This is our second day on our Mekong River cruise to Luang Prabang, Laos!
We started our journey in Chiang Rai, Thailand. We then took a bus to Chiang Khong, Thailand. We stayed one night before crossing the border to Laos. The border crossing was very easy and was organized by our tour guide. We boarded our two-day slow boat cruise down the Mekong River. In this video, we will show our itinerary for the second day of the cruise and our first impressions of Luang Prabang.
We left Pak Beng at sunrise to continue down the Mekong River. Our first stop of the day was at a handicraft village. The local villagers make handicrafts to supplement their income and we were happy to go shopping and buy some pretty scarves and bracelets.
After visiting the village, our cruise continued down the river until we arrived at Pak Ou Caves. These caves are majestically set in the exact spot where the Mekong River meets the Nam Ou River. These caves are home to over 5,000 Buddha images, of all different shapes and sizes, dating back to the 16th century. We had a great time exploring the caves and stretching our legs from the boat ride.
We arrived at our destination in Luang Prbabng, where we enjoyed some delicious food at the huge night market! We can't wait to show you more of this city in our next video!
We booked our tour with Nagi of Mekong and absolutely loved it! If you are considering a cruise down the Mekong River we highly recommend Nagi of Mekong:

I take my vacation to Laos every year. I like the low population. It's very quiet place. It's not noisy and busy like Vietnam or Thailand.
We loved that about Laos as well!
No covid no mask ?
Another world! Beautiful and some kind of sad ....this is it ....
Good luck my friends! 🙏🙏🙏👍
Thank you friend! It was so rewarding to experience such a different culture!
Incredible! Laos is on my list of places to visit for sure. I hope to do Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in a few month travel adventure
You should! Sounds like an awesome itinerary! Thanks for watching!

From China to Vietnam, the Mekong River is the lifeblood of Southeast Asia and offers a glimpse into the long history and diverse cultures of the region. The 12th longest river in the world and the 7th longest in Asia

Hi! Thanks for watching!!
Visit my temple in Vientiane.
Sammy and Tommy, it looks liked ya have so much fun in Laos. And see a lot of different interesting places. Is this ya first time there in Laos and where you from..?
We had an amazing time in Laos! It was our first time visiting! Can’t wait to visit more of the country! We are from the PNW in the US. Where are you from?
Sammy, you keep saying "Loation." That's wrong. It's Laotian or just Lao. Lots of youtubers make same mistake.
Good to know 👍 Thanks for the help Jerome!
Look like you guys had so much fun there, I wish that I could go back to visit Laos soon! Thank you for sharing! What a great filming! Love it!
Aw thank you for such a sweet compliment , we really did enjoy our trip to Laos !
at hours and days of the greatest human imbecility ..world war 3,I have one thing to tell you.please take care of each other, you are two people after this earth who have the chance to love, true love.and keep in mind that on this earth a human soul has looked beyond images.
Sammy, don't forget .. YOU are the power and determination for your MAN. love him, you have chosen him .
I have no idea what will happen in Europe. War is already a reality. I am glad to have met you and I wish you a lifetime.
stay away from europe and america. for now
You take care of yourself as well Marian! Thanks for all the love and support!
This video must be prior to the pandemic. Am I right? Regardless when it is taken, it is very interesting trip. Thanks for sharing.
It is filmed pre-pandemic. We are almost caught up and will be posting newer videos soon, glad you still enjoyed it! 💖
I'm from Bangkok, just surprisingly nobody wear mask in Laos, I wish Thailand could be like that also, we are too long for mask rule😅
As they stated in one of the replies, this was film before the COVID 19.
Just found your video now and love it. Is Laos open to tourist now? I am asking because I plan to visit but was told the country is still closed. TIA
Hi there! This video is filmed pre-pandemic, however we reached out to Nagi and they hope to resume cruises around May!
@@SammyandTommy Thank you for your response.
omg I knew your tour guide her name is suy? I think she is now USA
Yes! Oh really? She was the best! Would be awesome to reconnect 🤗

It is a beautiful place! We are currently traveling South America!
Hey guys! I was planning to go to Laos from Chiang Rai but, as far as I know, the borders are closed and Laos doesn't accept tourists, how did you do it??
Do you have permission from the parents of the children to publish pictures of them?
Western don't know Laos
90 % Americans don't Laos
Pronounced L-A-O . . . not L-O-A ‼️
