- In the last video, you saw us explore the beautiful capital of Laos; Vientiane. Between the beautiful sights, temples, and delicious breakfast, it ticked all our boxes! Today, however, we finally set off on our road trip from Vientiane towards the south of Laos, with a popular loop in the middle: the Thakhek Loop! We aren’t last-minute people, but wow, did we leave the planning last minute! At least we have a great car, a happy attitude… and some snacks! The road trip begins here!

Thank you so much! 🤗🤗
Gotta love your Road Trips!! So glad that you made it to your hotel in one piece and we look forward to seeing more of your adventures:) Thanks for sharing this video 😊
Thank you very much!
The headlights flashing thing is the same practise as per Vietnam!
I asked my overnight bus driver before and they flash their headlights for 2 reasons (1) the key reason is to indicate that they wanna overtake on a single lane, for both directions' drivers to be aware, and for the driver infront to slow down just in case (2) to alert others of their presence whilst concurrently saving their vehicle batteries by tuning to a lower light instead of headlights.
Thank you very much!
Love this. Good info to know. Looking forward to the road trip!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
You are welcome to LAOS. Have a good trip and be safe. 👍🙏⚘🇱🇦
Thank you very much 🤗🙏🏼🇱🇦
Loved the B rolls you included in the new vlog!
Thanks so much 🤗🤗
I just discover you two; love your trip to Laos. You made it fun to follow and your vibe.
Thank you so much 🥰🤗
Your video was really fun. We are glad you are back in Thailand and now you are in Laos which should be great too. Enjoy your trip from Thai fans.
Thank you so much ❤️🤗🙏🏼 we really appreciate that!
Road trips are awesome, especially if you are in control of the trip,, ie self drive,,.. always loving the vids, editing is great whoo whoo😀
So true!! Really nice to be in control of when to stop and what to see 😍 Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your road trip explorations in Laos. I'm sure u guys have had a marvelous time. D car looked real comfy for a long trip.
Did u guys have any difficulty driving in Laos esp with getting directions from d net, google etc.
Doing shopping for road trip, I like that too, saves lot of time.
Your own road trip, that's a true sense of traveling n adventure.
Directions were fine - most of the driving was just 1 road!! So impossible to get lost hehe 🤗 but the quality of the road was a bit lower at times - luckily we had our comfortable car 😍🤗
@@2Passports1Dream 1 road, hehehe, that's easy. Bad roads conditions, sounds dangerous, luckily u guys rented a good car. Stay safe while traveling. 😁
Great video as always! Cambodia and Burma also worth a visit! Countries win lots of history!
Cambodia is next! :D
Hi guys! I’m from Thakhek but been living in the Uk for the last five years. Your video brings me back my hometown. Thank you so much for your lovely journey videos ❤ hope you have a wonderful time in Laos. Looking forward to see you wander in the south ☺️🙏
Oh amazing!! Thank you so much - it’s such a lovely place 😍🤗 we have really enjoyed exploring more of this country! 🇱🇦
I ever visited Thakaek 1st time in 2000 , how there were been? , nowaday still same.
@@suwitthayamungkung8901
In the next few years from now Laos will be transformed into a modern country.
Hahaha- that guy that goes “wow” gets me every time 😂
Ahahah he is the lucky charm of our Laos trip 😂😍
ลาว สวยมากกกกก คิดถึงไทยเมื่อ 30 ปีก่อนเลย ชีวิตโคตรดีตอนนั้น
Ahw 🤗 it is very beautiful!
I don't know if you've noticed that in Laos they don't like honking the car horn like disrespectful
Oh yeah you’re right… we can’t even remember hearing any honking!
They are kind
I have to say the traffic even in the capital looks very manageable and gives me confidence that I can drive in Laos as well. For someone that does not feel that brave to go on a motorbike in South East Asia, it was quite a pleasant surprise. Really enjoy your Laos series and looking forward to your next adventure. I hope renting this brand-new car for a week did not cost you a fortune.
Thank you! Oh we agree, there wasn’t too much traffic - just some of the roads weren’t great but definitely manageable if driving during the day/slowly hehe! It broke the budget a little but it was worth it!! We bought noodles for this reason 😂👀
Ep.6 roadtrip start yeah 👍
Anyhow the Dutch won the 8th finals and are on to the quarters 🥳⚽️
The Hyundai is a very good comfortabele car guys 😊
And as always, C Ya in the next one Adriana & Dylan, cheers 🙌🍻🍹
We’ll done the Netherlands 🇳🇱🙌
Love your videos guys 😍
Thank you so much ❤️🤗
Lao is my mom's country, yes be careful on the roads other locals can drive like they are in need for speed game lol I hope I can visit soon what a great video ! thanks !
YA YA road trip begins. Only 2 hours later to get to your hotel [ not too bad in my option] looks like nice hotel. Enjoyed video
Haha we wish it was 2 hours - it was 8 😂🫠 but a fun trip!!
Love your video❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
สวย หล่อ
🤗🤗
fan from Laos
Woo-hoo, road trip! 😂🤗💞
😍😍😍 wooooo!!
Awesome car guys. Enjoy yr trip in Burt/Betty 😁
Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗
Just to answer your questions in Laos if other cars turn on their flashlights on and off to you it means they are asking for the way which means they are asking you to give them way to pass you. Hope it helps x
That’s good to know! Thank you 😌
Have a good day, you're welcome 🇱🇦🤝 🏴🇸🇪
Thank you so much 🤗🤗
FC from usa im lao nice to see yall enjoy laos would love to visit the mother land
Hope you get to visit one day!
สวัสดีครับ น่าจะเป็นการตัดสินใจที่ถูกต้อง ที่มีรถใช้ในการเดินทางท่องเที่ยวในลาว น่าสนใจมาก เที่ยวให้สนุกนะครับ.
Thank you very much 🤗❤️
me first yay !!
YAY!
Maybe because of the backpacks in the back the car is a bit down at the back. You can adjust the lights with a knob. Usually it's located left of the steering wheel. 👍
Yes maybe!! But we were both sat in the front - the bags aren’t heavier than us! 😅😅
Music machine I love it 😂😻😂
Hahaha it was the first thing that came out 😂
เที่ยวลาวนาน ๆนะคะ ลาวมีที่สวย ๆ เงียบสงบเยอะเลย ขอให้เที่ยวให้ทั่วค่ะ
It’s very beautiful! 🤗🇱🇦
ใช่ค่ะ ธรรมชาติสวยงามมาก ผู้คน ภาษา วัฒนธรรมจะคล้ายภาคตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือของไทย ทักทายจากไทยค่ะ
Good luck to you
Thank you very much ❤️🤗
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I heard people flashing their lights at night in laos they want to make sure you see them, Some people might fall sleep or drank driver.
Thank you! Oh yes that makes sense… good thing we were flashing everyone back then 😂
Soo love .....
Those cone shaped crisps remind me of Bugles in Europe haha!
YES! Hahaha that’s what we call them too 😂 love bugles!!
Omg that Pluto shirt 😍😍😍 so cute. Where did you get it? 🤔🥰
Hehe thank you!! I actually bought it second hand at a cafe in Thailand 🤗 couldn’t resist it!
"Mikey The Magaron" is the name of your EV car, but I suggested this car should be "Creta the Khronos" to mean a huge happiness for all your trips. 555+ Have a good trip and be safe. (Your fans from Thailand)
Hehehe that name sounds super cool 😂👀😎 thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🤗
WOW man kill me every time he appears 🤣🤣
Hahahaha same 😂😂 he just makes the videos complete at this point
the 2 pastries that Adriana bought are strictly chinese pastries they're beans paste not sure which kind though could be mung/red beans bcz china pumps a lot of money in laos & cambodia in recent years...have fun & njoy your stay in asia!
Oh interesting!! They were very tasty 😍 thank you very much 🤗
I was born in Lao but I haven't been to as many places in this country as you two
Great video! Where do guys rent the car?

Hello 🤗🇱🇦 thank you very much!
Enjoy the bumpy roads...drive careful. They drive crazy
In the states if someone flashes there lights it’s cause u have ur high beams on or they are letting you know that there’s police ahead. Usually hiding to get u for speeding.
Your hair cut. I say cut it just above ur shoulders and have them put alot of short layers. Then put some moose or gel in it and dry it wild. There u go a sloppy but net look. Kind of like a beach, surfer type guy. I think it would look great on you. Good luck and safe travels
Thank you very much!
Enjoy more discoveriesof the capital from one of Thai subscribers.

How much was the car rental for a week?? Did you have to bring the car back to Vientiane? How was the car insure??
It was about 50 USD per day! We returned it in Pakse! It was insured though the company.
HI,GUYS STAY SAFE!!!!🚙🇺🇸☕☕🙏👏👏👏😆😆💕👍👍👍👍👍😎
❤️🤗😍 thank you!!! We will!
Hey guys, looking forward to this journey with you. Can I ask, how much it cost to rent the car for the week? The flashing lights could mean the road are being monitored by traffick police checking for speed
following! Curious as to price as well
Hello!! It was 50$ per day for the car! We rented it from Avis budget in Vientiane 🤗 it cost a little bit extra to drop it off in another location (for us, in Pakse!)
@@2Passports1Dream Thanks For replying. Keep safe. How is the Christmas Spirit where you are?
Hello, we just got a code from Avis for our followers. Use code 2P1D, you will get a 5% discount!
how do you fill up the gas? Is there a car rental near train station as well? thanks for the video. It was hard to find information about road trip in Laos other than the guy with his own bike.
There was loads of gas stations about, similar to Thailand. They fill it up for you. Not sure about the train station, sorry!
@@2Passports1Dream Seeing this reply now, sorry I kinda repeated the same question on the other episode 😅 Just arrived in Vientiane. your lovely vlogs are helping a lot! Have a safe trip :)
It is called cilantro for the plant. Coriander is the seed. I love your channel but that drives me nuts being a person who studies a lot about herbs.
It really depends on if you use English American or British English. Cilantro is the American version. For example, even in Sweden the word cilantro doesn’t exist, but koriander does. It really varies from country to country but we aren’t American hence why we use our native words for it.
🇹🇭🇱🇦😊
Thakhek is my hometown
That’s so lovely 😍
😊❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Please check out “The Rock View Point” in Thakek.
Definitely 😍😍
Can I use google map with directions with help of male/female voice same as direction(locations)helps using in States. Is there any restriction on foreign driver license?
The car didn’t have gps so we used our phone! 🤗
I did not get the name of the village and hotel where you are staying now. 8 hours drive from Vientiane in 1 day is too much for me. Did you see a decent guesthouse/hotel on the way from Vientiane. I am coming back to Luang Prabang in January for the 5th time and plan to drive to south Laos this time.
The place is called Thakhek and the hotel is in the description box :)
ฉั้นอดติดตามคุณทั้งสองไม่ใด้คุณๆน่ารักมากคะ🥰
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
You should meet up with Paddy Doyle, he is in Laos too
Hehehe not in the same locations at the same time unfortunately 😭
Well we have really bad pot holes here to Dylan because I use a disabled scooter myself
D next time u guys r in Malaysia, consider making road trips, there r dozens of rest stops with eateries along d highway.
Definitely would be so much fun!! 🤗🤗
@@2Passports1Dream Yes, definitely, u guys can plan your own travel time instead of going to d bus or train station or flight terminal n rely on d public transport, u can even take your car by ferry to Langkawi. D only thing is that, keeping on track towards d right direction. For instance, if u r from KL in d centre, n if u heading to east, north n south, u have to pass lots of roads n even d city highways before entering d main highway with some tolls. But once u r on d highways, like any other country, it's easier to reach your destination with d constant lookout for road signages. Enjoy your road trip. 😁
If u in Vietiane check out this tourist spot only local knows 1 hr from Vientiane Call Muange Fune... Check out TaKhek loop also central LAOS and the rock view point
Thank you very much 🤗🤗
@@2Passports1Dream y'all In Paksae take the ferry crosse the river to Champasak to see What Pho built 100 years before got destroyed by war..it's the first ankor Watt built before the Ankor Watt in Cambodia
Nice nature to..
Yes the best there are a River surround that city....THE TEMPLE SITS ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN...DRONE SHOTS LOOKS NICE..
The flashing of the lights might be just a warning to you that they are approaching, sort of letting you know that they are there. They do that in Thailand also.
Yeah definitely - we thought that must be it!! It just caught us off guard!
Look so tired adriana no jump test
Hahaha very tired 🤗🫠
I think you should come back to Vietnam, while you are so close :)
We would love to!! 😍🤗
Hello, can you please tell me from where did you rent the car? I'm going to Laos in March and want to rent a car for the loop
We rented the car from Avis Budget in Vientiane 🤗 link in description box!
Check out 👉 mount bromo, white crater, borobudur temple, prambanan temple, east java..
🤗🤗
Oh get it in you Adriana you can say about it later
I 💜 Hyundai's.
Hehe such a good car!
maybe you had just side lights on or your main beam on full not dipped . but in general ie here in uk flash your lights would mean i have seen you make your move i will wait, but there it means make way for me the exact opposite of the uk
Yea it was weird, I checked all the light options!
yeah, the dog aren't really friendly, hehehe
Hahaha they sounded very intense 👀😂
When will you come Vietnam again ???
Heheh hopefully sometime in the new year 😍🤗
A lower comment is probably correct. Having all that weight in the very back of the car will lift up your headlight beams even if you're on low. I had that happen to me many years ago when I had three sisters sitting in the backseat and I couldn't figure out why everyone was flashing me
Hahahaha oh gotcha!! Yeah that could definitely be it! 🤗
Love her hair and teeth. Ancient?
Thank you so much 😍🤗
From Google: Flashing headlights in Laos generally means that vehicle has no intention of changing course and you should get out of their way.
Ah yes that’s what Google told us too but still felt kinda crazy considering most cars flashed us oncoming and we weren’t in their way!
Can you name car rental company?
In the bio - Avis!
Funny! wasn't there sat nav already in the car and all you had to do was blue tooth your phone to it?
No it wasn’t! Hehe we double checked 👀😂
If you're driving in laos you see the car behind you they are flashlight that mean they need a permission from their car try to pass you and the most you gonna see at night. Fc from USA.
Oh yes that makes sense but we were flashed by cars driving in the opposite direction towards us!! 👀😅 thank you!
To be able to drive a car in a different country do you have to take a special test Or if you have a Valid driver's license from the country you came from that would be good
You must have a international driving permit which you can obtain for $25 USD. Don't known if that have changed since we were there 2 years ago..
With the police here we just needed our U.K. drivers licence and all the paperwork!
Do you really need a international driving permit to operate the vehicle in Laos as I heard?
No, in Laos you can use your British licence for a certain period if you have the correct documents
How much is the rent?
For the car? It was around 50 usd per day!
Welcome to laos
Thank you very much 🤗
I heard that you will visit Cambodia too I hope you guys will survive from a lot of tricks people there 🤭. Angkor Wat is so so beautiful and amazing there is roots of culture . In the video you shouldn't compare about (Thai - Loas - Cambodia - Vietnam ) we're have fighting against to each other on every platform online 😂 like siblings thing . I'm just worry about you guys will get a lot of toxic comment if you see some of it just ignore them
Hehehe we have already seen some 👀😂 thank you for the heads up!! 🤗
Maybe they mostly cook at home so less street food.
You’re probably right!
Come on guys, lets all help these awesome humans get more subs so they can get a lamborghini :P
Heheheh 👀😍 one day maybe!! Haha!
new job for Adriana - new car ads sales girl
Hahahaah I would sell ZERO cars 😂
Butty, you don’t plan ahead ffs. Come on make 🏴 proud
Haha the Welsh don't plan?
How much to rent a car????
Hey it was with avis.la Also, if you use code 2P1D, you will get a 5% discount!
We paid around $50 a day
I want to know the price of renting a new car.
It was $50 per day! 🤗
Looks like lao is cleaner than cambodia.
Both countries look very clean to us hehe!
@@2Passports1Dream nope. Cambodia is worst. I saw many recent vlogs. Both rural and cities. Except for tourist place like angkor and siem reap which are the exception.
why was all your filming inside the car and inside buildings..... there is a whole country you did not show us.
About the same time, you were there I done northern Laos on a motorbike.
Lol this was just getting to the starting point. The rest of the videos are the road trip showing around 😂
Have you been pullover by cop for money?
We got pulled over twice. No money 😀
@@2Passports1Dream are you serious because all of my friends that they all have been pull over or stopped by cop and have to pay some kind of money
We had the correct documents 🙌
@@2Passports1Dream if I have passport, visa and the international driver license will that be enough
Hi guys! What is that place you were staying in the beginning of the video? Hotel/apartment name Urbanite? And you mentioned Avis for car, but I checked now Avis.la could not find the same one :(
Hey we got it from that website, too. I think we got upgraded to that car, so maybe email to see if it's available? Also, if you use code 2P1D, you will get a 5% discount!
how u doing! Bravo! what a unusual footage~ do you wanna promotion?~2Passports~📽
