MY FIRST TIME in LAOS 🇱🇦 Vientiane is SO Undiscovered

[@soisoi5764]

Hi Zane, I’m Lao American 🇺🇸 living in USA for long time. I live in California 44 years. Last time I went back to my hometown was 2013. I am jealous of you being there 😅😅😅. I really want to go back home but I don’t have time and enough money to go spend like you for now. However, thank you for sharing this video. I also subscribe you as well.

[@Dan-uc7vl]

I hope you can make it back to visit your homeland one day. Beautiful country

You should go visit once. $1600 for ticket, everything else is cheap. I will be back for the 4th time. All of Southeast Asia is beautiful.

Probably my favorite country in SE Asia. Disclaimer: I was only in Vientiane for 1 week and luckily made a couple new foreign friends and domestic ones too so I might be bias. I happen to look like the locals too so my experience may differ. It was cleaner than I thought it would be but certain parts were very dark at night but I never felt unsafe. It was hotter than Vietnam and Cambodia, I had to stop walking every 10 minutes because that heat was boiling me alive. The bar/club scene is smaller than the other SE Asian countries but it had a really cool and fun vibe. The locals were very friendly and a decent amount of people could speak English. Be ready to visit a crap load of temples and for a person who doesn't care much for religion it was culturally an amazing experience for me. I think having met and hung out with good friends made Laos that much more enjoyable for me. BeerLaos is awesome!

@@djsash2543 Laos, is the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR or LPDR), is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia. At the heart of the Indochinese Peninsula, Laos is bordered by Myanmar and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the southeast, and Thailand to the west and southwest. P. S. Laos is correct.

Great video! Lived in Vientianne for a year, daytime is mostly quiet but the city rises when the sun goes down. The trash must be from Pimai, don't remember the streets being dirty. I know a few people who had mines etc. exploding while playing in the fields as a kid, mostly southern Laos, but yes, it's still dangerous out there. Enjoy the trip!

I am a Swiss-Indonesian origin, was there in February 2024 and was really hot. I was almost all alone walking in Vientiane at noon. I was walked hours until I finally found a sim card. I enjoyed my time in Vientiane, then I went to Vang Vieng for some nights and continued to Luang Prabang. Back to Vientiane and flew to Bangkok.

If you aren’t using WiFi turn it off when you aren’t using it. Searching for a WiFi signal can make your phone overheat.

[@alaninouye4195]

I was in Laos a bit over a year ago. I was there in Dec/Jan and it was like 80F and beautiful. The COPE center is near the two big shopping malls in Vientiane. However there is also a landmine education center in Luang Prabang, just slightly away from the main old town area.

Vientiane is very nice for a capital city, but not very geared toward tourists (like where I live in Phnom Penh). I found Luang Prabang to be very nice, but also super touristy. I really enjoyed the more subtle feel of Luang Namtha more. Vang Vieng felt like a nightmare though.

The dish is Lab Mo (in thai) you get it there too :), mint (or eucalyptus not sure), minced pork, chili, thai-onion or normal onion, and fried crushed rice powder(if you feel something hard when you chewing), and other spices.

[@chadjiansinlapadamrong]

Nah. He had beef (most likely water buffalo meat) larb, not pork.

[@djsash2543]

@@chadjiansinlapadamrong yes, but thai does not pronounce the "R" in Thailand sot Larb= Lab, mo is pork, it look like beef so probably Larb - xxx ;) gotcha! Also they speak Thai in Lao.

[@SteveBNFASIA]

Laab nua in Laos, moo is pork, nua is beef.

[@Alexsdam]

All the foreign banks are there for investment opportunities. Local Laos bank are not there as they do not have anough capital to act as one. Basically the same happens in Cambodia where the Chinese are everywhere. For example all public transport is "sponsored"by China, you see that message on the busses in Pnomh Penh for example.

[@fredwang6354]

If you are unsure about the money exchange at the airport just try to find a Bank at Vientiane airport there are at least a few but the exchange rate might not be as good as at a Bank in Vientiane City so just exchange for your immediate needs and much more at a Bank in town. This saves you the agony of fretting about it and gives you peace of mind thank you very much and enjoy your evening

To the question why there are so many banks on the Lanexang Avenue in your VDO, it’s because the area is the financial center in our country. Most of major banks have their headquarters in this area

[@OrChanthachak]

The street you walk look dirty because its after Lao New Year. They haven’t cleaned it yet. And most of people went to their hometown during this period and less people in the city.

[@andybaker2456]

Part of the charm of Laos as a tourist destination is that it's not Thailand! Building a shiny mall and skyscraper on every corner doesn't make it a developed country, developing an infrastructure of decent health care, and a good standard of living and social care for all does. You'll see when you go to Luang Prabang that in terms of being a tourist destination, it needs to remain as the wonderful town it already is.

Too bad Laos lacks all you consider aspects of a developed country.

Wow thanks for taking us along on this journey. I don’t know much about Laos but I think its lovely that they can relax a little at a carnival like the one you came upon. Our country needs to pay reparations to many. Probably one of the major powers that will be like “ oh sorry we were wrong now lets move on” and do nothing to right the wrongs theyve commited. It’s very shameful.
