- Get an idea at how much it costs to rent in one of Laos' most liveable cities.. Savannakhet. A 2 bedroom house only 3 kms from the new night market area alongside the Mekong and a large family home which can be used for business also located in the CBD(central business district) of Savannakhet. Both great value and very affordable.

How to find affordable rentals homes or even wanting to purchase in Laos? DO NOT SEARCH ONLINE! Many do and are confronted with extremely high prices compared to what the landlord or seller is wanting. Your best bet is driving around the area you're interested in and looking for phone numbers on fences/properties. It is the way most Lao rent homes or sell land. Very few use brokers. Another way to search for rentals is to join some Laos expat pages and ask there. Many Lao watch these pages for foreigners wanting accommodation. Remember.. the first price is always a starting point. Negotiate!
Great advice - get boots on the ground and start the Recce
I thought you can purchase in laos only for residents. U need to be a citizen to own residential land.
@@brirashrn5445 Yes, that is correct. Many foreigners do buy in their wife's name though.
Thank you for that important info.
Bro I love you channel..how can foreigners buy a house only n wife name until you be a citizen is true
I think that Savannaket would be a good place for a westerner to live. There is a Thai immigration office where you can get Thai visas (5,000 baht for a 6-month multi-entry visa). Your rental price is very reasonable and it would cost a lot more in Vientiane.
Only 200 a month that's cheap I'm planning to retire in Laos in the future
Savannakhet ,has always impressed me on these videos.As a westerner (Australian) Savannakhet,is very inviting ,and liveable city,for sure.
Cheers....Kenno
The steel mat along the fence line is called Marston Mat , it was made in Marston North Carolina, USA . The Sea Bees used this interlocking mat to construct runways and roads in record time during WW2 .I have used it in the Arctic to support runways .
Tod, Neena's Dad's house was probably housing some people that were passing on radio messages from the aircraft I worked on in 1968 and 1969. The aircraft were based at Udorn RTAFB, Udon Thani, Thailand.
Living in Laos is so affordable but it’s Freddy that inside the city it’s the same price as Bangkok…it’s ridiculous when you think about it.
We currently are renovating a house in Vientiane and it cost 2k to do about 12k worth of work. Our neighbors built on their land a whole new house for $20k. Hopefully our channel can inspire people to go back home and live/build
Great vlog.
🤗🙏🏼!
Wow! The house is holding up pretty well, considering that it was built, probably 5 decades ago. It looks nice still, I hope it gets rented soon.
Thank you for taking us along.
Take care.
I was born and raised in Laos...came to the US when I was about 7 years old. Seeing some of your videos makes me want to move back home!
Harriet and I will pass this info on to some people that might be interested. in our Lao community here in Richmond. Harriet and I have some property in my family that's in Castelo Branco,
Portugal that we want to sell as well. We have been doing upgrades on the house. When we come to Lao if Neenee's house is not sold we would love to rent it. Savannakhet looks very inviting. We wish you both whatever you decide to do. It's great value and very affordable. All the best Todd 👍 from Jim and Harriet
Nice tip there regarding the real estate agents, thank you!
Great info, my guy !
Good video 🏴👍
Nini is a land baroness now I know who’s the big boss of the family 😊
Hi Todd, enjoying your videos from here in New York mate! Keep up the spirit and stay healthy bro!!
Glad you're enjoying them. Thank you
Looks like a great place for a great price. 👍
Hi Todd, the timeliness of your video is impeccable. I'm landing in Vientiane on Nov 19. I expect to stay in Laos for quite some time so a home rental sounds perfect.
I love this town. Spent a week there with my buddy who was a long time resident. Fantastic vibe amongst the place and the people are warm and welcoming.
Cant wait to go back and explore more. The province is great.
Oh, and i had to court for about a year or so. Very slow. Like something fron the Georgian days.. If you can manage the wait, you'll get a pearl or a sapphire, but if you rush it and choose wrong, you'll end up with pebble or a stone that you want to throw away. Paitence is key. 11:25
I am coming there soon,,thanks for the info
Great to see you !!!!!
Same 👍
Love in Laos beautiful 💗💗💡💡👍👍😎😎
It's always good to find a good house design.my best are Mediterranean house designs like those in California Hollywood Los Angeles or Italy.
Nice videos
Hi Todd,,nice little roadie! On the smaller house, I love the fricken dragon doors,,,they are a load of awesome sauce! Great price too. Interesting history on the other house. Must have been a home to an embassy flunky,,,, or a spook lol was that the 1st time Mina met Uncle? She kinda looked startled. Hows school going for her? I'd imagine shes well caught up by now,,with her mind I'd guess shes ahead of the game. Its completely amazing how well she fits into everything you guys do. Our fall is a crapton better than last fall,,one snow ,,but mostly beautiful. I'd still go camping,, got a great winter bag! Lol you all take care,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
good evening guys
I can’t get enough - 👍🙂
Can you name the song you used at the end of this video? I love it!
What part of Thailand is it near when you said there’s friendship bridge , I quite like the market you were in the other night and I agree the’ve done a really good job on that river side looks lovely , mind you that dragon does remind me of the ex.
That same area.. Savannakhet. Mukdahan across the river in Thailand.
It's a really Lao town. Laid back but has what you need and Thailand is across the pond. I think the surrounding area is lovely. Very rice paddi and rustic. Quality people. Salt of the earth. That is where the founder of the nation came from. There are a proud town. I'd retire there .
@@williamstropicalfarm5082 sounds like you have been there before then, I have only seen Lao through the eyes of their channel and what I’ve seen as yet not seen anything I haven’t liked , I am from a rural area here in England so I have always lived far from the madding crowd anyway.
Ninis house is like my mum's farm house same size
In big towns here some houses are extremely expensive but not worth the price except for location and land.
I stayed a month in a short-term apartment in Cambodia and it was 300 a month, and nowhere as nice as Nene's place. Whole house for that price is definitely a bargain. 40,000 is a dream any place else. BIG WET E26 is past and look forward to the next chapter. Thanks to all of you!
If I was in my 20s again brother from another mother I would have done that tree for a case of beer hahaha sorry I’m getting a little bit older now it would have to be two cases and maybe a doobie 😊
👍👍
I’ve only seen Vientiane 12 yrs ago ,,most of the people I saw didn’t seem near as happy as Thai’s ,,made me feel sorry for them .
Went to an interesting and very old temple ,,inside it had strange cheap looking rotating coloured lights, type of things that just seemed so out of place.,they obviously like them,,Maybe i was unlucky but the only markets I went to the vendors seemed to be all unhappy,,and because of that I have had no interest in revisiting Laos,,,Since I started watching your videos I’ve done a turnaround and would be happy to go back see more of the country.
Laos nowadays are much more happy than the thai s bunch of fake plastic smiles ... only smile for money . Go to laos the real land of smiles
There's a story behind dad's place, let Nini tell it, any story why the two tone grout levels don't match RHS of front door entrance?
Maybe you should ask Neenee.😏
Super price
Hi Todd, Neenee, Mina. I must be spoilt by pre Covid Thailand, but also this last Feb, Seim Reap, and Thailand, 5 star on beach $15 a day, it seems expensive in Laos? Because they like American$ lose to much in exchange of Aussie $. I think I heard you say Prado Todd? Good choice, 😋😊, keep up the good work mate, if you don't have Maxi tracks, dont be afraid to lower the tyres in the extreme soft stuff, 😉 take care all, 🤗.
proper home for 50 us, the same price as my home in Thailand I pay, to my sister-in-law! who lives for free on our property. for decades. mind you her hubby maintains the home. but that is the Thai way! I love Asia if you can accept their culture, spiritism, and superstition!
💯🔥💙👍
Bit of America music ..... Dont cross the river if you can't swim the tide would of been the ironic song selection Todd. I hope you n the mrs are well. Safe travels bud... I'm an aussie from the gold coast who is thinking seriously of a trip to laos via thailand in late January. We could maybe catch up somewhere in laos if you're keen. Few beer lao s.. lol.
Couldn't find a no copyright version of it, otherwise yes!
I'm obviously not a stalker but if I make it to Vientiane in Laos I'll keep an eye out for you if I go there.. Too easy Campese...
Cost of rent is nice Todd
As always a great vlog
Real estate agents are all crooks
What about renting cars,trucks,scooter, etc
Such a house in posh areas in our capital 2000usd $ rent .In small towns 300 to 400 or 500 $.
True story: I was looking to rent a house in the Indonesian countryside in 2008. My wife called about this house and she told me they said $100. I said $100 a month is fine. She said no. It's $100 for the YEAR! 😮😮😂😂 To be fair, I guess the people thought that whole area where these houses were was haunted? I don't know if it's really true but they said the Japanese had massacred a bunch of people there in WW2.
200 aud, that would be 4-5k aud to get dropped in qld
Watch out for the claymore.s lol
Not familiar with the birds of Laos. But typically done by weaver finches with many exceptions.
❤👍👍👍🙏
cycling in Laos or cycling holidays in Laos? what do you think.
Hi mate what is monthly visa amount in laos
Hi Todd, is that the end of the Big Wet Tour? Or is there still more to come? I have enjoyed every minute of it and I am so grateful that you took us along with you for the ride. Loved NeeNee's little house and if I was looking for somewhere to rent I would snap it up. Guess I will just have to make do with Isaan, which actually I love.🙂 Actually it probably wouldn't take us long to come over and visit you as we are only about 2 and a hlf hours from Nong Khai. Maybe we will just do that one day. We could even come by train! Maybe next year, God and Finances willing 🙂 God bless the 3 of you 😀❤🙏
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Dumb Question -Does the smoke from burning season affect Laos very much?, i know lots of Farang in Chang Mai head south during the Smokey season
It's just as bad in the north of Laos. The further south you go the better it gets 👌
The air quality is very poor all the way to Bangkok and further south. Even after the rainy season it is very poor all over south east Asia.
@@craiglatham The air quality in Laos is always good once the rain season arrives... around late June. The quality drops at burning season which is from late February.
Hi I have so many Questions about Savannkhet I was hoping your wife could help me understand somethings about this city also I have been staying in Savannkhet now for 2 weeks and apart from some drizzle of rain twice yesterday its not rained so it's not at all wet lol. Also have to apologise as great minds think a like my YT channel name was until yesterday almost the same as yours so I changed it. My first question if you could help is about business opening times as so many restaurants and cafe places seem to open and close when ever they feel like it and has something happened or changed here as many prime locations seem to have closed all together. 2nd what is the feeling towards the French history in Savannkhet? I ask as I looked on Google at places to see and a place by the river called the Deer House came up as a historical building yet when I went to have a look it's just about fallen down with the roof missing and it has no information signs about it's history.
3rd who has done all the amazing street art that's all around the streets near the Riverside?❤
Sorry, not much I can help you with about the business hours in Savannakhet as we don't live there, we live in Vientiane. We were only passing through. This video was captured in July.. the wet season.
Why aren’t the food stalls putting prices on there products ? I hate that they do that I always think they do that to cheat people on prices . In Canada there’s prices on everything.
Some do and some don't. I think your assumption that they are cheating people is incorrect. I would agree that in tourist areas they may be a bit of that bit not away from those areas. When you ask for the price and you don't think it is fair then simply ask some where else.
Look like haunted house. Scary...
👋🏻🤠🇫🇮
is that neenees house, could a couple live there thats not both thia and just keep nipping over the boarder for the visa,
Yes it is Terrance.. Yes you can, but remember only 2 border crossings into Thailand a year permitted for those who are visa exempt. More than that you'll need to purchase a visa to enter Thailand or fly in.
@@NowinLao i would love to come to laos but the wife is a stick in the mud for the uk, told her when she pegs it im going over, now where did i put them mushrooms 🤣
That PSP (Pierced Steel Plate) is the best thing to get you out of mud or sand. Used by the US to build runways in tropical countries. Nab a few lengths and keep it in the motor.
You’d be looking at$1500+ to have that tree dropped in Qld
Hell man I would have done that tree for a case of beer and $40 us when I was a younger man hahaha
At a minimum. Bushyboy Oz.
1500 AUSD is like $100 bucks… 555 Lol you set yourself up for that.. Cheers
@@donjordan8174 not really, I do all my own tree trimming and felling. This is what others have been quoted. I know better
Do they give foreigners a long term visa or have to have "investment " money like Thailand?
Other than spouse or tourist visa (which you can continually extend and do visa runs) there's a 12 month multi entry visa for about $500-600
@@NowinLao ok, Thanks
How much is the section over there I want to buy some land
Depend on location can buy land $5k-$20k
Bro i like you channel be a citizen or resident u can buy a house or name of your wife n how long can be a citizen orr residence
Better to loose a mango tree than loose a home and possibly a life don’t you think.
Todd whats the deal with foreigner's owning houses in lao? Can we own the land?
No can do, only rent.
Can you get a long term visa
Yes. B2 visa. Multi entry, renewable each year.
Sir is 50 dollar for you but to us hmong USA are 200 dollar a week.....
50 a week is 200 a month 😉
dam they setting traps LMFAO
HOW IS THE GIRLS IN LAO????? THX
Did someone rent that’s place already Todd? I will rent the house for $50. Let me if they available for rent. Don’t have to be in Savanaket Province. I’ll take for hundred dollars or more.Thank 😊
Contact details in description 👌
You can rent a much better apartment in China for the same price
But then you wouldn't be living in Laos
Can I rent a car in Laos
Sure
$50 is click bait .Its $200 ,which is far too much for Lao.
It says in the thumbnail $50 / week. How TF is that clickbait!? Get your eyes checked! $200 a month for a 2 bedroom house too expensive..? Run along Charlie
@@NowinLao Everyone quotes rent in Asia especially Thailand and nearby Countries per month not per week Soft lad .There are loads of better houses than you showed in the Chiang mai area for $200 per month .Chiang mai has vastly better infrastructure than Lao ,which is dirth poor .
Someone give this man a golden shower
Lao is dirt poor.. yet here you are whining about $50 a week rent. Ok 😐
@@anthonydowling3356don't come to Laos with that attitude dude. Keep Laos happy and friendly just like it is.
Do they let us stay more than 30 days .
Sure.. can extend a tourist visa up to 90 days. Then do visa run and repeat if you want more time 👌
I am American Thai live in USA for long time see if i sign the lease for a year . What would happen if i can not extend my visa .
