Sabaidi and welcome back to another video from Laos! In this video we are exploring the beautiful city of Luang Prabang. We are so excited to be here and give you guys our first impressions.
Luang Prabang is a city located in northern Laos at the heart of a mountainous region, built on a peninsula formed by the Mekong and the Nam Khan River. We spent our first day here exploring the temples, walking along the rivers edge, and having our first hot pot experience!

It really is a beautiful country! So happy we were able to bring back some of those memories for you ! Thanks for the sweet comment!

I'd forgotten what it was like to walk over the bamboo bridge and around Wat Xieng Thong but watching this was just like being there again. Beautiful video and the local music is perfect 🦚
So glad we could bring you back! Thanks friend for the great compliment 👊
Great video love Laos thank you so much for sharing.
Our pleasure! We love Laos too! Thanks for watching!
That waiter looked so friendly! I would be completely lost with all those ingredients on the table, but after his explanation it all made sense..😅 The lights on the bamboo bridge look so cool at night ☺.. Loving the Laos series!
He was super helpful, we would have been lost as well! So glad you are enjoying the series 🤗
Looks beautifully unique there! Thanks for sharing
Exactly right 😍 Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thank you very much for this glimpse of home Luang Prabang. I've lived there twice in the past 8 years of teaching and volunteering in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. I didn't make it on a flight from Siem Reap, Cambodia back to LPB before the Pandemic travel restrictions began. Been waiting here for the possibility of a flight out for almost two years now. I've eaten and watched movies many times at the place you had breakfast and visited all the temples in this video. I miss and hope to be there again.
Thanks for sharing Teacher Kim! So lucky for you to spend so much time there! Hopefully you will be back very soon 🤞Thanks for watching!
Love hot pots! Great video guys 🤙🤙💖💖
We are fans now as well! Thanks 🤗
My fiancé is from Laos and her family are first generation here in the states. The people are absolutely amazing kind hearted souls. We plan on visiting next year. Great video!
You said it perfectly! Amazingly kind hearted souls is right 💜 Have an amazing trip! So excited to you guys!
I love watching your laos videos. I went through all of it.
Thanks for the uploads, brings back memories from 20 yeas ago for me . It’s still got that laid-back feeling and peace on earth if there is such a thing . I remember doing A kayaking Day down the river that was a great adventure, stoping at some very spiritual caves . Also taking a boat out at sunset to see the Mekon Dolphins. Maybe that was further north . Any way enjoy yourself and make the most of your trip . Thanks 🙏
So glad we could bring back those incredible memories! Sounds like an amazing trip you had! Thanks for sharing Sid!
Lots of wonderful memories… hope you get a chance to relax at the Utopia… there are also a couple of day-hikes in the countryside through rural villages and rubber plantations that end at one of the waterfalls. We enjoyed the hiking with the waterfalls as an ending rather than just driving to the waterfalls. Glad you are enjoying one of my favorite spots. We enjoyed dinner at Cafe Tuoi as well. Enjoy!
Thanks Ken! We do go on a few pretty incredible hikes in Laos, one in particular that probably makes our top 5 hikes ever...stay tuned for those videos :) Next week is the classic Kuang Si Waterfalls 🤗
@@SammyandTommy Yes, I'm sure the video will be enjoyable and looking forward to seeing it. Tad Sae waterfall is the other one. For our hiking tour before getting to Tad Sae, we hiked through a rubber plantation and a couple of remote villages with lunch in one of the villages. It was quite enjoyable. Looking forward to getting back to Luang Prabang in 2023.
Luang Prabang is a quiet small town. I like my solitude by the Mekong River among the thick banana trees and swaying palm. My math high school teacher from Seattle WA USA retired in Luang Prabang many years ago
Loved your videos. I have never been to Laos and love to go there one day. Cheers 👍
Thanks Steven! You definitely need to visit! Thanks for commenting 👊

Nice video. I love it!
Thanks Suay 💜
Nice video, I was born there but because of the war, my family moved to Thailand and ended up in the United States. I had vivid memories of Luang Prabang as we left when I was around 6 years old. Keep more vids coming

Your videos are so inspiring, and Luang Prabang looks like an amazing place to stay. Which other place in Laos do you recommend as a base if we have two weeks to spend in Laos?
Thanks so much Gerald! Luang Prabang was great but I really enjoyed staying in Nong Khiaw and Muang Ngoy! Make sure you watch our Pha Dang Peak, and Laos with a local videos to give you an idea! Thanks!

Loved your video. Beautifully shot. Have plans to visit luang prabang. Do the locals accept use or one has to change into local currency. Plz tell. Happy journey.
Thanks so much! So excited for you to enjoy! We try and always use the local currency 👍
Just came across your channel, really like you style and edits. When was this filmed in Laos?
Thanks for making our day 👊 This was filmed in January 2020 👍
Really great video I’m enjoying the Laos 🇱🇦 playlist so much ..can I ask what time of year this was ?..
Thanks so much! We loved our time there! More videos to come! We were in Laos in January 👍
@@SammyandTommy thanks for the reply.. Looks great we're thinking of heading that way over Christmas 22 so thanks for the heads up 🙏
You will love it! Have a fantastic time!
What do You guys use for a camera and video software? Very nice 👍
Thanks so much Doug! Here is our gear-list: www.sammyandtommy.com/our-gear

We hope you can return soon , thanks so much for watching!
You are my FC I follow you every videos
You're too sweet! Thanks so much 🤗
@@SammyandTommy How can I chat to you?, because I am studying English in Vientiane.I want to practice my English and I want to native speakers friends
10:24 Pedestrian crossings are not a concept!
LUANG PRABANG - my favourite place!
den sabai restaurant
12:10 Get a Lao person to do the cooking! It's easier! (Lao BBQ dii laiy laiy!)
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing Nick! Good suggestion for Lao BBQ! Thanks for watching 🍻
Welcome to the ancient capital of Lan Xang. Former home of the Jade Buddha that is now in Bangkok.
Thank you! 🤗
Sammy, did you guys just got in Laos March 2022…? How’s difficulty in Laos during these times.? I’m sure never feel hungry Cause foods everywhere and every place.. tell me see how was it. Plan my next trip to Thailand and Laos.
Hi! This video was filmed pre-pandemic. We are working hard to get all caught up :)
2.43 what the people was doing there ?
Not understand from where was the harmonica lady !
We learned they were actually panning for gold. We saw this all along the Mekong, very interesting. The lady playing the accordion was from France, she played so beautifully!
@@SammyandTommy ,thanks !🙏
Many French expats live in Luang Prabang.
Which Maekhong river cruise service did you take? Thank you.
We went with Nagi of Mekong and they should resume cruises this summer!!
@@SammyandTommy Thank you.
Great video :) I'm hoping to get back to Laos at the end of this year on the way to Australia, if they're allowing tourists back in by then. I've been to Vientiane and surrounds before, but this time am aiming for Luang Prabang. One question: how did you find the mosquito situation there? Everywhere seems to recommend malaria tablets for basically anywhere outside of Vientiane, so did you take them/have issues?
Thanks Greg! Let’s hope you can make that trip happen 🤞 We had zero issues with mosquitos but it might depend on the season.
@@SammyandTommy What time of year were you there?
We went in January so you should be good but doesn’t hurt to be prepared just in case 👍 Have an awesome trip!
@@SammyandTommy Thanks, and thanks for the feedback!
Never had any problems with mosquitoes in all my previous trips to Vientiane or Luang Prabang.
Do you remember the name of the hot pot restaurant?
Welllllllll ! how was the food ?
Haha it was fabulous Doug , unlike our skills in capturing that moment ....sorry to leave you hanging like that 😅
เป็นวีดีโอที่หาชมได้ยากขอบคุณสำหรับการแบ่งปัน
ขอบคุณมาก 💜
if u walk a bit farther than dien sabai u pass my old house lol
That's awesome haha Thanks for sharing!
I’m pretty sure it’s Sabaidee not sawasdee in Laos
Yup yup, you are correct sir! That's what we were aiming for but our pronunciation...welll it could be better haha 😵💫
Sabaidee is the word for hello in Laos.
@@SammyandTommy I like the small town feel of Luang Prabang. The mountains and rivers in the background give you a mystic feel. The solitude by the Mekong River made me fell in love with town.
Laotian population around the world Laotian language Laotian culture Laotian DNA 90 million
Laos only
The bamboo bridge was washed away in last rain season and is still out. The video looks old, are you hyping?
Aw bummer to hear that! Our videos were filmed pre-pandemic, we hope to be caught up soon! Film dates should be in most description boxes , hope that helps
@@SammyandTommy Whew, for a moment thought that tourists were coming back which would have meant re-opened borders
Nice video but drone shots so close to an international airport. WTF.
Very too long the part with the french lady
