sok dii der
Hahaha even left out the bits I skipped. Very good Nick. 👌😁👍
@@NowinLao What’s amazing is the combination of the age of Google Street View (2014?) and the growth of vegetation and new building of Laos.
My Lao language skills are pathetic. I will say to a khon Lao : “Sok dii der”.
I’ll get a response such as “555 falang wow passa lao dai dii lai lai der”.
I’ll continue with a “khoy sang jao” or a “khoy yak kin ob sin ma”.
Such skills won’t get me far.
Lol.. you do know what you said yes? I didn't, but I asked Neenee. Lol
I hate you..
I want to eat steamed dog.. 😅
I wanna come to work with you
I just discovered your channel and really, really enjoy it. I never realized how nice Laos is and what a beautiful people and a beautiful country. The people are so open and friendly. I subscribed to your channel and I’am glad I did. I’am an old guy 78 years old and don’t get out much so I’am enjoying your videos. Your wife seems like such a nice lady and I think you lucked out on that one. Ha
Hey Wolf, thanks for subscribing mate, I really do appreciate it. Really nice to hear such positive feedback, thanks... and yeah, my wife is a gem 💎
Take care my friend 🙏
Tod needs to organise a tour for us with tucka and a camp arranged.
Very beautiful fresh market. Nice
I hope Neenee feels better, she is such a joy. Anyway, this was an excellent video of what "real life" in Laos looks like. Thanks so much, loved it.
I enjoy watching ur video every things are fresh thank you for sharing☺️
Nice video next time I will visit your restaurant when I come to visit Laos
Awesome mate, thanx for the ride today 🙏
Just subscribed so im binging :) Its my job too to do the market run at 6 am - lucky for me theres a fine lady who insists on making me a tea and coffee to keep me going as I lug th bags lol. Its grand being the onlly farang in the market, the ladies give me such jip to much laughter all round. Grand vlog Oz.
Very big market, it go on an on , very interesting , also it interesting how you adapted to their daily life in Lao
Fantastic these markets mate, I could walk round them all day. 🙏
Good morning 🌅🙏🙏🌄🛣 great vlog video roads look nice and smoove keep it safe driving 🙏🙏🛣🛣
Good morning Souliphanh... thanks mate 👍
Love these long video. Keep up the good work. And congrats on 10,000 subs!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks HumNoy 😁
Todd, thanks for posting content at such a high frequency. I was an English teacher in Laos but, because of covid, I had to go back to the states. Through your videos, I've been watching them vicariously. I can't wait to go back. Seeing the market, the red dirt roads, the mountains, listening to you describe the storms, and vent about the heat over there is just nostalgic. Keep cranking out those vids. Have a blessed day!
Hi Peter and thanks. Where abouts were you teaching?
@@NowinLao At the Faculty of Engineering - NUOL (Ban Sokpaluang)
We just subscribed to your channel. We are planning to visit Laos in 2023. I hope everything is semi back to normal. We want to visit your restaurant. Kay and Jim
You are in good hands.. I glad to work for you, I have fever back in USA.
You summed up driving in South East Asia perfectly....there are only two rules.
1/ patience.
2/ expect the unexpected.
I love Laos. Can't wait to go back.
I think the lack of signage is a direct result of Laos respect for other people and human life:)
That VLOG was amazing.....You are such a down to earth person....Jeff
Thank you Jeff
Would like to hear you talk more Lao. Lol That would be very impressive. Doing a great job vlogging keep up the great work!!
Baby steps Sam, baby steps.. give me time. Pretty hard teaching an old dog new tricks....but I'm tryin 😁
WOW that place is busy. Not a lot of smiles though. Great to see things getting back to normal.
It was early, nobody likes to smoke in the morning 🙄
That’s a cool market a lot of good fresh products. Love the way you drop off the tickets and come back for the orders 👍 Wish they had those market like that here in the US
Looks awesome there! I hope to visit one day
Defensive driving is the key in Laos.
Todd love watching you..i would love you doing video on eating food and doing fruits love your video..keep up great work 👍
Thank you 🙏

Hi Phonexay and thank you for commenting. It really makes me happy that I can give you a little enjoyment thru watching my videos and showing you your homeland today. If you don't mind..where abouts in Lao did you live?
Thanks again, 🙏
Todd
I enjoy watching your video, thank you for sharing....
Hi Kim.. no problem, thank you 🙏
The place is much like it was in 1970 except the cars. Back then it was just lories and bikes except our jeeps. The market has not changed much that I can see. Thanks for the tour.
Damn mate i have been to markets in Thailand but this one is something else. Good Luck mate. Much success on reopening.
Massive ay. Cheers mate 👍
Brilliant. Glad I found ya mate
Legend 😁👍
That market is fantastic
That was great thanks!
Thanks Jason
I use to drive back in Asia.. then had to migrate to Canada and had to curve my way of driving to western standards.. (very very hard) One day after many years, I came back to Asia for 1 month vacation, I literally can’t drive the way I use to drive.
looks like you need a trolley of some kind in the back off the pick up so you can make things easy to pick up at the markets ...
No Coles online/home delivery like Aus. Love walking around S.E Asian markets. Never a dull moment.
28:32
Wow, Love that French model of bread. So nice. While in Thai, it was so scarce to see except in one Mall in Korat, Nakhorn Ratchasima.
Laos is awesome with unique ISAAN life style and food. Great job there Todd, Kob jai lai lai.
Lol you do know that the Isaan lifestyle and food is because it used to be Laos..👌 True Story 👍
Yes I am ready
Nice I would love to live there one day and it would be great to have a job there and experience how life there as well
Very busy morning market. It looks like no rules for parking.
Hi Nick, I hope to meet up with you in Laos. I am a travel geek and love to learn from you about this lovely country called Laos.
Busy market lol. You should have brought some staff with you to help lug that lot around haha.
Hey Richard, yes it is. Nah, I dont mind, and its great exercise. The staff already do enough and are still fast asleep from closing the restaurant the night before when we go to the markets. Always interesting the markets...this is my job and nobody else is getting it ! 😝
Used to live there .....honestly the best time off my life !!!!
Hi Todd. I live in the next village from you (Dong Paleb) and your videos are great to share with friends and family back home so they can see what life is like here. I have been here for more than 20 years and it helps to remind me what ‘outsiders’ might find interesting that I just don’t think about or notice any more .Thank you for making your videos.
Hi Tia.. you've been a subscriber for a while now... never realized you lived here, and so close! Thanks for the support and sharing, much appreciated 🙏
Yeah, literally just a couple of km from you. Your last (?) video showed you buying fruit from the place on Chao Anou Road which is just round the corner from my house! If I ever see you round and about I’ll say hi. 🙋♀️ We got pretty lucky on the whole lockdown/ covid situation, eh? 🙂👍
@@tiashiraz8430 Lucky!?!? Best place in the world to be! The Lao people done a great job taking it seriously...most of the time. Lol
For sure! Make sure you do say hi... and apologize if I'm looking at you like...who the f*#& is this..😁😅
😂
@@NowinLao my country is horrible and now destabilized
I think the United States will soon be a failed state and I expect to be a 59 to 62 year old refugee .
Our president actually admitted he knew the danger while he lied to everyone.
I was smart enough but 600,000 dead so far and a strong attempt at ending democracy that continues
Your a brave man to drive in Laos. I hired a moped for one day and couldn't wait to hand it back the next day. I'll stick to walking or taking a tuk tuk.
G'day mate, i lost you and missed your vids for some time. You just reappeared today. You will definately improve my days again. Thanks mate, Sawasdee Krup.
Wally you silly bloody wombat... subscribe my man, you won't lose me then. 😁👍
Glad ya back mate 🍺
@@NowinLao555, must hae pressed the rong button mate. I'm happy to be back. Chok dee.
Love you in Laos
Nicr video
ขอบใจเด้ออ้ายที่ฮักปะเทดลาว
Nice! For you work ok
Thanks Todd for shoveling us a typical day. How often do you go to market for the restaurant? Do you think Lao will ever change? I’ve been in the food business for over 40 years. We call our orders in to the companies and they deliver or place the order on line for delivery. My brother in law had a South East Asian restaurant and grocery store. He used to go to the local produce market at 4:30 AM to get all his produce and then go to Chinatown to get fresh noodles. This way it would be fresh when the store opened. Maybe the market needs to have some hours early in the morning for restaurants. Do any of the farms do a co-op thing? Thanks again and take good care. Hope all are well. 🍻 Cheers!
Hey bro
You from Laos?
If you are
Please could you tell me what do you think of China
I've read that china has put laos in a debt trap
Laos is a good place to live, if you are retired & do small business.❤❤❤✌🤘👌👍
u be busy young fella 555
Traffic in SAE is a beautiful chaotic dance
Great video 👍...hard day's work never killed anyone...do you have Aussie friend's over there that you hang out with sometimes,..,,,🍻🍻
Thanks Karl... nah It's a great mornings exercise mate, great job 👍
Would you believe, the owner of this Market is an Aussie!
ruclips.net/video/CcPQko0a4UM/видео.html
I remember one video y ok U was telling us about him ...how is your learning Lao going?
Slowly 😏
Are you still in Laos and how often you go to Laos? It’s fun and I loved foods, you’ll never hungry cause vendors everywhere.
สะบายดี
Didn't know Laos had big melons. Heard about the spicy peppers though.
I thought that area would be off the banana pancake trail , but no they make them
Even more so up North. 👍
Hi mate
I totally enjoy watching the vlog I've been to Lao a couple of times with a friend who was a political refugee that left Laos around 1974 he came out with the British ambassador at the time Alan Davidson. He now runs a Thai restaurant in the UK we grew to be good mates as I lived and worked in Thailand for 5years as a exec chef. Lao is such a beautiful country and I hope to return their soon. My friends wife has two sister who run a restaurant in pon Keng by Lao American University they live in Bam Amone where I stay when I'm out there I've been down to Paksi and the 4000 island.
I waffle on more than you haha. Anyway carry on with the great videos reminds me of good times in these times of pandemic peace ✌️ Lee
That's a huge market!
The smell is interesting at these markets huh!
We actually bought a little esky for the meet and fish.
Works a treat.
Interesting is a nice word to describe it, yes😝
My family shop there :)
Hi...! Todd what about the jobs in Laos for foreigners. And where can find ? Please do a vlog about that Todd.... interested.
👍👍👍
has the restrictions in Laos been lifted? I seen another video of a couple in Vientiane saying everything is allowed to be open, there were 3 different crowds of people near the river doing aerobics and they had beer and pizza at a bar
All but. Very relaxed restrictions now. No international borders open yet, and a few places and events where social distancing can't be adhered to, such as the popular night markets in Vientiane...
Anchovy - yum
You should get a wagon to wheel around and make it easier for u
I know i complain about it...but really, I dont mind. It's great morning exercise. 😁👍
great video of market, which is cleaner than what i’m used to seeing in philippines and indonesia. abundance of food after lockdown is encouraging. interesting that in all of your videos i see nothing overtly indicating that the lao peoples democratic republic is a “command economy.” does the lao pdr government simply focus on politics and leave the private sector economy free to operate in a capitalist style? i’m not judging, just wondering. is the seafood trucked in or flown from thailand? it should be expensive. oh, and why wouldn’t you bring one of the restaurant staff along to help? cheers.
Hey Todd how are you and Neenee ....all good i hope ...was wondering if you could find out how much is a fridge in Vientiane ...want to buy one for the mother in law .....oh how much in aussie dollars please ...would appreciate it very much
👍
Laos has the highest per capita food production figures in the entire world. It's almost like a food economy.
I'm not surprised. There may be some poor people here, but not many of them go hungry.
Thanks for that info 👍
We did not see the restaurant!! Is there a video where you show it? Thanks
Yes, i have many on my channel of the restaurant, one video of it as recently as a couple of weeks ago..
@@NowinLao thank you
Amazing how long meat can be kept out of fridge
hahah same here in central China with the traffic and folk driving down one way roads etc, quick little story for ya all, I bought a new car in South China Hainan Island after living next to the beach for a full yr, decided to drive to the wife's village central china a good 3 full day drive etc, we crossed the sea with a ferry and started on our merry way, lovely scenery though, came to this mountain, and it was a single track road and sign saying the drive across this mountain is 5 hours so make sure your tank is full etc, so off we went car packed solid with everything, after 3 hours got to the peak of the mountain and guess what now do not forget its a single track road only... BLOODY road works top of mountain whole damn road dug up for miles and plonkers still trying to cross over the boulders and i mean BOULDERS LOL.. i also tried hahha until, the 5ft holes prevented me from going any further, PLONKERS did not even think about putting a sign up bottom of the mountain to say dear drivers road is closed due to road construction top of mountain FFS, mate I was gobsmacked and totally FUMING but eh ho, we went down and around lol..
20:43 Yes there are some nice melons there Todd.
Are there any really popular youtube channels in Laos (in Lao) - learning English, comedy...?
..the reason I ask is I need to run a RUclips ad campaign for my English learning app...and I can't find any channels in Laos with a decent following. My ad videos are quite funny hence wanting to target comedy channels as well as language learning. Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia = easy! Laos = hard! Please help if you can.
Hey Will, i'm not really sure mate, it's not something that shows up on my feed. Do you have Facebook? I know this American guy who has lived here with his wife many years and he does a bit of comedy. Maybe he could point you in the right direction. If ya interested, message me on my Now in Lao FB page and i'll send you his details. If he doesn't know, nobody does.

Where is your restaurant located in Laos?
Hey Tod where is this market? Im Lao but little kangaroo now. I left Laos 40yrs ago😂
Hi Chantelle.. the Lao Aussie Market is about 10mins north of Vientiane in Nong Theng

ruclips.net/video/HjDfDnjyj_k/видео.html
Sorry didn't get the story behind the Aussie Lao market. Anyone got more info?
Here ya go mate 👍

Hey Todd, mate, do farangs hire drivers in Laos very much? I ask because I don't drive, (various reasons), and my missus is a bit flighty behind the wheel. We want to visit and clearly we need a car there. Is it like Vietnam ,where you can get a driver for a reasonable price? Also, any passionfruit grown over there? I never see it in the fruit stalls you show. Have a good one,all the best.
Sure they do mate... but can be a little pricey if you're hiring the car also. Best bet would be having your own car or arranging a vehicle to use, then hiring a driver. Be really cost effective that way considering the average monthly wage here is only about $200 US a month.
Will keep my eye out for passionfruit for you. Pretty sure I've had it here.. 🤔
@@NowinLao Cheers mate. I only ask about the passionfruit as I'm looking for a viable business idea over there., a niche in the market. Grasping at straws I spose. I've been teaching English for over 20 years, had about enough of that. Never mind, onwards and upwards.
I guess it’s better than your generic English teaching gig. Still not really sure what he does but..
Why not take a little trolley with you? Seems like it would make things easier for you.
I can carry more than what can fit in a small trolley, and a bigger trolley only gets in the way and slows us down....besides, its great exercise for me. I dont mind at all
The streets are egalitarian in SE Asia in that all conveyances have equal right to be there. And everyone is looking out for everyone else, not simply looking to rules to govern behavior.
Exactly! Not looking for somebody who broke a rule so they feel they have the right to abuse them!
I prayed to God every time my girlfriend takes me out on her bike in Vientiane. I will never get use to it. Traffic lights and signs are rarely obey in more rural area.
There's signs..? 🤔
Haha you get used to it 👍
Hello sir how are you, hope you are fine there
I'm your subscriber from 🇮🇳 what is the top speed of your pickup truck....🚘
In Laos...about 80km/h
the only thing that reminds you of back home is the amount of people Stuck on their Phones 5555
Hey Todd,, the market trips are the best! Id love to spend time there. How are you both doing? Poor Neenee must be working her tail off,,she looks a bit tired. Well my friend,,ive been doing some thinking and you have inspired me. I think im going to buy some editing software and a gopro 7 or 8 or even the Max. Over her they range from 229 us to 500us for the Max. Id be glad to take recomendations lol. I think the time has come for a Mountainman vlog and storytime lol. I do know a huge ammount of history of the western U.S. The battle of the little big horn or Custer battle, probaby the most famous of the Indian wars happened about 15 miles from my house. Basically all the major fights with the Sioux or more properly the Lakota happened within 150 miles. I think i could come up with something interesting,,, not 7 days a week though. Anyway,, its an idea at this point. Thanks for the trip to the market.. tell Neenee she has to take care of herself,, rest when she needs to rest and delegate tasks to her helpers. We dont want her back at the hospital. Take care friends,,,ttyl Marlon
Marlon... if you can make a comment so interesting like you do, you will have no problem creating interesting videos. Your idea is a great one mate and I would be very interested in learning more of what you know with your own unique spin on it.
As far as cameras my friend, I'm fairly certain you will make your mind up after watching this video. No need to over complicate it...👌

@Disaster Zondi thank you for your comment.. by the way, my great grandfather emigrated from Germany when he was between 4 and 8 in the 1870's. I dont know anything about where he was from, because neither he nor his parents ever spoke of Germany. I know he could still swear in German though. He was kind of a mystery even to my grandfater and his siblings. My Grandpa and all my Granduncles and Grandaunts were really nice , good people,so the old man must have done something right. 2 of the Grandaunts lived to be 101 and 104 respectively. See,, lol im a jabbermouth, once i start thinking i cant shut up lol thanks again and take care in Germany
Tod.
Your welcome to that job, I'd rather blade shear 200 merino rams on a Monday morning after a HARD weekend.
Ya need a bloody medal mate.
If you hit a pedestrian just jump out of car and run if they don’t catch you ,you’re good. Lao rule of driving.
And I thought you were on holiday. Ha Ha.
This is a holiday...😏
Love your shit man
Lol. Good shit 🍺😆👍
Why is it called the Lao-Aussie market? What is the Aussie connection?

You own the shopping space?
Hey mate. How is Covid19 situation in Laos? And by the way is this a recent video?
All good here Renz... we had only 19 cases, and none recorded for mire than 6 weeks now. Restrictions have loosened right up and can now travel freely within Lao. International borders still closed tho. Yes, recent vid from last Saturday 👍
@@NowinLao Good to hear that. Stay safe over there mate! My friends from Perth are saying hello!
should bring a trolley with you , easier ... 1 trip
Hi Todd. What kind of work do you do?
As little as possible 😁👍
