Thov Kom Hmoob Sib Hlub - Maiv Xis Muas
*This is the first line of the song - not sure about the tite.
Thank you it was great time talking to you at the night market I appreciate it
I love the songs! I'm glad you chose their songs for this video taken in their country!
Lovely country, lovely songs.
Thanks for showcasing the beauty of Laos! Just subscribed!
Thanks for sharing your impressions. I enjoyed the river tour!
Damm looks like I need a vacation to Laos asap can't wait till this pandemic is over so I can go visit Laos
Hi Jay. Yes, I can certainly recommend a journey to Laos. In fact I want to go again once Covid has settled down.
@@HavePension-WillTravel yes I can't wait till this is over too I already got my passport can't wait to visit my family over there
Good videos in Laos. I'm a staff at PANDAW too
We did it too....wonderful!
beautiful
Great video. It was nice to see some footage of my fellow Hmong as well.
good choice with the song in this vdo ... nice vdo
Very nice, cheers from Laos
Amazing a video well done and a huge advice Thanks Is that possible To do it from Chiang Kong to Vientiane ?And How di you manage at Chiang Kong ? A cruise in Chao playa River to Bangkok ? (Gidding!)
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. It is possible to do the trip in reverse, going downstream. In that case it starts from hotel or airport in either Chiang Rai or Chiang Mai. After we disembarked we travelled by minibus (organised by Pandaw) to Chiang Mai where we caught the overnight train to Bangkok. On the way to Chiang Mai we stopped in Chiang Rai to visit the White Temple and to have lunch at a restaurant called Cabbages and Condoms.
@@HavePension-WillTravel Thanks for your answer I check on youtube video the restaurant named Cabbages & Condonms . Funny Place & huge funny on the menu cover its writing "our foo do not make pregnancy ".........
Great video. What time of year did you go? I'm going late Feb and just wondering how warm/cold it so be 🤣
We were there in late January/early February. This is the cooler part of the dry season and at times it was very cool! We'd been forewarned about this and made sure we had jerseys and jackets (also a pashmina to use as a scarf). It was only cold at night and in the early morning. During the day the weather was lovely. Clothes that you can wear as layers are the answer. I hope you have a great time - I'd love to do it again.
@@HavePension-WillTravel Thanks for the info, will be sure to pack a jumper!!
What cruise company did you use? This books like a Fabulous Adventure
Pandaw River Cruises (www.pandaw.com/). It was a wonderful trip and Pandaw are now cruising to Laos (and China) again after the pandemic.
Nice video
do you have to get off at chiang kong thailand? or can you stay on laos side and keep on traveling on your own?
Yes, you can stay on the Laos side. The tour guide would be able to tell you about where to get other transport - boats, buses, taxis etc.
@@HavePension-WillTravel thank you so much for your reply, and forgot to say what an awesome trip you showed us! i'm actually thinking about buying a scooter in laos, which only cost about 700 usd or so, and it would be nice if i could bring the scooter along onboard the cruise, get off at huay xai(the town on laos side of the river, oppositing chiang khong, thailand), and ride my way back to vientiane, at my own leisure ;)
Living the simple life. That's my dream. No more working like a dog.
