This Couple Moved To Laos 🇱🇦 

I went to Laos and Thailand in 2018 with my grandmother (she is now a US citizen, born in northern Laos) and my mom. I was scared to go because I am black AND Asian. Ever since then, it’s been my dream to move to Laos. I loved it so much there. It makes me so happy seeing people pursue my future plan! I wish them nothing but the best during this journey. They definitely make my dream more convincing haha. Both channels just got a new supporter ❤️🙏

Thanks for a great video; good conversation. I visited Lao, my birth country a couple of months ago since I left 44 years ago. I know how the westerners spelled Laos, but I’m dropping the “S” and pronounce it correctly per my native tongue; same thing with Vieng Chan. Anyway, together with my Cambodian American husband, we also visited his birth country in 44 years since he left, just like me. OMG, compare to Cambodia we fell IN LOVE with Lao ❤️😍💕. We love the slower pace of lif 21:57 e and the chilled attitude of Khon Lao. So, we’ll choose Lao over Cambodia when the time comes. Right now still have to send two children to college 1st, which would be in 15 years. Since we came back we have been day dreaming about retiring there, and looking forward to make Lao & Cambodia our yearly trip now. Happy New Year 🎊🎆

Looks like a great night market there in Vientiane. Happy travels ! -- James

What a great conversation and interesting way of living! Laos is a charming and a simply beautiful place to live ❤ Can’t wait to go back home

Great friendship conversation,I want to move to Laos.

Great video!

Dennis you have a good sense of humor & your communication skills is 👍🏻

i really enjoy watching you guys talking

Would you eat “dancing shrimp”? I’ll make a video of us eating this yummy dish (😂) if we get 8 likes on this video! 💃🏻🕺🏻🦐✌️

Great video have been going back to visit family in Laos for the last 20 years,plans to retire in Laos in the future

Wow! I came from the same town that she mentioned. It's my childhood banh too.

I really like this video and all the information. I'm Lao, who left with family in 1977 but have not gone back since. I'm living here in Atlanta and would really appreciate a video or information on how to visit Lao (passport, visa, etc.). I visited Bangkok last year, and that was as close as I got.

Hi Dennis...I was afraid that this video meant you and Amanda had moved permanently to Laos. I haven't been on RU-vid for quite a while so I am wondering if you guys are just on vacation or planning on moving to Laos. What a lovely couple, this video was so informative yet wonderfully upbeat. Safe travels and btw I am subscribing to this couples new channel. Anxious to see how their restoration of the home is turning out.

Yes, I hate rushing in Sydney, Australia....I might come and live in " PLEASE DON'T RUSH and slow life country.😂😂😂🤙🤙🤙..thank you guys!

Haha thanks for having us on the channel. Give that comment 8 likes, you won’t regret getting access to that video, especially if Kats reaction is in it😂

Good video..👍👍

Let’s take a vote and choose one. The following are the names which Vientiane (Intl Officially being used today) have been called in the past: Mueang PaiNamh (ເມືອງໄຜ່ໜາມ), Mueang Sisattana Khanahoot (ເມືອງສີສັດຕະນະຄະນະຮຸດ), Mueang ViangChan (ເມືອງວຽງຈັນ). I am voting for PaiNamh (The Walled Thorny Bamboo City).😊

On day I would like to go visit Lao too..

I love to see how far the That Luang economic zone coming ?

Nice

Possible video idea: traveling in Laos with no family to stay with and how to stay safe as someone that doesn’t speak Laos fluently. I only understand the very basics haha

Arkansan in the house...been here almost a month.

good conversations not about to give up my Canadian citizenship for birth right but nice to know there is that option I know that the visa rules for a Lao born has improved since around two years ago I saw a parliamentary video on youtube... they are trying to improve visa for all foreigners hope it works out

Please tell me how they get a long term stay in Laos? I am interested. Thank you

It’s great for a young people to do what you guys are doing. But for old folks, you have to think about your health as well. Medical care in Laos or Thailand is on cash only. It isn’t cheap. No cash, no treatment.

Lots of people in USA travel to Asia and people know Laos its 2023 not 1999. 😂😅

How do you get a fast laos passport? If you plan to travel within 2 months.

Question to Lao Ocean, can u speak Lao and where do u grow up? And what yours real name

Khao Jee Pate is literally mean bread bread. Khao Jee is a Lao word for Bread, Pate is a French word for bread.

Vientiane is a French given name, Vieng Chan or Vieng Jan is the original names for the capital city for some reason Lao overseas they pronounced Vientiane lol. Laotian is also a French given name for Lao people formerly known as Ai Lao people the largest ethnic groups of people in the World originated from Altaic mountain, Mongolia they been living in China since the Neolithic period in around 12th century large numbers of Lao people migrated from Kunming, China to modern day Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. Lan Xang kingdom was named after Lan Cang river in Yunnan, China. China, Hainan Island, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Northeast India, Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Philippines was actually founded by Lao descendants. Lao Sze Sichuan, Nanping Lao, Lao Yunnan, Lao Shanghai, Lao Beijing, Mulao, Gelao, Gelong, Dong, Sui, Bouyei, Rau, Zhuang, Dai, Tai, Thai, Kra-Dai, Tai-Kadai, Yue, Baiyue, Yayoi, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipinos are Lao descendants. Genetic studies. A 2007 analysis of the DNA recovered from human remains in archeological sites of prehistoric peoples along the Yangtze River shows high frequencies of Haplogroup O1 (Y-DNA) in the Liangzhu culture, linking them to the Austronesian and Tai-Kadai peoples. Feb 06, 2017 Researchers discover Korean genetic roots in 7,700-year-old skull Genetics. DNA research has shown that Sichuanese people are closely genetically related to the Daic (Dai Chinese). Most of central Sichuan was inhabited by the Dai people who formed the serfs class, accounting for the vast majority of the population. Hubei Han show significant evidence of genetic admixture deriving about 63% of ancestry from Tai-Kadai or Austronesian-speaking southern indigenous groups and 37% from Tungusic or Mongolic related northern populations. Han Chinese in Zhejiang and Shanghai have the highest concentration of Kra-Dai types of Y haplotypes among all the Han populations in China, suggesting a possible expansion of Kra-Dai peoples from southern China to Zhejiang via Jiangxi. A haplotype (haploid genotype) is a group of alleles in an organism that are inherited together from a single parent.

Viengchanh.. not Vientiane

I wish the Lao government would granted the people who were born there to be able to buy property in their name and or have dual citizenship, not either or.

All about the visa.

Lao PDR: Lao people don’t rush.

It’s cheap for foreigners, but for Lao people , it isn’t.

ពួកនាក់ទាំងអស់គ្នាហើយខ្ញុំចាប់ផ្ដើមអាយុចូលពាក់កណ្ដាលក្នុងជីវិតរបស់មនុស្សហើយអញ្ចឹងហើយយើងត្រូវតែនាំគ្នាដើរសប្បាយៗក្នុងជីវិតដែលនៅសល់ពាក់កណ្ដាលបន្តទៅទៀត។ 🍜🍜🍛🍦🍷😂

Please don’t use the word “Cheap “, instead use affordable. Laotians would be offended likewise by Singaporeans visiting other countries with strong SG currency .

Hope all is well. I just saw a video by sabbatical about the part of Laos thats ruled by China and how they have us white slaves there. Americans, Taiwanese and some other foreigners are not allowed in there. Interesting...

PLEASE…….pronounce the capital city of Lao correctly!!!!!!! Don’t let foreigners dictate how we as Lao people speak…Veing Chan that is the only way it’s properly pronounced….It’s is so annoying especially coming from a Lao person…STOP

I will visit Laos, but will never live there.

You was kinda close bro but LPDR stands for Lao People Don’t Rush….Moving here from NYC 15 yr’s ago was the best choice I ever made in my life….
