i love Laos been many times... but am unsure of the visa situation. $300 for that house would seem expensive.... i have a house in Siem Reap city for $230
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8PF5e344rGI.html Chris is a great person to sort any visa needs you may have. Unfortunately, much of the housing footage has GoPro sound issues or I'd be able to show you more options. There's plenty from the $200-300 range and some nice options for two bedroom houses for closer to $100. Come brother, you could live for the same or cheaper in a place with far more to offer.
That Cambodian-Lao border is notoriously challenging with the Cambodian side, but I don't think there's an issue with bikes from Cambodia unlike the situation with Vietnamese licensed bikes being denied and if they do get in then are still denied registration here.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8PF5e344rGI.html Only change is Lao decided to give out 60 day visas on arrival till the end of this year with one 30 day extension then will go back to the original 30 days on arrival as Chris explains in this video.
Absolutely no crime like that here. I don’t know why either, but perhaps she’s young and being extra cautious. Nobody getting assaulted, mugged, pick pocketed or bag swiped. Motorcycles are the most likely thing to be stolen and maybe stuff from your home because they can see when you’re not around but this not a big problem other than in Vientiane. Luang Prabang is a nice small town with no worries.
Yeah in Vientiane my wife got here gold necklace snatched. 😔 but in Luang Prabang it seems the crime is not as bad as in Vientiane but in general Laos doesn’t have much crime I feel
If you like my videos please leave a comment to let me know or support the channel on Patreon. :) Special thank you to everyone still watching even with GoPro audio issues I've tried to fix. Only the best quality going forward with a new camera and mic arriving tomorrow! Please don't forget to hit that LIKE button, it really does make a difference in pushing the video and channel to a wider audience. Thanks a ton for the support y'all!
I’m crushed. Have all this incredible content, but even using all the post editing tools possible the sound still isn’t good. Common problem with the GoPro and there’s no fix. Only choice now is to scrap all that old content and use my phone. No point in making a great video with trash audio.
Sign me up for coolest most extreme adventure possible in Luang Namtha please.;) How can I contact you? I want to go and make some awesome videos for the people on RU-vid interested in jungle trekking in Laos.
Great thumbnail. Easy to follow. More like this! At the end of the video, I like the end screen so I can watch more of your content. More girls please!
Lao government paid you guys to do this? I will not live under an oppressive, communist rules. Why don’t you explain to your viewers the level of corruption, how you can be fined and pick up by the police for any reasons.
Lao in your name, but not your heart. Whatever bad happened to somebody in the past isn't the present and it's disgusting to me that so many Lao folks abroad spread misinformation and fearmongering about your own homeland. How does anything get better by shitting on it? Do something positive brother!Make that difference and change can happen, but whatever you think you know, it's the past, and nobody is getting picked up by the police for nothing. Corruption exists wherever there is power to be gained and no government is better at manipulating the minds of their people than the U.S.A. I'll take the low level corruption here to the poison you're given in the U.S.A in your food, your drugs, and media any day.
@@LaoLegends Misinformation and fearmongering? Look around you, who owns businesses, real estate, land including land once publicly owned land, farmers land confiscated by government and sold (lease) to highest bidders, land and water contamination throughout the country. Why don’t you tell your viewers about the healthcare system, education system, poverty levels, unemployment (almost 1 million young Lao migrated to Thailand for work). Tell your viewers about the roads conditions in the rainy season, oh hell, tell them about the dust in dry season. How about foreign tourists are just ATM machines for local authorities. Now who the hell wants to retire there. Lao citizens are turning into 2nd class citizens in their own country and this dude is promoting this and thinking it’s positive. How about telling your viewers the debts accumulated by this incompetent government to China and Vietnam. Oh, how about Lao currency and it’s on the blink of bankruptcy. Read up on these topics and tell me it’s misinformation and fearmongering.
@@LaoLegends Lao is in my name. Lao is in my heart, I know my past. My conscience is clear, unlike you and your ancestors I don’t sell my soul in hope of becoming an infamous legend. Good luck “off spring of Lao treasonist cowards”
@@BenjiZiggy you can extend a tourist visa for a max stay of 90 days in the country. No need to leave. Just go to the immigration police, its very easy
Found classroom language learning mostly ineffective. Create a language learning plan around what learning methods work for you based on your interests. I’ve found food has always been a great place to start in any language. We all love food, especially Lao food, and you have to talk about it countless times every day. I’d recommend youtube.com/@laoswithdalivanh?si=geLxnF64iR-Nb4YI First, I tune my ear to the language with lots of listening then try to mimic those things. Learn to read and write at the same time as it speeds up the learning process in the long run plus gives you the proper foundation. I'm working on my own through materials I enjoy then meeting with a one on one tutor with a specific task I want to master and going through questions from my study. Plan to make videos of foundational phrases to help. :)
You'd be correct. :) GoPro was busted up by thieves, but got it back and the sound has been messed up. Without the funds to get a new camera I've had to use post edit tools to eliminate the unwanted sounds, but that in turn means my voice is the only sound and it's very challenging to get a consistent sound level. People have complained about background noise in the past so no trouble hearing what I'm saying now, but thinking I might have to use my old Iphone to film after I've salvaged all this footage I have as the normal everyday sounds are part of the experience. :)
facebook.com/laosvis Contact Chris Barth. You can extend twice either through an agent or going to the immigration office yourself in whatever city your staying.
Let's compare the Chinese people and Lao people. The Chinese are high educated people. They know how to do business. The Lao people are low educated. 95% Lao adults have never touched a computer before. They use paper and pen to write down information. It's old fashioned way. 95% Chinese adults are technologically advanced. They know how to operate a computer. They know how to build trains, cars, and bridges. Lao people? Not so much.
How could I forget. I told everybody about this RU-vidr I met on Don Det and the tip for editing the music under 8 seconds. Also, still think you got it right using your phone to do it all. So grateful we met and you were so kind to share your knowledge with me. Keep killing it out there brother!
Would be real cool to see somewhere out there restore it so the Lao people have a working truck to help those in need. The video of the restoration would make plenty to pay the restorer. Or perhaps a restore and sell to raise funds for building libraries in remote locations.
Thanks for watching!

If translated literally it would be "take + kind + each + number + classifier". For example, "I'll take one kilo of each." would be ao + yaang + la + 1 + loo (or kiloo).
