MY FIRST TIME in LAOS 🇱🇦 Vientiane is SO Undiscovered 

Hello Zane, I'm Nasim, an IT undergraduate student living in Afghanistan. As a fluent English speaker with a passion for my country's rich history and stunning landscapes, I'm eager to guide you through Afghanistan's popular attractions. I'm friendly, open to making friends from different cultures, and love communicating with people. Let me show you the beauty and heritage of Afghanistan through a local's eyes.

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.

My parents are from loas and came over to the usa during the Vietnam war as refugees. Thank you for sharing.

Im shocked by the amount of trash everywhere in the city. I hope the city officials there address this problem and bring awareness to the people about keeping their environment clean and tidy!

Thanks to come visit our Country Laos Welcome to a beautiful land and Friendly .

I didn’t expect Laos to be so beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍🥰👏

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!

Dont stress on the money exchange. The most honest people you will ever meet, live in Laos.

We call lapp meat it very favorite lao traditional food. Specially with sticky rice

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.

I'm always waiting for one of your videos to come out 😊 I really enjoy them. Greetings from Costa Rica!

Amazing video 😊😊 love your videos

Finally I’ve been waiting for you to try out another SE Asian country!!!! Yay!!!

WELCOME TO..LAOS

Hey Zane! Thanks for posting this video

Not much going on in Vientiane. Vang vieng is a beautiful spot nearby.

ສະບາຍດີອ້າຍ ❤ welcome to Laos

I am super impressed that you bought that guy a bottle of beer. That is very nice of you.

man that phone ringing in the hotel spooked me, even though my phone sounds nothing like it I thought it was ringing

Welcome to Laos

ສະບາຍດີ ຂອບໃຈທີ່ມາທຽ່ວປະເທດນ້ອຍໆຂອງພວກເຮົາ 🖐️🖐️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

the Indo-China part of South East Asia is currently under severe heat wave… maybe thats why…. This April temperature was a record breaking month indeed.

Pi Mai is Lao new year. Try papaya salad, not same as Thai style. Lao is better. 😊

Whellcome to Laos 🎉❤🎉

Glad it was actually a straw when you sipped that tumeric-carrot shake 😂😅

Wait , where is the video on how you got to Laos … the transit in my favorite part

Its really Nice if u know local...I was there 2 months in VT...I had a really great time there!!! Local show me what's the best thing to do in VT and the popular locals hang out... I had a great time thats i miss out in VV and Luang Prabang the popular spot for foreigner.. 5:42

That’s right my friend. It’s pronounced Lao with NO sound of the “S” 👍✌️have fun with exploring Laos and Lao New Year “Sabaidee pi mai” take care of yourself with the heat 😅

Nothing like a hot cup of coffee to keep you cool.

I have to agree with you about garbage. I was born in Vientiane. When I go visit that’s first thing I saw, is garbage. I wish local people would do something about it. Thank you sharing. Lao food is more spicy than other countries in Southeast Asia.

I wanted to hear more about your brick of Kip

The row of banks could just be the financial district.

The best Som Tam I've ever had was in Laos (Louang Prabang).😀

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.

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.

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.

Hope uou visit cambodia next time

The street cleaner they off after they celebrated they new years

I see you you so handsome i like your eyes ❤❤❤ i like you

Dude, I love it when you visited my city. Love your channel. I'm one of those channels that do Kensington Ave content, but I also walk through the Liberty Bell, Reading Terminal, like you did. Kensington content is getting to dangerous for me.

Regarding the Lao kip I exchanged it in Shanghai airport and the rate was ok compared to the pounds exchange

Hi bro if you can stop by Vangvieng city , that city very beautiful

👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

waterfall in luang praban is the best ever

Beef larb is the best eat with sticky rice n mint.

I miss Laos 🇱🇦

Loa😊

ココナッツにエスプレッソってどんな味か想像できなくて興味あるわー

In Filipino, the word LAOS means "not trendy anymore" or "not popular anymore". 😊

Delicious

I always wonder what you want to do with 4 pillows 😂 my ass allready burns from watching your food haha

Do you always get a local sim card when in a new country? I travel quite a lot and have never bothered. Anyway good luck in Laos.

In Seoul, Laos embassy gives sticker visa to Pakistanis 40US dollars. But it is super easy and I don’t know how long does it take to get the visa.

I'm conflicted about this video 😅. I appreciate the walkthrough but I think it'd be better to show more interesting locations in the city like you're doing it at the end.

Cambodia Real Feel: 115-120F

Here in Australia you would pay $4 for that bottled water !!!! 55000 kip

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.

Which camera do you use bro ?

Laos government kind poor and messes up but laotion people are firnedly and more peacefull if you compare to Thailand

$28.00 dollars for the room and no window and a single bed. You can find way better for that money.

❤🇵🇭

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.

There is still parts of France that is off limits from explosives from WWI and WWII.

ຍິນດີຕ້ອນຮັບເດີ

I watch many videos on laos. Well done, you are the only yank to recognise the bombing by your country,2 tons were dropped per person Unfortunately 33% were left behind. Feel free US to call back and ' clean your shit up' my wife's family are still finding them daily

Indochine is pronounced Indosheen, it's French. Laos was a French protectorate until 1953.

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.

Love your adventures. I live half time in the Philippines. Personal question if you don’t mind. Are you dating ladies as part of your adventures? 😉

Why don’t you get an esim? Maybe also a good partner for your channel ;)

Laos and Vietnam are both underrated countries to visit.

Glad you chose to try Larb, a very popular national dish of Laos. Larb can be made with beef, pork meat, chicken, duck, fish etc. What you ate is beef Larb (Larb siin in Lao). In addition to mint there is also coriander in it, giving that special taste. Lao people usually eat Larb with sticky rice.

do you ever been to Cambodia

10:35 This is when you really know that you're not in Lancaster, PA. 🥵

I think they prefer usd or Thai baht no need to currency exchange

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮

FIRST

I am surprised you are exchanging money and not using a charles Schwab atm card.

Relax, that's a very real airport. No fake money would be allowed to operate inside the airport.

What do you use to find hotels?

Cheapest unlimited sim card that I ever had was Colombia at $2.50usd for one month. Then I went to Italy and it was 50 euro for one month. 😂

Indochina is a coined term for the area being between India and China. The spelling Indochine probably comes from how Thais call China which sounds like Jeen without vibration. French Indochina comprised Cambodia, Laos (from 1899), the Chinese territory of Guangzhouwan (from 1898 until 1945), and the Vietnamese regions of Tonkin in the north, Annam in the centre, and Cochinchina in the south. The capital for most of its history (1902-1945) was Hanoi; Saigon was the capital from 1887 to 1902 and again from 1945 to 1954.

Songkran and pi mai is the same

Actually china vietnam accept kip.thailand recently accept from lao tourists

Vientiane is pronouns Vieng Chanh 👍✌️

$100 US should be about 2 million KIP

Hello

That is night market
