You won't believe the secret America hid in Laos!

[@wehatethecold]

For subscribers: I made the episodes into a film to reach a larger audience. There are some extra scenes added, as well as the story slightly changed but most is similar. You can skip if you’ve already watched the series.

With this number of bombs, why still losing?

@@wehatethecold no problem. I’m easily confused. 😂😂😂. I do enjoy your content. 👍

[@user-sangsangd1v]

Great job, mate ... I hope to see u soon again . Continue . Full spirit.

I am an Australian and Laotian 🇱🇦 man thank you for show casing our country on your platform.

[@wehatethecold]

No need to thank me, I have thoroughly enjoyed doing it!

[@CuzzyWuzzy]

Love watching the trip so far condensed into one film. Thanks for making this Dude. It must be so hard to condense it down into an hour.

[@wehatethecold]

Thanks mate! It took much longer than expected haha

[@kmdreacts]

Bro.. Your videos and bike trips bring me Massive joy!!! This is a bucket list of mine when I move to SEA, to bike-hike the bordering countries of T.L.C (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos). Your videos remind me of old national geographic shows on bbc1&2 back in the days with camermen on the ground risking it all for our education and entertainment. Stay safe, Live Good, and keep the awesome content coming 👍🏿👊🏿💪🏿

[@wehatethecold]

@@kmdreacts thanks man! I hope you can get out there and do it, it’s a wonderful place full of a lot of kindness and fascinating history. Motorbiking it is like nothing else

Absolutely Stunning, thank you so much for sharing 😊

Thank you for watchinf

Interesting to hear about the Hmong tribes involvement and migration due to the VN war. I stayed in one of their raised huts like @1:04:39

Reminds me of c90adventures in a good way. Keep up the work

[@wehatethecold]

@@adde6455 big love mate definitely one of my many inspirations

[@mlgneo2855]

New episode let’s go. Great work brother. I’m in Vientiane now. Should I go to VangVieng or Prababg Luang next week? I have two free days

[@wehatethecold]

@@mlgneo2855 vang vieng is the better of the two imo but it all depends on what you like 2 very different places. Vang vieng is a bit of a party town too. Old CIA airstrip there but it’s barely noticeable, there’s a bunch of markers on the sides of it

I was born in Laos Paksa live in Canada for 30yrs this video make me wanna go back visit Laos again soon Thankyou.

[@wehatethecold]

I hope you get to visit again soon

Very nice adventure into Laos. I went to Nong Kai, Vientiane, and Luang Probang about 15 years ago finding the guesthouse hosts were indifferent with me about being an American so I didn't venture out to the plain of Jars finding that might be awkward and embarrassing instead of interesting and fun. After 3 days in Luang Probang, I'd had it with communists so I got a flight to Chaing Mai, but not before being searched thoroughly and held 3 hours in the terminal. It was a relief to take off and land in Chaing Mai that day feeling freedom from feeling like I was in danger of being criminalized by the communists. Not to say all communist people are bad, but because the nationalistic people are anti-American. I had nothing to do with that secret war nor my foreign policy. It's crazy.

[@wehatethecold]

@@Worldofourown2024 thanks for sharing your experience mate, it must have been a whole different game 15 years ago. I know I always think it’s stupid the way people think after war, people did it with the Germans after WW2 same with Faulklands and British after that happened (mother and father had a similar experience in South America). I think emotions run hot after because people experienced hell there. Luckily it’s all cleared up now, no animosity from anyone I saw and most assume I’m French or American a lot of the time because of how they perceive those countries to look. You should take a trip back it should be much easier now. Cheers mate!

[@Worldofourown2024]

@@wehatethecold Yes, I'd expect there's not as much harsh feelings today about the war as is the case with Vietnam. Cambodia was still creepy in 2008 when I went the first time where there was a sense of terror, but not terrorists nor bandits. It's unsettling how today there are so wars brewing in a garden of fear that is our brave new world from America to Europe to Asia. Most people don't want great troubles, but they're caused by evil agendas carried out by evil people in politics and business

[@untouchablelah]

I like that you don't put your camera in everybody's face. The videos looks more natural and show a lot of respect 🙏

[@wehatethecold]

I try to avoid it a lot because a lot of people don’t want to be on camera and you can tell when they don’t. Some people are completely fine and you can really tell when they are too. Hard to judge sometimes but when they don’t I always try to pull away and put it on my face instead

[@untouchablelah]

@wehatethecold Thank you for showing parts of my country that I wouldn't ever see. My dad was part of the royal army, and I'm glad you are explaining the history.

[@wehatethecold]

⁠@@untouchablelahawesome man I bet he’s got a world of stories about the war I’d love to hear them but I know most people don’t like to talk about stuff like that

[@jerryking3216]

Hopefully you and Mike Okay can do travel vlog together. I love both of you guy's content. Both brits, one reside in Thailand, another one Vietnam🤭

[@samaysomsanit7986]

It’s amazing how you can speak Thai 🇹🇭 because Laotian people understand Thai language because of its similarities ❤️

[@wehatethecold]

Yeah it’s awesome man I’m so glad I can travel both places very freely

[@bartrandsnappy]

Just got half way through this and things look familiar. Is it repeat footage?

Don't drink spirits whilst there buddy

[@wehatethecold]

@@5tevenH no worries mate I barely drink if I do it’s a beer or 2. Crazy what happened in Vang Vieng

[@lukeholland7147]

Yay he got gloves good on you bro

[@J_River]

Wow! I don’t know that Laos have war too, they seem silent and controlled by the Vietnamese. No offence, but if those soldier have escaped into Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge might kill some too because of the civil war and also the Vietnamese invasion. It’s a sad story for Laos. I really interested and want to learn more from. Your adventures is inspiring and good to watch.

[@stevhc]

Being a late biker I am jealous of your journey but not that brave enough to do it. Far play mate

[@wehatethecold]

@@stevhc thanks mate! You can get out there and do it. The Korean guy I met was smashing it out at 64!

[@benleno]

Is this a repeat?

[@wehatethecold]

It’s a condensed re-edit to try reach a bigger audience with some bonus scenes added. I posted about it on the community page
