Now thats what you call a party , What a Fun day out , next year this on my calendar !!!! Thanks Todd ....
Great one loved it thanks👍
The music at 2.07 , great choice ! I remember when you could hear this music at anytime of the day blaring in the city. Now it’s as rare as finding a coffee laos .
Vang Vieng knows have to put on a party. Mud and Rockets . You got to love it. All the best Todd 👍👍 from Jim and Harriet
55555 yep that's a wagon wheel pearla eh!!, and seen bigger than that again :) excited to see if I can get organised for next year
❤❤❤
What a great festival with so much fun. Love the mountains in the background...beautiful
Beautiful Vang Vieng 💚
Wow..Rockets and the young ones are pretty wild. Don't fancy driving home caked in mud. Oh to be young🎉🎉🎉❤ (maybe) !
Hahaha yeah my thoughts exactly 😆
That looks like the most fun ever 👍🙂
Brilliant stuff guys, love it ❤
Hahaha 😂big fun rocket 🚀 festival laos 🇱🇦! 👍👈
charcoal and sodium nitrate (fertiliser often referred to as salt Pete) that equals gun powder. Very easy to make
G'day Tod, maybe the silver nitrate is for cloud seeding, l know they use heavy metals to cloud seed in Australia 😮
Looks like sooooo much fun!!! 🇱🇦👌🍺🍺🍺
🤗🙏🏼!
FUN and funny video, enjoyed it. Thank you.
Have a great weekend.
Great content Todd A ripper🍻
Wow! that was fun to watch, and what a great event. Plural of a Rocket 🚀 is Rockets 🚀🚀🚀, I think the Beerlao was kicking in by then. 😂🤣. As kids we used to make our own carbon+ powder. 🧨😉 And finally aiming a fireworks rocket at something is much more satisfying than straight up. 😂 / Al
My bad, you're right, rockets is the plural. I should of said the collective noun.. like a murder of crows, a flock of sheep, a crash of Rhino's.. a thicket of idiots 😆
Great stuff buddy! Looks like good fun 💥💥👍🏽
Best line in the video “ I’m French. I can tell “
Another great video mate. Looks like so much fun 😊
My kind of party lol 🎉 fireworks 🧨 and beer lol 😂 😂 awesome vlog Todd and loved the B/W stills 🙏
Always enjoy the B&W images at the end. 🚀🚀🚀 Lite another rocket Todd!
Great fun ,thanks Todd
Like comment and share so we can see more great content
teaching to swim is the numbre 1 thing to learn. glad that you all giving your best to the lovely girl
i have seen a couple of fireworks partys in the isaan in TH and loved it.
even the circle ones, really something special
It's been over 20 years I've not seen these physically
The best start ever for a Sunday morning here in a cloudy RSA :-)
after growing up in England 50/60 fireworks are in my blood .
some years ago , was tempted into actual production , with my actual explosive back ground sad I stopped :-(
Plastic chairs not ideal for a launch pad , sometimes we get tubes to use .
The food , Todd getting fed by the girls , the mud wrestling , that wooden action figure was sublime .
As for the propellant , actually fairly basic . Mate here made some for a small cannon he made :-)
Elton John comes to mind :-)
Wonder if the rocket guys would take on a farang to assist in manufacture ? Did I see a few in the crowd and mud ?
The Catherine wheel is a feat of engineering :-)
Must really consider a vist now , yes , great country , lovely people , maybe a rocket under my chair will get me there next year :-)
Wish you all a great week ahead :-)
If you think your expertise will get their rocket highest and save them from a mud bath.. I'm sure they would give your recipe a crack mate. Yes.. you need to get out here to witness one of these events for yourself 😉👍
Hey Todd,, potassium nitrate( bat shit ) sulfer and charcoal is what old time black powder is made of. Modern powder has different nitrates i believe. We also made our hot mix with potassium clorate,,and holy crap,,you could only mix a tiny pile because it was extremely violent,,would blow up in your face if you werent super careful. I haven't messed with that since i was a teenager. The clorate mix packed in a shell with a fuse,,would just shred a brass shell,,turn it into lace. To be honest,,i doubt you can even buy the potassium chlorate anymore. When i was a kid..you could buy it at a drug store,,pharmacy or a farm supply store. I have no idea anymore. Later i helped my Uncles blow up stumps,,and when i worked at the mines i helped fill many a drill hole with regular old fertilizer. Proud of Mina for helping the guy pick up trash. ❤❤👍👍👍 Ttyl,,,Marlon
Happy Father's Day Todd. WOW that wagon wheel rocket looks awesome scary. I had to google it. Gun powder is made of: sulfur, charcoal ( which is mostly carbon) and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). You nailed it. It is the wildest party ever. Stay well.
Yeah.. I guess there's a good reason those guys are running away quickly 😝💥
Cray, cray. One of the most amazing things i have ever witnessed in regards to Rockets, mud, food and alcohol.
Don't forget the mud wrestling 😝
What I liked is that everyone respects that some people do not want to partake i.e get muddy and leave them alone. Great spirit and awesome festival and crazy humongous rockets.
Great to hear you mention Shanes name.He and his dad are friends of mine.Ill send him a link to this vlog, he'll be chuffed.Him winning the road race was just bloody awesome.He didn't do so well this morning putting his car up into the wall but hey, he'll get there.
Haha thanks mate. Yeah, I was up until about 3.30am here following on CZcams.. until about lap 90 😏 Still doing a bloody great job though. I started watching NASCAR around the time Dale Earnhardt died. Always following Jr then Ambrose. After Ambrose left and Jr retired I lost interest a bit.. SVG has now renewed my interest in it. Great hard racing without the interference of race officials. Will suit Shane to a Tee 👌😉
@@NowinLao Keep an eye on another fast kiwi Callum Hedge.He is racing in Indynxt which is like Xfinity is to Nascar.Callum will be in the main game next season racing against another couple of mates of mine Dixon and McLachlan.
@@lauriegriffin9133 Ok, will do 👍 I do keep an eye on the Indy series because of McLachlan 👌
WoHooo! Bon Bang Fai !!! 💥
hi guys
Hey Terrance!
Great vlog as always Todd! You are right about being bat shit crazy! Those rockets are pretty wild but not as wild as the wrestling in mud! I wish that some of that rain could come over this way to Khon Kaen. Loved the way that Mina said be careful as she took over camera duties while you washed the brolly. You wouldn't want to be under any of those rockets when they come back down to earth. It was good to get there early as you had a prime spot! Thanks for sharing, love to you all, God bless you 😀❤🙏
You've had no rain down there!? Wow.. it's been raining constantly for nearly a month now here in Vientiane
Bat Guano rocket festival. That was fun! 👍😅
Wish I was with you guys out there I need to make me a whole new life sometimes like right now man
Thanks Todd, Neenee and Mina for a great Sunday Arvo video to watch
Reminds me of the mud men of Papua New Guinea in the 70s. They'll all have beautiful skin .. lol. Obviously they're bringing the rain. Great entertainment thanks Todd. Bushyboy Oz.
I never get tired of your videos they are always fun to watch
Thank you 👍
Hey Todd , wagon wheels look a bit dangerous, what goes up. Take care Nev
Yeup 👍
wow those rockets could take out an aircraft
👋🤍💙👏🏼👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I loved my time travelling in Lao. Cape York Queensland here mate.
Hey Darryl 👋

czcams.com/video/qkXKWa4tbWA/video.htmlsi=sJwir9Ue9f1a0jvL
Farange girls, beer, and mud. What could go wrong!!!!
Ahhh,,, boun bung fai, the drunker they get, the bigger the rockets.
Hey mate, that's gun powder.
Future rocket engineers or Teslar and Amazon CEOs
No wonder the Hmong don’t come down from the mountains, they think General Vang Pao and his troops are under attack.🌀🫡🌀
Haha 👍
17:44 Covid
My wife would have had to complete 13 x visa applications by now if Australia didn't allow partner visas.
I wish Thai retirement visas and partner visas were similar.
The laws and goal posts keep getting moved.
Great stuff mate.The old bat shit trick hey.555555
old ravers never die they just move to Laos
And why not.. the Lao people are the embodiment of PLUR! Not to mention the Hard trance they were smashing out at the pool today 👌😆
No place to go hang gliding.
I saw some of those paragliders off in the distance but I have no idea why they didn't come for a look 😆
No "posers" in Laos. Genuine fun and glee. Anyway, can i have "busties" number?. Thanks
😆👍
As always love your channel,im at border in Thailand and want to come find cheap appartment near your town to stay few months,i just like to meet up and give you my number if you no of good place.Thanks mate,sending love🙏
Could your wife drop her dad’s name to get good seating? The military guys would know the name , yeah?
They have peanuts that move to go along with a beer?
Yumm
Lol
