- This little country in South East Asia DOES NOT get enough recognition for how much it has to offer! Laos is filled with beautiful historic cities and so many natural wonders. Join me and my Dad as we do a day trip from Luang Prabang to some of the surrounding attractions like Kuang Si Falls, Pak Ou Cave and a Whiskey Village, all while cruising down the extensive Mekong River that winds through 6 countries in Asia. Let me know in the comments if you have been to Laos and what your favorite experiences were! xx

Laos 🇱🇦 is amazing and the lao peoples are kind and generous ✌️🥰👍
Thank you very much 🥰
So glad to see this video i was jumping into the pool from very top of the fall when i was 15 years old, i left Laos at age 16, and i am now 64 living in California, i miss where i grew up thanks for posting this ❤
You and your dad are incredible!!
Aw thank you!
you beautiful..
That waterfall in Laos is still the background on my phone. Very cool place. 🔥
It is so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this story…I’m Lao American 🇺🇸.. I have not been there since 2013…I enjoying the video..again thank you 🙏
Kuang Si Falls looks magical, almost something out of a fairy tale ✨️ Another amazing video from Laos!
It certainly is 🙂
ຍີນດີຕ້ອນຮັບສູ່ປະເທດລາວ
An epic waterfall. Loved your dad's reaction to the whiskey.😂 👍😊🇮🇪🇱🇦
@donstravelsandrants Hmoob and laos whiskey are strong over there.
I just want to say that Laos 🇱🇦 is extremely underrated and overlooked.I watched this short documentary of Laos on CZcams and it was about these Chinese teenagers that live in Laos they designed the train cars and help design the overall structure of the stations of the train line that runs from Laos to 🇨🇳 China and yep that is how I found out about Laos 🇱🇦 😅.
Do you have the link?
Another delightful video! Laos is our favorite of SE Asia! We've been a number of times, but not for several years. We are going back in January! Can't wait! Looking forward to more videos from you. So well done! We love Vientiane and the 4000 Islands. Hope you will spend time in both! Happy New Year!
That’s wonderful! We did go to Vientiane and wanted to see the thousand island but I unfortunately got sick again so wasn’t able to film a video from there.
Lao is such a underrated country in Southeast Asia. We have been. Luang Prabang is the soul of the country. So much to see and do. Alina, you hit all the right notes for the short period
of time you were there. Nice Video. 😁😁 Alina, Hope you are feeling better. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year 2024 !🍸🍸 Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.
Thanks guys! Happy New Year to you as well! 🎉
True, we've just visited the water falls (Tad Sae and Kuang Si) and the peaceful town itself last month. Nice drone's views. Some infrastructures need improvement to really attract more domestic and foreign visitors. It's truly nature's paradise for everyone. Thanks for sharing with useful and enthusiastics descriptions.
i love that u have ur dad in all ur videos, subbed just for that, and ur unique adventures lol
Welcome to Lao Alina, great to see utuber introduced my country to go around the world
Laos definitely looks amazing! A lot to see and do. That waterfall is spectacular. Great video! Stay happy and safe, guys!
Thank you, will do!
Laos I have heard is very beautiful. If I visited Laos, it would be more than just for the beauty. I have been reading a lot about the history of Laos and I am interested in all these Laotian political figures - Prince Souphanouvong, Kaysone Phoumvihane, Prince Phetsarath, Prince Souvanna Phouma. My favourite Laotian was General Phoumi Nosavan.
that waterfall is super amazing i have never visited this part of the world
Thank you for sharing! My husband and I will be visiting Luang Prabang next month. I love the Lao culture and food is amazing!
Hope you enjoy it!
Spectacular waterfall! Laos is so beautiful and thanks to your video we can know it better. Thank you Alina and dad for this wonderful video. Happy New Year Alina and dad❤⭐️🌲⭐️🌲⭐️🌲
Thank you so much and happy holidays to you as well, Gabriella! 🎄❤️
I LOVE WATCHING WHAT YOU SHARE ABOUT LAOS, THANK YOU!
I’m glad you like it there and have a great time 👌❤️ this city is where I was born and grew up till 13yrs old . Waterfalls was a great place, heaven on earth ❤
Laos natural beauty is very impressive despite lacking beaches.
Kuang Si Falls look like an other worldly landscape. How did Peter Jackson and the WETA Workshop miss this? The possibility for movie making here needs someone to tell a story. New Zealand has its share of them but Laos holds its own surprises! 😊
Very true! Looks right out of Rivendell
After 🇨🇦 cost of living & weather off course Laos is heaven 😎
In the next few years, I'm going to buy a house in Laos near the mountains or overlooking the river. The cost of living in the USA is too much for me. I plan to retire in 2042.
Watching this series has made me rethink Laos now in adding it to my travels so thank you!
You totally should!
Sabaidee!!! I have been in Luang Prabang. Very affordable and beautiful. There is an excellent elephant sanctuary near Kwangsi that is sustainable and treated elephants naturally compared in Thailand. What you have said it is totally incredible!!!
That’s lovely!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you for ❤❤❤Laos!
Thank you for showing Laos. It's an eye opener. To me, Laos seems to offer Southeast asian country but more peaceful, not too many tourists, not too many crowd. The waterfall looks good. I can definitely enjoy sightseeing there. Interesting!
It definitely has a lot to offer!
This is lovely Alena, and the green colors in Laos are just everywhere you pur your eyes on. You are stunning in that swimming outfit ❤
Gordon is a great addition thanks for including him
Your dad, Gordon, is such a great adventurer.
Thank you very much for visiting 🥰 we are very welcome 🥰🥰
The water falls is amazing I can see your dad even bit tired but he's happy
Breathtaking falls!Thanks for sharing!Your smile says it all! Looks like a blast!😮
Beautiful scenery and good vibes from the locals
Water fall is so impressive and beautiful.
As always sitting in front of the laptop writing down your recommendations for my own travel plans! Love this! And cheers to your Dad, he is just great!♥♥
Aw thank you very much!
@@AlinaMcleod ♥
Thank you for visiting Laos 🇱🇦 and sharing your amazing time in Luang Prabang to the world 🙏
I have been to Kuang Si waterfalls several times and they always amaze me. Your drone footage is so beautiful, I want to go again!
Wow. Amazing tour and great video shooting Alina. I like too much last minutes and drone recording. You have impressive waterfalls in southern Laos, near Pakse.
Hi Alina,
I have been to Laos, Vientiane and Luang Prabang. Stunning impression from the Quang Xi falls🥹
I had a picnic for lunch right at the main waterfalls. It was stunning!
Best regards, Ralf
Wow Alina never have I ever seen such falls before. The whole area there is fantastic looking. Thanks as always for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful country of Laos. I was in Laos from late 2018 (before Covid) until 2020 -during and after Covid 19 pandemic.
Welcome to Laos, I would recommend you to visit my hometown, Bokeo, by slow boat. You gonna enjoy the views of the Mekong river.
Alina, ph has more amazing falls which other vloggers described it as similar to Avatar, the movie. And you can dive as high as you want. No restrictions. 😊
You know how to make the beautiful video. I really enjoyed watching of the wonderful shot of the scenery. Awesome video!
Great drone footage of the waterfalls. It sure adds to the beauty and quality of the video. Instead of showing my family my pictures of Luang Prabang I’ll just show them your videos. Great job as always.
I’m so glad!
Great video, heading out to Laos tomorrow, can’t wait.
Hope you have a wonderful time!
Thank you for sharing this video with us, and have a wonderful day.
So beautiful natural country in the world, thanks for a nice clipt.
Warmly welcome to visit Laos…Mainly Luang Prabang. It is my hometown. Thank you very much for your great video shot.!
Hello Gordon :)
it's really nice to see you travelling with your dad. Enjoy Laos and stay safe ❤️
I'm glad you like laos. I really wanna travel back to my home country laos too. Maybe soon. I got my passport already.👍
It looks incredible! Thanks for sharing, Alina 😊
Thank you for visiting my country. I am Laos, live in America and a US citizen.
Your dad reaction was the highlight of this video. Happy new year and cheers
Yes, I lived there I travel to Laos 🇱🇦 every year Luangprabang is a beautiful places you should explore more places if you’re staying there longer love your video
Sadly only had the month long visa and takes a while to produce videos, so will have to come back another time for a more extensive trip.
i got a bunch of that whiskey home to canada , had such an amazing boat ride with a sunset on way back from caves. i love loas so much and like omg the fooood.
Amazingly beautiful sites! Thanks for your video Alina!! 😊
I enjoy your Laos series and the waterfalls are spectacular. Thanks for sharing.👍👌
I was in LP and Vientiane last year. I agree that it is a fabulous place to visit. In addition to everything you said, I like the laid back lifestyle and light traffic for the most part. No particular worries about scamming or touts. I was a bit surprised by how much English is spoken at least in visitor-related services. It is also quite affordable for those with USD or similar currencies, though I understand the inflation for locals has been bad, for which I am sorry.
Very true. I was also surprised about the traffic, nothing as crazy as Vietnam lol.
Great tour, thx for the images! Glad ur getting to share it w/ your dad too :)
Beautiful textiles. Magnificent cliffs and riverscapes. Spectacular waterfalls - drone shots are stunning. Huge old trees - maybe a fig next to Gordon. Certainly is a very impressive looking country - love to visit - thanks for showcasing what is on offer.
Great country and amazing video Alina, thanks for sharing it with us.
YAY! A new video! I love your videos of Asia/South East Asia the most.
I’m so glad ☺️
This is one of my favorite videos. I watched it 3X and rang in the New Year watching it.
Thanks for the company & Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🥳🎈
Thank you and thank you so much for doing an awesome video to show my home country. I'm making notes to visit where you are at. LOL. I had to watch at time stamp 4:01 again at your dad's reaction when he had that drink. hahahaha, can't wait to see your lived stream, hope to see how they celebrate New Years to come. If you are still there.
You definitely have to visit again! We are actually in Thailand already.
Thanks, amazing video. I will visit Lao soon
Amazing waterfall and wonderful nature video 🎉🎉🎉❤
Beautiful video Alina 🧡thank you x
Good to see you have recovered from your stay in vomiting in Vietnam and are now enjoying Laos which looks fantastic, nice people and fun experiences ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Such a stunning place. I arrived here today and look forward to make great experiences 😎 thank you for these insights.

Hi Alina. It's a very good video. The river tour is awesome.
This waterfall is amazing and beautiful. This is the second most beautiful waterfall after Plitvice lakes in Croatia europe.
Love Luang Prabang. Been there 2 times, first with the husband and second time with the whole family. Never gets tired, in Luang Prabang time just stood still, no rush and relax. Planned on going back this May, can’t wait.

Fantastic nature and scenery. Have I ever been to Loas; no. I have only been to Canada ( Niagara Falls) , on a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas, and have traveled throughout the USA. ( mostly central USA) Too busy working to travel much beyond that.
Beautiful ! Wonderful 👍
Thanks for visited Laos, hope you enjoy
View was amazing..
Nice vlog.💙...
