Hi Todd That machine is for taking car and truck tires of their rims, The drill press is a knock off of a Bridgeport milling machine made in the US. most likely from the ex army base workshop.
Hello host thank you for bringing ua along🇨🇦🇵🇭
I can't like it again but I can comment again awesome people their hospitality and friendliness is remarkable what a great vlog
Thank you so much 😀
Fun show mate... Good food and great BeerLao...Thanks...
Great video, great editing...great day! I did an mountain bike ride with some Lao friends at Phou Khao Khouay back in 2005 or so. Brutal and beautiful. Loved your transition of the Lao song carrying over and taking us out under the sunset. Brings back wonderful memories and maybe a couple of tears. The sublime beauty of the moment. Khop Chai Deu...
Absolutely brilliant! Your videos never cease to amaze me of the beautiful Loas country.
What a day! Thanks for letting us be a part of it. I smiled all the way through. Fabulous.
No worries mate. Glad you're enjoying the trip 👌
Woo amazing Todd 👍👍👍👍good beautiful lake party with local nice cold beer love’s it’s 👍👍🙏🙏
Jeez this video chops back and forward love it jen
That looked like quite a day topped off to perfection with the picnic. All good stuff for sure......nice one. 👍👍😊😊
Beers and chicken, awesome stuff!!!
Good edit. The nature beauty , and the picnic is wonderful
As always, Great vlog Todd, interesting finds from a bakery to a machine shop. The little townships are always a find. A great day for a picnic serving up black chicken and beer on a gorgeous day.
Love it. Harriet and Jim from Richmond, Va.
What a nice video, i get a big big smile on my face. Good job!
Great video guys!!
Hi Todd,,loved hearing a different version of Layla! One of 3 hit songs written about the late Patty Boyd Harrison Clapton. Something,,,Layla and Wonderful Tonight. She musta been special. What I'm wonder,, is there 516 beautiful women in the area. From the few you showed,,I'd bet yes. 2 of my 3 coworkers caught covid,,between the 2 of them they passed it on to 12 or 14,,including 6 that had been vaccinated. Several in hospital on ventilators. I wasn't around either one in the last 2 weeks,,so I think we are safe for now. Looked like a great day,,the picnic,,that shop,,the food looked superb, and the women lol take care of yourselves,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
nice job, one of my fav videos on your channel.
Superb vlog as always Todd
Chilies are good for u mate
OMG. Laughed my head off at Neenee bailing out the boat! What a fun day. Loved it.

Really interesting. I’ve seen the rubber trees and the white stuff. Well done. Love the music as well!
Glad you enjoyed it Patricia 😉
A lovely way to discover Laos
That drill was quite something! I love old machinery and tools like that. Nice video 🍞🥐🥖🥨🥯
Thanks guys 👍
Beautiful mate
What a delight those guys on that island how cool great video really cool thanks jen,
..and there was no way in hell I could get them to take our money for the beers and chicken.
So I gave the boat driver a tip 😝👍
@@NowinLao that's so nice of them
That food and beer looks delicious
These are the best kind of days! The ones you don't plan at all..... But end up to be so memorable. Like always.... Thanks for sharing brother
They certainly are Daz..
Stay safe brother 👍
You have quite the channel here Todd. Cheers!!!
Thank you, that was a great VLOG as always...... greetings from Sydney Australia....Take care....Jeff
Thanks Jeff 😉
Hi am from India one of my friend live there I like to visit too such lovely place .
Love your videos man great
Love your comment Tony 🍺😁👍
Sounds like a great day 😃👍
People are friendly to invite you for a drink... nice to see that such people does still exist
That was a fun day!
Love that place
Love your videos mate, keep up the great work, I live in Thailand
Thanks Paul👍
these videos you guys are doing are spectacular!
Thank you Millicent
What a great day !!!! Only an Oz can spot a beer can from 200 paces :) The whole thing reminded me so much of my first year in NE Thailand wandering all over the place on my bike - I can smell the cooking bud - that was a grand vlog mate, enjoying watching your trip - big thumbs up from Udon Thani.
Thank you very much Toby in Udon T. As you probably know, NE Thailand is very similar to Laos. Great part of the world. Hope you're doing well there mate... I miss our shopping trip to UT.
Take care 👍
ຄັກຫລາຍsuper thank you2
Amazing movie
Thank you Jens 🙏
One of your best.👍
Thanks Tim 👍
Todd - what a cool experience.
Yes it was 🍺😁👍
That spicy chicken liver paste looked awesome 😁
Wow :) Nice scenery especially the water reservoir from the dam #1 :) I've seen this place back in 2000 when everything wasn't quite developed yet :) This video brought back lots of memories :(
I'm glad you enjoyed it
What another gem of a location ol mate. This trip of yours is gold and seeing Neenee bailing was piss funny.
Hahaha glad ya loving it 😁👍
Thanks 🙏
@@NowinLao All the videos of this trip have been gold. Loved how you two put the smiles on those kids in the village and bombing off that bridge. Such a classic destination and who would have thought so.
15:05 A pipe threading lathe. .... A very cool "old school" workshop 👍
Thought you'd like that mate 👍
When you tour Laos country you see how good every raod you see.
I’m from Sydney and that paved road looked better than some of ours.
Car sick in Laos brings back memories. We drive from Luang Prabang to Vientiane and my wife became very car sick. We then started looking to buy sour Nandi as she felt it would be the only thing to make her feel better.
It didn’t. It just just changed the colour of her output haha
Those guys you were eating with seemed like a really nice group of genuine people :-)
“Black chickens”… the “ woke “ will get you, they are now to be called “ chickens of colour “ haha
You can’t go wrong with Pad Gra Pao ( but where was your fried egg, Todd?)
Thank you for taking the time to upload the video
Not an egg man dude, not unless it's Easter egg 😋
I really like the music you put on your videos
Good thing you had Neenee bails water..!
😁👍
16:00.... machine for putting tyre on / off rim..... ask her for a pastie.... loved this video.. thanks
Hi Todd Thanks again for the tour. Although I have been in Lao a long time I am to lazy to go anywhere, especially with the Covid lockdown issues. Typical Lao picnic lots a chicken and beer. Quick correction on the price of electricity in Laos compared to Cambodia an Thailand. Lao price is around 7c a KW where as Thailand is 11c and Cambodia is 15c.
People in Lao, are so much more friendly and inviting than here in the USA. It's wonderful to see that the spirit of kindness still exists in other parts of our world! 🌎 😊👍
WOW!! What a day that was. I was getting lost from all the jumping and information with input. It was a cool video and everyone was so awesome and friendly, this is what draws people to Lao, heck! It makes me want to visit and do charity for the villagers. You know how I feel about Lao. Sorry if I was late getting to you. I drove through 4 states Tuesday, look at some land. Then drove back the next day, that was14 hour at 85 miles an hour. Then got up and drove to my wife's mother's which was a 9 hour drive. 3 days driving 37 hours behind the wheel. I am beat mate. So you can understand why my mind is off. Peace Todd and give Neenee a hug and hello for me. Oh, check the boat next time, god bless Neenee keeping you a float😎👍✌
Man, that long behind a wheel really it out of you! Sounds like you were hootin too mate. 85 is about 135 km/h 👌
Will do mate, you guys take care 🙏
Yeah todd, that would be 1860 miles in those three days😯 I did get pulled over by the police for speeding, 15 over the speed limit but he was nice and gave me a warning. Not like Australia whereI think there is no speed limit in the outback doing cross country driving, or is there? Yeah I have a lead foot, don't like driving much and everything is so far away. Peace mate,thanks for thermite back, look forward to the next video ✌
The wood there are front the bottom of the lake. Many trees that were flooded years ago still in the bottom, and there are people that dive from those barge and go down and cut it and pull it up.
chilis make everything taste better
Good catch up with that young camping crew,munch on black chicken and enjoy Beer Lao ,then off for a small boat tour ,magic !!. Well done to the deckie ( Neenee extracting the excess water) I hope as a westerner you TRY ( lol) and educate them/others about rubbish removal and effects of pollution. I know ( Asia) it's not in their DNA,but gotta start somewhere. Cheers....Kenno..West Aust
I meant to add this to my last comment-- your editing skills were already very good but this video takes them to a new level, you've incorporated some slick elements that you'd see on a broadcast TV episode, makes the videos even more engaging
Thank you. I'm glad the time I'm putting into them is paying off and being recognized.
Much appreciated 🙏
@@NowinLao I'm a Taiwan vlogger, I need to up my game! hopefully my wife and I make it to Laos after covid blows over, your videos have sparked our interest in the country
@@MoreFormosa up your game? Dude, all you need to do is start vlogging again! Just had a quick look, but from what I seen, you've got some quality vids there with good numbers. Why'd you stop?
@@NowinLao Ah that's awfully nice of yah, thank you. I went to the states to visit my ailing parents and can't make it back because of covid block on foreigners, though my wife can go. I'd have to spend 21 days in a govt quarantine facility, like small cell block. Can't even stay in same room with my wife. So waiting for things to ease up, they are rolling our their own Taiwan developed vaccine in big numbers now
like the music you choose to play
Thanks Keith
Hi Todd, thank you so much for posting all these wonderful videos. I had just recently discovered your channel. I’m fascinated with all the places you’ve gone to visit. I’m planning on going there in April of 2022 if some of the restrictions are relaxed in terms of Covid. Your house is not far from my hometown. If I mention the name of the village I grew up on, I’m certain you’d know exactly where it’s at. I was born and raised there up until I was 15. Went back few times. Last time I was there was in 2011. It’s been a while and so many things have changed. I hardly recognized. One thing for sure I’ll come visit NeeNee and your restaurant. Again, thank you and continue living a blessed life.
Hey Jim.. glad yu found us mate. Not sure if you know but Neenee has her own channel also.. "Neenee Lao Life".
You hever tld me the name of your village.
Look forward to meeting you one day when you visit, take care 🙏
@@NowinLao Hi Todd, glad to hear back from you. Thanks for taking time to reply back. And yes I enjoy watching both NeeNee and your channel. My village is “ Ban Don deng” it’s very close to Ban nong ta neua and Ban nong ta tai. Since I’ve discovered yours and NeeNee’s channel, I have been watching them videos one after another trying to get some ideas of what to do and where to go when the time comes. I’m also been thinking about coming back home and settle down somewhere in Laos. I need to get hold of your mate Charle I think is his name? The fellow that you sat down and had conversation with. I did the same thing that you and NeeNee did last time I went back home. I went from VTE all the way north and all the way to champasak. I need to go and do that zip line like you did. I most definitely will seek you out when I’m there. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Sealed road but not very wide. Not seeing speed limit signs. lol Go as fast as your heart can take, maybe. Great editing of this one. Nice way to slide the two together. Funny how some people will just stare at you and then there are these blokes (?) who just invite you over for chicken and beer.
Have a great day 🇦🇺👍🍺
Magnificent video work!!! First thought? The entrance scene. In the boat. Reminded me of my trip down the MaeKong, from Hoi Xsi? to Luang Prabang. We'd stopped off to get some fuel. And a bad smell had come. The lao man sitting next to me, brushed the smell off with the comment. "A headless body, floating down the river. Probably a drug runner." I thought? "Hum...that'll teach ya to mind your manners around here.. ."
Second thought? 22 minutes into the video? You asked your wife a question. And she just kept on talking to someone else, like you weren't there!!! I rolled over laughing!!! Is that a lao custom!!! My wife does it too.
But then? I remember my mom doing it to my dad!!!!
Love it!!! Women!!
International sign of friendship, a cold beer. Aussie & Kiwi's been using since beer was tinned.
Pretty sure the Lao are the Aussie's and Kiwi's of SEAsia 🍺😉👍
Yeh the best bit was Neenee bailing out ya sinking boat. She is funny half tanked 555
Yeah.. think we'll have to capture more if that 😁👍
Ripper video mate 👍
Its a tyre changer old type but stll in use here cheers Ray...
Cheers mate 👍
another epic day with you two! that's what she said
😝👍
Another great area - we will call the lake “ beer lake “ 15.57 mark looks like a truck tyre remover / breaker - and a speed boat trip with Neenee in charge of paling water 😁👌😎👍🙏🍺 bucket list stuff
Beer lake sounds good 👍
Kop chai der Meeny for a great Lao song!
All fun watching your videos. Yes,I'll be very happy when I can once again ride my motorcycle from Thailand and into Laos. Any idea when the Thai Lao borders will open? I'm hopping by spring of 2022. Be safe mate. Maybe catch up and have a beer one day.
Even though we've just last night gone into our harshest lockdown yet, (re-evaluated on the 30th) I wouldn't be surprised if they try to open earlier to coincide with the new high speed rail opening in December... Just some thoughts I've heard flying around. Yeah, but spring next year could be a real possibility as they are tearing through the vaccinations here. A beer sounds good. I'll be here 👍
@@NowinLao Thanks, yeah we're all tired of the daily Covid news . From Asia to USA. Be safe!
That orange base machine with a flat round top surface is for removing tyres from rims of cars. Once you hear it you will see it instantly
👋👋
Good mooring young man!
Hello William 👋
Went to Thailand twice and we loved it except for the heat n humidity. Next time we hope to check out a few cooler places like Chiang Mai and Pai….Dalat, Vietnam…..Cameron Highlands, malaysia. Are the any places in Laos that are cooler ? We are searching for a retirement spot. Thx !
LuangPrabang would be my pick in Laos. Absolutely beautiful city! Has it's own international airport also.

Sam Neua now has an international airport also, up in the north east not far from Vietnam.
Watch from 17:00 minutes..

tiremachine. and the red was for making treads on metal tubes, for plumming. he even had a big welder CO2 in the back.
No virus paranoia. Great to see. I'm gonna leave Bangkok for Hua Hin I reckon.
Hi Todd. What's the name of the mountains over the lake? That looked like a pretty full day. Cheers and have a great day.
There's actually 2 mountains there... didn't know that. The close one is Phu Pha Dang, pronounce "Poo Pa Dung" and the one in the back is Phu Khao Khouay, pronounced "Poo Cow Kwai" which means Buffalo horn mountain.
None of that I knew, you can thank Neenee 😁👍
Drinking cold beer, singing songs and boating on the river. Good times!
"I'm not half-gone on my battery, but, I was gonna say something, but it's left my mind".
I think the beer's got you half-gone on your battery, mate.
"Put Guh Pao" is stir fried chicken or pork or beef with basil to give it good flavor, it's put on top of white rice and they put a fried egg on top, you can get it with chicken or pork, usually. It is Thai too. Gra-pao is Thai basil. "put" just means stir fry.
hey Todd do many use solar in lao being close to china i would think it would be cheap
😃🤗🤗🤗🤗😃😀😊😇
Black chicken is highly prized in Laos as having superior flavor and tenderness.
Looks like you can travel freely in laos...how can you do that
💯🔥💙👍
Where is 516 located? I can't find it on Google.
Nice vibe when you travel and lovely that you are interested in all! "I just admire the colour of this house..."❤️❤️ At 24:00 you say kin is for "to drink" too, ດື່ມເບຍ "dum bia" is not appropriate?
Just conferred with the boss... "dum" means to bump glasses, as you do with "cheers" 🍻
Pretty much the same think.. drink DRINK! 🍺😋👍
What's the current travel restrictions to Laos with covid and all, if any?
That first lathe was a metal lathe but someone had been turning wood. A machinist friend of mine would have had a fit if someone turned wood on his lathe
Hahaha that doesn't surprise me.. 👍
I’ve had black chicken, naturally more tastier and fuller than other chicken in my opinion!
What happens if your driving up and someone's driving down, is the road wide enough to for 2 vehicles to drive pass each other all the way through that mountain?
That road reminds me of heading to Newcastle before we had the motorway ( yes I'm that old ) when mum wanted a wizz she had to go in the bush , I guess neenee has to do the same , haaaaa
..and stopping at Peats Ridge for a milkshake 😝👍
