for the most part. The biggest thing is what hardships the family had to endure. Family status is a big thing as well. Is there a middle class in Lao? Will talk some more later. Take care and have a super day to both you and Neenee! Safe travels.

[@boyar1978]

when I was with my ex who was Cambodian whenever I would go anywhere I would simply state she was my wife. I took her to Viet Nam and Thailand and she stayed in the hotel room with me and no one questioned me or her. If I and my lady are in Vietnam and Thailand what are they going to do to ask us for marriage certificates? Me and my ex were planning to have a wedding and her family knew about it as I had already paid the bridewealth. I understand that Cambodians, Laotians, Thais, Vietnamese, Burmese, Malaysians, Chinese, and Indonesians are more conservative and if she is seen with me it might make people think she is a loose woman if she is not married to me. Plus having a wife makes me look better in the eyes of locals.

[@NowinLao]

Nice work Michael.. much different culture than ours ay.

[@boyar1978]

@@NowinLao Actually when it comes to dating I was not aware of many of the customs that Asians have. I did not know about bridewealth. In Western countries usually the parents would pay for the wedding and provide a dowry for the groom. In South East Asia it is the opposite. Interestingly I knew they did something similar in Arab countries. I am aware if I wanted to marry an Arab woman she would be able to choose the bridewealth. This means if she really liked me she could tell me she would be happy with a kiss on the cheek. If she did not like me but did not want to say no she could say she wants the stars, the sun and moon. When my ex suggested it I was not completely shocked by her request.

[@boyar1978]

@@NowinLao i do think it is more about being discreet and trying to protect her reputation. I am aware that in Asia that women date because they want to find husbands. I do not know about Laos but i know in China and Cambodia once a woman reaches 28 she is worried that she will be leftover and be unable to find a husband or have a family. I understand if she is seen having too much fun she will gain a bad reputation from her friends and family.

[@NowinLao]

@@boyar1978 In Lao it's more than her reputation, it is law. It is against the law to have a physical relationship with a Lao national if you are not married. I believe this law is why Lao is not a sex tourist hot spot like many other S.E.Asian countries.

[@boyar1978]

@@NowinLao is it one that they enforce or is it like in China where it is on the books and the police will enforce it if you piss them off? I know Viet nam has a similar law but i think there it is mainly the hotels that enforce it. Usually I would just tell them I am married to the person I am with because it is not like they are going to check papers. I am thinking of visiting Laos when i need to do another Visa run. I currently live in Cambodia and I am waiting for the world to open up so I can return to China to work. I mainly want to visit Laos because I want to visit all the Communist countries. So far I have been to China and Vietnam which leaves North Korea, Cuba, and Laos. Personally, if I am going to date Asian women it would be ideal for me to date Chinese as I can speak Mandarin and i tend to love Chinese people. culture and even the Chinese Communist Party. Viet Nam would also be high on my list of Asian countries to live in as I feel similar about Viet Nam as I do about China. Plus i think of Vietnamese soldiers as heroic for being able to defeat the Western Imperialists.

[@ericcarlsson8758]

Respect the culture where ever you are is my personal opinion on how to act and react to and with people in different countries 🇱🇦 Great insight thx

[@boyar1978]

I make a point to act like locals do. I try to learn the language, learn to cook their foods and when they ask what I think about their country I always state three positive things. In Cambodia I will tell them I love the warm climate, I think Khmer women are the hottest girls on the planet and I love Hun Sen. I usually will follow up with saying Phnom Penh is a great city for working or going to bars and clubs but I prefer Kompong Chnnang which is a small provincial city. I end with Cambodia would be a great place for retiring or vacation but I prefer China or Viet Nam for working. I figure this statement is highly positive, shows i do more then simply hang out at bars and the one negative is something that most Cambodians would relate to. If i am in China I will tell them that I think China is one of the greatest countries on Earth. I like Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party as I think they do a great job at meeting the needs of Chinese Citizens. I tell them that China has the hottest women on the planet, the tastiest food dumpling being my favorite. I usually tell them that thought i love Beijing because i like the Forbidden city and the history but I prefer to live in Shenyang as it is a cool place to live and it is close to Russia. I basically will say things like this in every country I visit. I think locals appreciate that i talk positively about their country and that I act patriotic. When I am in Thailand and i hear the song for their king I always remove my hat and stand tall with my hand over my heart to pay my respect. I always see Thai's smile at that. When I am in Thailand I am Thai. When I am in Laos I am a Laotian. When I am in Brazil I am a Brazilian.

They are certainly a lot less materialistic than Western women.

[@bijoydasudiya]

No one has answered the question.

[@phetindra8216]

You can't find them in the places where tourists gather. It's not Thailand though. Lao women usually get out of their home during two religious events, the Wassana and the Pavarana. They all go to their local temples to perform some merit-making activities, mostly circling several times the main building meditating with candles in the hands. The way back from the temples is the only one moment you can approach and have a chat with them, as a tourist. Of cause you have to have your eyes all around your head, because the local guys they know that too. When I was young during these two events each house used to prepare "Khao Tom" for the alms giving (sticky rice mixed with coconuts cream, mostly with half of sweet banana, wrapped in banana leaf and served stewed). In the evening with these sweets we went to the houses where we knew there are girls, we crew like a rooster, then the girl or girls got out of the house with theirs and made the exchange. This way you could have a chat with any girl you had seen and you knew where she lived (of cause you have to have...). Sadly they don't practice this beautiful tradition anymore.

[@americanronin5223]

I beg to differ. I am American of Lao origin married to a beautiful, tall, blued eyed girl from the Midwest. And, I couldn't disagree with you more about Western women. People every where fall under the bell curve for pretty much every personal and social attribute. You will find honest and wholesome women and men if you look in the right places. My wife is smart, over educated, kind, down to earth, and God fearing. All these qualities maker her an amazing mom, wife and daughter-in-law to my mom despite the language barrier. Truth be known, my first wife was Asian-American from Laos also, and she was the biggest *itch ever. So, race has very little bearing on character and moral values.

Very close to Indian culture mainly Buddhism is the connecting link. Moreover, the male traditional dress of Laos is identical. A more mellow and sober version of Thailand. Script and language food religion dress all very much alike. Women too are religious (Buddhists).

Laos is still a communist state as far and as laws go that’s what you can expect. The cultural differences between Laos and Isaan however aren’t all that much and foreign louts aren’t accepted in the villages there either. Many people in north east Thailand share the same language and customs. As with Laos, if you’re out of town it doesn’t count for much.

[@bijoydasudiya]

It is a common perception that whites have a tendency to divorce their wives on flimsy grounds. But as an Indian given the common cultural and religious Hindu Buddhist background, applying the same yardstick as for white farangs would have disastrous consequences.

Hey Billmeister... Are they not desired or are the older women fed up with the Thai mans cheating ways...? I have been told Lao men are not much different... A generalization I know, but one I hear too often. I often hear the reason some Lao women look for a foreigner husband is they believe foreigners are more faithful. I'm not so sure... but I had a conversation with a Lao friend of mine, who agrees. He said it is common for Lao men to have "side chicks" and most women do nothing but put up with it.

When will the west see S.E. Asian women as human not as sex object. The west tourist visits where sex can be easily available like Thailand, Philippines.
