National Geographic the temple and Kuang Si Waterfall. I’m Lao but I haven’t been back to Laos yet. Someday I will come visit. It’s beautiful Mother Nature. Thank you for sharing
Those are some really fine detailed carvings and mosaic designs. Glad the 16th century temple managed to survive through tough times for us to still be able to appreciate its beauty to this day. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
Happy to hear that you had the opportunity to visit Louangphrabang, Anthony! We hope you were able to relive some of your experiences through this video.
I will be there within 2 months, looking forward to it and I will be traveling up and down before I will be there for a month. Thanks for video and then informations.
If you wanna get away from modern, hectic stressful city life. Laos will be paradise for your get away. ..a place where it feels like time stand still. It's another place and time.
Laos, then part of French Indochina (and defended by Vichy French troops, including local colonial troops) was attacked and occupied by the Thai army in January 1941 during the Franco-Thai War that ended later that month. Resistance from the Vichy French defenders was reportedly minimal, and the Thai's gained control of the territory without much opposition. A large number of French Foreign Legion troops, taken prisoner during the invasion of Laos by the Thais, refused to be repatriated at the end of the war and decided to settle down in Thailand. Those French French Foreign Legion troops apparently recognized the benefits of Laotian living! Fun Fact: Vientiane was bombed by the Thai air force during the Franco-Thai War.
Thais pretend to be good guys taking in refugees, while they was doing all the bombing to Vietnam,Laos and Cambodia. Karma caught up to Thailand, now their country is in chaos, turmoil and #1 crime country in all Asean.
