    Welcome to Asia’s least known country, nestled between Vietnam, Thailand, China and Myanmar - it’s LAOS!
    I came here in search of the most remote tribe in the country (which I discovered on the border of Myanmar), but along the way, I filmed this $10 video in some of the remote towns and villages.
    There is a special place in my heart for this country and this kind of storytelling, and I’m very grateful if you are here watching with me!

    Laos fun fact: Tam Pa Ling (Cave of the Monkeys) in northeastern Laos was the site of some important discoveries. In 2009, the cave turned up an ancient skull before offering an even older jaw bone (the oldest to be found in Southeast Asia) the following year. The jawbone, which is at least 46,000 years old, proves early hominids didn’t just migrate from Africa along coastlines, they followed inland rivers as well.
    Laos is a good friend of ours! We operate a few restaurants there where waitresses sing and dance in hanboks and serve hot pot, as well as a night market! Them managing to take their country for the people by overthrowing the kingdom in 1975 is admirable...it's ironic that the FRENCH who famously overthrew their own monarchy backed this monarchy against revolutionaries. Same for the Americans because they ironically kicked the British out of their own!

    Yup, Laos is an underrated country! Neighboring Vietnam and Thailand get all the tourists, but Laos deserves some love! The sour fruits you ate are called hog plums from the genus Spondias. There are are different species of Spondias found in Asia and the Americas but the one found and cultivated throughout Southeast Asia is Spondias pinnata. They're sometimes called a forest mango because they're related to mangoes in the same family Anacardiaceae.
    1:14 The guy on the 100,000 kip you're holding is Kaysone Phomvihane who was the first General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party from 1955 to his death in 1992.

    Nice video! Planning a trip this fall to Laos and am really looking forward to it. I’m working on an itinerary and for about 14 days in country, and from an agency I used for Vietnam that offers solo travelers local guides, drivers and lodging in the areas they provide for in the north, I’m thinking 4 days around Luang Prabang, 6 days around Phongsali and 4 days covering Vientiane, Phonsavon and Plain of Jars. The itinerary includes time on the Nam Ou River in the northeast, though I will see if they can provide service in the northwest area that you visited, as I am particularly interested in the ethnic minority cultures. Cheers!
