Sabaidee and welcome to my channel....Now in Lao!!
My name is Todd and i am an Australian currently living in Laos with my wife, Neenee.
This is a channel primarily dedicated to Laos and the people who live here, our daily lives and our travels within this amazing country. Thank you for watching and if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask, by either commenting or contacting me via Facebook.
Now in Lao .... Vlogging Laos !!
Music:
There was probably just a helicopter landing area in San Thong since it was so close to Long Tieng and was probably located about 1000' directly north of that karst in the wide flat area with a few buildings .... @6:48 where your location dot is near that 90 degree turn you had to make before going up into the mountains.
A lil thing I missed in the other vids at Long Tieng,while on the strip and looking at the karsts,on top of the mountain to the right (in the area of the Mouak Mt. marker on google maps,about 1500' west) there was another helicopter landing area and you can still see the outlines of earthworks there.
Once I get the chance to move there I think I'll just travel,get a 4x4 pack-mule something like a van or pickup with a bed cap or a vehicle like the one @11:47 would be fine...lol.Would love to import my '68 Bronco,there's one in Bangkok,think it's yellow,white,and blue.Pack it up with water,extra fuel,tools,some water,etc. and just travel and live from it (if not against the law...lol).I've lived,played,and worked (logger) in the woods all my life,I'd love to be out there just traveling those mountains.That route 23? you traveled a lil while back,that would be the type of roads I'd like to travel.
Thanks for the info and great observations mate.
Yes, road 23 was certainly a great adventure, no law against you living like that here.. very few laws actually. 👌 Sounds like a great plan 👍
..and yes, people have imported their own vehicles here 👌
@@NowinLao Great news all around,thx.
if travelling in se asia dont use a bronco.... use a toyota hi-lux with a canopy.... or a D-MAX... you will get fan belts etc anywhere
@@sexygirlove20 Mehhhh,this '68 will go where those Yota's and Dmax's will shit driveshafts...lol
I'd rather spend a few extra $ and have a little wait time getting a part once in a while than spend less on something a lot of times.
You'll never see a POS GM in my driveway,they're not made to take abuse...never have been,never will.
I was born in Laos in a Hmong village but raised in Hawaii and I will say Hmong girls are beautiful
Which means you haven’t seen Chinese Mongolian Japanese Korean Vietnamese Cambodian Thai Lao Mien LaHoo 😂
@@franchisefred4066 I've seen them all, hawaii has lots of Asian people from all over the world
Hmong girls mostly are naturally beautiful with no surgery like Chinese and Korean girls.
@@hmoobmevkaum8628 stop lying to yourself Yasmi PajYa 😂😂😂
It's a fairy-tale Hmoob village, so beautiful and everyone seem so relax with the community. Todd, you and Neenee keeps finding these little gem village that nobody outside of LAOS has seen. Keep up the great photography...it feels like I'm there with you guys.
It really is. There's no other way to describe it. As soon as we rounded the bend and saw the village nestled in the valley, we just knew it was something special. The village gave off a very relaxed friendly and carefree vibe 💚 Magic 💚
Great video Todd and Neenee. I've heard from the Hmong elders about Sam Thong but I've never seen it. Thanks for capturing the beauty of this place. The Hmong elders has left this world but not the memories they shared with us.
Absolute God's country up there. 👌💚👍
Thank you
JUST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE AND PEOPLE IN LAO. Hmong are sweet people of the Earth.
That episode brought tears to my wife’s eyes. She said that you make her country look so beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you, but I don't have to do anything, Laos IS beautiful 💚
Take care guys and hopefully you can visit soon 🙏
Such a beautiful village and epic road to get there. I love the map of the village that included "kid throwing rock at buffalo".....nice comedic touch.
Finally somebody mentioned that! Thank you Chris 😋👍
Wow!! .... Very beautiful little village ,and a bit of a swimming section there as well....kool Kenno..West Aust
Yes. So beautiful scenery again and again. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Todd.. and..Neenee... what..a.. beautiful, village..in..the..middle..of..the..country..side..and..simple..life..no..worried..mate..😊😊😊
Oh my gosh! Todd and Nini, 44 years ago, I was born in Nam Siam. You brought tears to my eyes when you reached my birth town.
Just gets better. My god this land is still beautiful beyond words. Laos.
very nice place.... those people would be soooo much happier than anyone living in australia
Thank you for showing us a beautiful Hmong village. Laos is so beautiful away from the big cities. That village was beautiful with the mountains all around it. I am Hmong and seeing you go visit my people is special. I only remember little about village life. Your past videos about the airport, General Vang Pao, etc...were great too. One day, I'll visit Laos and see the beauty of it. The people might be poor but they are rich with the simplicity of life, humility, etc....
Keep up the good work.....
Thank you 🙏
Even the dogs look happy and healthy.
Nice one as usual... Thumbs up M8...
Such a beautiful village… I promise once I go visit Laos again I’ll go visit it… thanks for the beautiful video ✌️✌️
beautiful country side 💞💓🥰🤗👌💪👍

Superb vlog mate
Brilliant video of a simple way of life. Thanks, Todd and NeeNee.
Thank you John 🙏
Qué bonito paisaje de Laos
So simple and so beautiful ❤️
What a beautiful village. I can see me retiring there.
so beautiful place 😊
Todd, The landscapes that you have traveled in Lao never gets boring to us. Between the mountains, the greenery and the villages. Your doing the work vlogging, Harriet and I are sitting on our
couch watching it. As always. the pictures are just stunning. All the best 👍👍👍. Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.
I would have to agree.... Totally beautiful village!
Beautiful land, violent history that I hope is getting well behind us. Excellent job on the vblog.
Great song at the end.
Todd, This road starting from Capital Vientiane to Km52, Then go to Ban Xua (Nas Xu) to Xay Somboun to Long Tieng and end at village SamThong only, From village Samthong to Xieng Khouang just builded after CIA and we leaves the country. (Vang from Green Bay, WI.)
Nice place, life’s do simple, stay safe…🤙🏼
Another great video up in the hills,So much history that was hidden from the outside World by our protectors in Langley, Hmmm
There's always something special about kids and water. Great trip thru beautiful countryside. Thanks for sharing your efforts to bring unusual content to most. Bushyboy Oz.
awesome
Good morning young man!
Hope you enjoy the trip and share the builty of laos.
Well I love the Mountains
Absolutely loved the content of this video. It is what rural Loas is. When we travel there, how to say this, we hit tourist spots. You know, kwangsee, vangvieng, a cave here and there. Not that I'm complaining but I do like simple so I do like the farms. Keep up the country vids. So cool.
What a neat village - Quality footage - Thanks T 🍺👍😎👌🙏
Thanks ANT 🙏
Brought back so much great childhood memories
Great to hear 🙏
I'm surprised there's any suspension left on your wheels but good thing there is when you discover such delights as this. 👍👍😊
Man you have been travel in Laos more then me. I was born in Laos, But didn't travel that much. Even in Australia for 40 years I didn't go any where much, always work and work came home sleep, what hard life here.
A little slippery... I actually laughed. The oui oui oui bit....
Fish
A truly beautiful village. Must have been hectic during the war.
Very true.. trapped between Long Tieng and the Phatet Lao in Phonsavan it would've seen lots of conflict. Stunningly beautiful and peaceful place now though 🙏
Sam Thong was built first as the base, but somehow it got moved to Long Tieng. I was just a kid and have very little or no memory of the reason why.
My cousin was born in Sam Thong 3 days before general Vang Pao was airlifted to Thailand from Long Cheng. My uncle was a nurse who worked for general Vang Pao, he and his family were also airlifted to Thailand. My father and his 5 brothers were left behind and they fought the communists until 1980. They made the long march toward Thailand.
What a pretty village. I want to visit when Covid is over!
Even prettier being there Kay 🙏
thumbs up
Hi Todd. Have you told Neenee how many dirt roads we have in Australia? Damn those mountain areas are just so beautiful! Cheers mate.
Gotta love 4 wheel drive!!!! Would send you a picture of my setup. But dont want to make you jealous! :)
It's the only way to see this incredible country properly 👌
Sure, would love to see your 4x4 😁👍
Incredible natural beauty, that perhaps God willing I will have the opportunity to view with my own eyes...Thanks for taking us on the journey. Cheers 🙏🙏
I hope you can too Billy 🤞
@@NowinLao thank you for what you do for us and Especially Me… just at the door and seeing when I can walk thru and with whom in tow.. stay safe & well Todd and of course with NeeNee too🙏🙏🍻
Once again,my friend,,I concur! The area that little Hmong village is in,,is gorgeous,,,very nice. Was the market big enough to survive? Lol. The muddy road up and down the hills reminded me of the logging roads my Uncles taught me to drive on between 11 and 13 years old. Was a superb chilled vid,,,will help me sleep tonight. Thanks Todd,,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
It bring tears to my eyes to see my people back in asia, for i know i have better opportunitys and a different life.
Lao is too beautiful 😻
Todd great stuff! That is or was Phu Bia's MEPA. I worked there abit.
A friendly suggestion about music - Lao Music please. Definitely Sao Xieng Khwang!
Keiran Logan, and the song "Moon Hark Xao Long Cheng" is also very good and popular too.
Todd Hales: Guinness Book of record best tour of Laos.
The reason I subscribe to your channel is because you take my mind to places I can't afford to go to. My Father spent a lot of time in that Region where you are during the War and I always wanted to know what it was like for him and the people who live there. Maybe one day I might be able to afford to go, but for the time being your exploration's are helpful and answers some of my question's.
Thank you, I'm glad I can be of service and you're enjoying the channel. Hopefully you'll be able to experience it yourself one day. Sokdee 🙏
Saint Paul, Minnesota is Hmong Paradise 2.
Fresno California is Hmong Hollywood 🤭
Some Ppl from CA said Fresno was ghetto.
Just want to be those kids playing in the river, stress free!!!
Yes! How happy they are 👍
I love the natural Laos landscape and the living style of the people.
If not of Colonisation that came to steal, Destroy and Bombard them, Laos standard would have been greater. But thank God the people have accepted their Faith and living Happily.

What a beautiful place to live, great place to retire too. You'd have to have a truck and a Motor cycle. Or ever a quad.
@12:50 The hmong girl in the hmong traditional clothes looks like they going to her wedding at the bride’s house or coming back from her wedding to the groom house
Wow talk about in the middle of nowhere this town takes the cake for in the middle of woop woop. 😅😅😅
Definitely beautiful country around that village. Understand why so many trucks in Laos.
Sam Thong or later was named Thongsayanakhon ທອງໄຊຍະນະຄອນ by the King was the administrative civil base of the province of Xieng khuang and Long Tieng was the military base.
13:00 looks like they're on their way back or to a Hmong wedding.
The age of these kids driving motorbikes is crazy. You confused me Todd when you said Long Gone, I thought that was the name of a town there. Hahahahaha Take care guys. Cheers!!!
Well it kinda does fit in with Longxane and Long Tieng, yeah why not Long Gone 😝👍
Wouldn’t want to run that road in the rainy season
Why do I live in Chicago? Such a beautiful place!
I grew up in that country with war torn era since birth to 17 yrs of age. Age 15 took up m16, Carbine, M1 rifle with CIA against Vietkong leftist Laos and Hochimin north Vietnam soldiers. Escaped death and destruction from that country 42 yrs ago.
Please excuse my naivety but what is the name and artist of the song of the beginning of the clip when you are driving up the hill? Thank you in advance!
The background and the music are just cool as they're.
Prefer lai music.
💯🔥💙👍
I believe my uncle bounmee is in saixumboun ..
Hi
Scenery like in Fiji
Haha never thought I seen an American truck in Laos 🇱🇦
Thank you for the upload.
I’m a city boy through n through and know nothing about “off road “ ( but I have driven through a muddy car park on occasion haha)
In the parts of the road you call steep , are you in 4wd? On the muddy part where the truck was being pulled ? Did you need 4wd?
Be interesting to know in your vids when you need it :-)
Hey dude.. muddy carpark 😆👍
When in doubt.. I always use 4x4. It's much better than not and regretting it. Where the truck got stuck, if you kept momentum up 2 wheels may have got us through, but we had no idea how hard that surface was under the mud. Once you're stuck, it makes it a lot harder to get out then. Caution is your friend on quiet roads like these 👌
Cheers 👍
