    Mate, I have been living in the United States since 1978, and I left Laos in 1975. The last place I live before leaving Laos was Thong Mien, right between where you pee and where Neenee say "it's beautiful." The only place I remember and can recall as a 6 years old in 1978.

    Hard to watch this region at times. It reminds me of my father who passed last year from covid. Talked about this area moving towards Phou Bia mountains where he was born. He went back after 30yrs and I didnt get a chance to visit with him then because I had not care in the world to visit a country I couldnt relate to at the time. I want to go in time when things are safe again. Thanks for sharing.

    When I first came to Laos in 2003, Xaisomboun was closed to foreigners and Lao outside of Xaisomboun needed a special permit to enter. It was called Xaisomboun Special Zone. There was still a bit of argy bargy going on between the Lao government forces and Hmong ethnic group.

    • @NowinLao
      @NowinLao  Před 2 lety

      Not much through traffic at all Peter. Most of the traffic in the area is from mining. It's only been a province since 2013, and a lot of money has been invested in the area from mining. Before 2013, it was a special militarized zone, and very few outsiders were allowed to travel here. I was very surprised by the development here also.
