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.

Music:
There is such a social bond that the Lao people have with each other. Breaking bread, having a drink. enjoying great food. You must be so happy that a new road is coming . Long overdue.
Thank You for taking us along this fun ride. Sending you much love from Richmond, Va. Jim and Harriet
I apologise for the cut and paste of this remark,( Ko Samui )but ,its spot on
It reaffirms my faith in humanity when I see posts like this. Even “3rd world” countries with low GDP and low average yearly income, can find a reason to celebrate just being alive. Good food and drink, good weather, family friendly, local people (best behavior). Don’t believe the the media and elites are feeding us. These people are WAY BELOW any poverty level that exists in the US/Aust or EU. God bless them.
Kenno...West Aust
Your enthusiasm is infectious
Ain't no party like a Lao boun ban party...55
Not quite as big as last weeks lol - welcome to Barry - it’s good the villages catch up together - invaluable knowledge shared and friendships 🍻👋👍🙏
Thank you! Haven’t stopped smiling since I arrived. Feels like home.
Wonderful video full of wonderful people, I like beer also, Peace, and Love
Howdy Todd! I truly appreciate Beverly and her efforts to supply some of the rural areas with wells. Water is a winner! Ban Boun 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🙈🙊 what a mind expanding experience! Those women had scored big when they collected a farang to drink with,,hell,,stopping ladies on bikes,,,"see what we have"" lol fun was had by all. I'm envious,,we have another bitter cold snap going on 12 below zero Fahrenheit now,,20 below tomorrow night. Brother,,I'm glad for you,,being able to experience all this stuff. Thank you! Ttyl,,,Marlon

Glad we could help get that first well dug! I look forward to getting out there one day Thanks for your help!!
Really enjoyed the last couple of video's.
Thank you very much for this beautiful video...i watch youre videos allready some while..and i have to say they are the best source to understand Laos... i will travel in some month to Viantiene... to marry my lovely Laos Woman.... what i missed so far in you're videos are informations about how to settle down in laos....😉
Very Beautiful people ! The women are so naturally beautiful. I remember in school (middle school) we had a Laotian girl in our class I thought she was the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen She always wore these long elegant dresses long beautiful dark brown/blackish highlighted hair held up in a bun
Thank you, Todd, for another video!
🤗🙏🏼!
Another fun video, enjoyed it. Thank you.
Have a great day.
Todd and NEE NEE you guys have tooo much fun huh!
Last shots so beautiful view
Oh so interesting. Thank you. Please post more often
Great video - love it 🙂
Hello again Todd. We are going to visit your restaurant while here in Vientiane. We are in Luang Prabang. Took the the Train from Vientiane today. Like you did in your video a couple of years ago. It was exactly as you described. Nice. Also went to the Red Lotus Lake in Thailand a few days ago.
Still watching your videos all these years!
Michael and Annie
Wow that nice
Thanks again, Todd!
Todd as the Klingons say Gah is best when served fresh ( ie your dancing shrimp ) 😂😂
Todd get your feed on mate when u going to dine on meal worms ?
Great vlog as always
Having great time mate.
u r living da dream mate! hope ya stomach wasn’t dancing all night after downing the ‘dancing shrimps’ 😄. keep up da good work. take care & god bless
I've just discovered your videos, and since I just moved to Laos a few weeks ago, I appreciate them. I look forward to seeing more.
Hi John, thanks. Where in Laos did you move to?
One day we go to Laos till then ok sir wish was that tho.
💯🔥💙👍
Much admiration for you and Neenee Todd! I had been watching you a few years ago, but unfortunately I've missed seeing your videos for the last couple of years - too much going on and my dreams of long term travel to Laos with a Lao girlfriend in California USA just doesn't seem feasible, with her having a young daughter in school and her own small business. Still hoping to come visit with or without her. Anyway, I'm so happy that I rediscovered your channel and I've been getting immersed in your very interesting adventures again.
Kiko.. great to hear from you and that you're dreaming of Laos again. Whenever you do visit.. I'll be here mate. Maybe share a beer then. Until then.. you take care of yourself and your loved ones 🙏
@@NowinLao Todd, I seriously appreciate your reply and invitation. Made my day! It will be a thrill when that day comes that I can sit across from you in Vientiane, clink beer mugs, share with you and learn from you.
My wife's village gets their water from a spring a long way from the village and they have two large cement tanks above the village. The system was built by German Agro. Not sure if they are around anymore. quiet group but got the job done. This year during the floods in the north the piping was washed away. All the relatives, and thank God there are a lot of them, chipped in to buy new piping and they had to fix it themselves. All is well now. This is great every village needs water for home use. The mountains in Lao are a tough place to live but as we see here they are not down they celebrate life everyday. Thanks for what you do. It was nice to meet you at the airport the other day. will contact you when we come back. I have 18" of snow in my yard. Makes it hard to get to our wood. Only heat we have. Snowing now and the prediction is more for the next 10 Days. We never get more than an inch or two and lasts for two maybe. See you later.
Sure mate, look forward it. I'm in Tassie right now and it's bloody cold.
Enjoy the snow mate😉
Good times! 🍻
Lao food is actually super delicious with alot of fresh tasty herbs. Lao food is much much better than its cousin...Thai food in my book. I love the biting hot, sour, and bitter flavors mixed with fresh veggies and herbs, super delicious and super healthy.
3 months in Thailand and 3 weeks Laos. Was glad to leave only because the smoke from the burning crops was disgusting and sore throat and headaches. I had enough. I do want to return but not to have to put up with that stench. If i return I will motorbike for several months but in clear air.
June to February is the best time for clear air here 👌
Am just back from 10 days in Lao. Fantastic people and country. I am sorry I ran out of time and did not get to come out and have a beer with you. But I will be back to see more.
Excellent to hear my man! All good, we'll have 2 next time
🍺😉👍
You are a lousy pox doctor, Xia Jinping obviously already has very advanced syphilis.
@@Swaggerlot he refuses to take his meds
I wouldn't last very long, don't drink, it taste very bad, but the food looks good. Bring my own chop sticks.😂😂A good time was had by all.
What did it cost to drill down 50m ? Roughly.
Hi Guys Yes they are dangerous, as they don't take no for an answer when offering you a drink, at least you avoided the Lao Lao. One correction to your info about the Lao postal system. You can send letters or parcels to the the post office of choice with your your name, address and phone number on it. It is called "Post Restante", which you can use in any country around the world you are passing through.
I can see why an Aussie fits in so well there cheers from Mackay qld
The Lao been known to be called the Aussies of SEAsia 😋👍
outstanding video, just awesome ~ !
18:12 something "tickled their fancy"!
only joined this channel few weeks ago, think I am missing something. Is there a link to Bev & Barry on youtube or elsewhere for their fundraising?
I think he was asking if you can speak Thai, Todd.
Real in laos style
Hi Todd. I don't think you noticed there was more to those two birds having a shag....one was a duck and the other a goose...does that even work? Or was it just a case of some slap n tickle?
Great episode mate. Cheers.
If I was a goose and saw a spunky little duck, I'd give it a go. Probably why the duck was bunkering down.
@@lingdinh4510 LOL!
What do these wells cost each?
Once you get settled at that property you should open a food cart! Just serve burgers dude!
Are all yours videos shoot in gopro?
The village like old Kerala 🤯
Visit God's own country
Paysage du LAOS 👍les gens sont adorables naturellement. 😃👍
The only "well research" in the last vid was how well the beers went down lol
Yeah, didn't go real well did it 😉
Lai Lai come over Malaysia 😁
I can't do the bug eating thing, sorry. I was chatting with a Lao woman once in Thailand for some time and then she excused herself for a moment only to return with a bag of locusts fried in soy sauce or something....offered me one...I declined politely ...and a short while later excused myself and went about my evening. Very nice, very sweet but there was no way I was going to kiss her.

And I'm going to drink 'til I get my fill"

GREAT LIFE, THEY NOT POOR IN THE HEART
Todd who is the older Lao lady with Bev that didn't talk much?
1 advice when you travel into country side : never loose control of situation, never get drink with local
I did both In Laos it was fine, they looked after me very well, if you're not going to drink with them you aren't really going to experience that country, of all countries.
I couldn't imagine just wandering through a village, minding your own business and being mobbed by so many different groups of drunk people. You're lucky you made it out of there alive.
Don't be ridiculous
The tree with yellow flowers looks like a Kapok tree.
Not Kapok, the flower of the Kapok is white
Kapok flour is definitely yellow. I have germinated the seeds and and grown the tree. I am still unsure if it is kapok in the video.
@@HITSFROMPATONG I guess there are a number of varieties as we have 5 mature Kapok tress on our farm. The fiber make great pillow and duvet stuffers.
Are they still using your yard as a tip?
Where is Barry from originally and is he half-Lao?
He a white kid from Arizona USA
Is all the beer because lack of water?
No.. it tastes good 😉👍
Old sly fox sneaky into the hen house
lol
And you walking around the bush in thongs
lol
Look out for the goof addas
lol
What's the danger of visiting laos? Petty scammers etc? Thats everywhere ?
I think he meant the way beer flows
They don't know what scammers are in Laos, they have online stuff like everywhere but street scammers are unheard of. Lao people are just friendly and want to meet foreigners. They are dangerous to drink with. But that's all.
Dancing shrimp 🤢🤢🤮
Todd, sometimes you are a knob 🙂
I know 😁👍
@@NowinLao Sorry mate, I know you do and get the same frustrations. It has to be put on record. Even though Thailand is streets ahead, it is really infuriating how badly all people are treated.
No problem with you getting legless a time or two....
Is Laos still throwing men in jail for cohabiting with Laotian women???
I hope so.. it does a good job of keeping the sex tourist creeps out 😉
Not really no.
They should take some pride in there village and clean up the ground to much garbage every were, reminds me of some villages in China they just throw garbage on the ground.
I agree. It sad that no one see what we are seeing, or maybe they just can't do it alone
That’s what I thought when I first moved here...but there are many great examples of people that clean up their villages. Plus the trash situation is not great here compared to other developed and developing countries. Basically there’s 1 landfill and not enough services to collect the trash. That’s just my two cents.
Dude, this was a trip you funded or what?
