This video is a special one! I’d love your feedback on “tribe” stories because I hope to do more of these into next year. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!!!!
It was very cool to see how different regions live, especially remote ones such as this and what "normal life" is for them. I love your videos and have been enjoying the tribe stories thus far. It gives an interesting look at their traditions and the older traditions of countries they represent. Keep up the good work!
My grandparents, my parents, and we belong to Akha ethnic group, and from east part of Myanmar. Everyone in my family do speak Akha. Akha people are found in 5 different Asia countries: China, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. So basically, spoken language & dressing styles are a little bit different. Drew, it is lovely to see my people living in Laos through your video!
It's nice to see stuff about Laos, even though i'm not even from there. I just think it's an underrated country and not many people realise how beautiful it can be.
I was born and raised in a small akha village like this in thailand. I am now living in US.I do miss simple life ,all traditions and cultures.Thanks Drew!
I would too if I am you. Your culture and traditions are wonderful! Lao people to me seems like one of the most peaceful and kindest people you'd like to protect and care for.
low key though, she was exactly my type, she has one of those faces where she wears her personality on her face, you can just tell by looking at everyone in that village there kind and caring people
I LOVE the "tribe" stories! How have I not found your channel before now! I have such a soft spot for the indigenous people of the world. We got to live among the Tseltal people of Southern Mexico for 7 months and it changed my life. Thank you for documenting these cultures that are disappearing.
I instantly thought about Gran Torino movie, your culture seem pretty cool you like to meet Hmong but I don't think we have Hmong community here in France, but we do have viet and Chinese community I worked ten years with Chinese family
I lived in Laos 2007-2015 and had been going to Laos since 2003. Luang Namtha province is my favourite province because of its beauty and diversity. The markets you went to look like the markets in Muang Sing, up near the Chinese border. Akha are Animist. Just a little correction. The people of Laos call themselves Lao, not Laotian. Laotian is a western term, first coined by the British, I think. I've only ever heard one Lao call himself Laotian, and he was an alumni of an American university. Everyone else just calls themselves Lao. Some even specify, especially in the provinces, call themselves Lao Loum, Lao Soung or Lao Theung,, depending on their ethnicity. It's Lao people, Lao food, Lao music, Lao traditions, ,, just Lao.
How is the quality of life there? I'm from a nice city in the US and I want to explore Laos but i want to know if its dangerous or if there's consistent running water
@@TitaniumSlayerNinjaCopper Quality of life is good considering it is a communist country. Please check out a channel called Now In Laos. He is an Australian that documents his life living in Laos, very informative stuff from him on his videos will give you a good idea on what to expect if you're going to visit Laos
the french colonized us and called us Laotian, not the british for correction ^^ many lao of the diaspora and lao refugees who left during the civil war in laos during the 1970s still called themselves, "laotian" so it moreso due to a lack of keeping up with modern information, but it is not their fault at all. I myself (I was born in america), called myself laotian until I realized that laotian is a term that was not created by us lao people, it is a term that reminds us that the french still hold some of their colonial power over us when we still use the term, "laotian" but yes, it is better to call us lao, and even better to specifically refer to the different ethnic groups by their correct ethnic group name, like "Lao soung" "Lao Theung" for example ^^
@@TitaniumSlayerNinjaCopper ,, like all countries, quality of life varies. Laos is one of the poorest countries in Asia. There's a lot of wealth in Laos, also a lot of poverty. Many Lao are cash poor but wealthy when it comes to culture. It's one of the very few countries based on subsistence agriculture that people own their own land. Towns and cities have running water and houses have indoor plumbing. The more remote villages rely on stream or well water. I always felt safe in Laos. There are many areas where it's unsafe to walk off the beaten tracks because of the high amount of unexploded ordinances left over from the Second Indochina War.
20:57 when you talk about how old traditions are being phased out and globalization is spreading is quite sad to think about, since once it's gone, it never really quites come back :( thank you for documenting these amazing stories drew!!
This was awesome. As a Hmong-American who’s never visited Asia, your video described to me all the ways that Hmong and Akha(sp?) intersect culturally. The music, drinking, clothing, house construction, agriculture, all are very similar except for the language. There’s a whole world out there that behave like my parents 😂 I say that with love!
I came across this video from your pupua video. My husband is laotian, and we are thinking about planning a trip to laos to let his dad visit since he hasnt been there since he immigrated at 18. Learning about Lao culture and learning their language has been one of the greatest pleasures of my adulthood. I cannot wait to see this beautiful country, thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for visiting exploring my mother land. I left there since 1976 during the Vietnam war I’ve been in the USA for 43 years and I was fortunate enough to get a chance to go back to visit there twice.
Drew I love your tribe videos so much! It's my dream to meet tribes in a similar way that you do, you really learn and appreciate the culture and I love watching! I hope I can travel like you one day, watching you get to go here makes me feel like I at least get a chance.
Chanukah Sameach, Drew! Thank you for this very edu-taining video. Born in Indonesia, I grew up in former Dutch New Guinea. Then moved to the Netherlands. I am so pleased you show us these remote places and tribes. It is soothing my nostalgia for the smell and sounds of South East Asia
Wow this is one of the best videos you've posted! I'm so glad that you were treated so hospitably, I definitely want to visit Laos one day. I was just curious though on why Indian carnatic music was played the whole time :-)
I remember reading about the Akha people a month ago when I was searching for far away places where to visit and I stumbled upon a video made by a guy that visited that same place, though the video was much shorter and not as detailed as Drew's. Happy holidays dear Drew!
I have a favorite streamer on youtube and at first, I couldn't even get myself to watch your channel, but you really do a great job and I love how much you seem to genuinely care about the people and the culture. You're doing a great job Drew!
ສະບາຍດີ from an American living in (and watching this video) Laos! I love your videos and when I saw “Laos” in the title of this one, I clicked on it so fast! Laos is so often overlooked and I feel so much joy when I see people sharing about this beautiful country. Everyone should come to visit and meet the kind, friendly people who reside in this amazing country.
I visited Laos about 10 years ago. Of about the 30 countries I've visited Laos is in my top 2 for friendly people, Fiji is equal first with Laos in my opinion. My girlfriend and I hired a motorbike and cruised around the north of the country, children would come running out yelling Sabaidee Sabaidee as we rode by and I was waving to children all the time. In Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand you need to be on guard for people trying to rip you off, but I never experienced this in Laos. Many tourists noticed this unique charm about Laos, the genuinely friendly people, what you saw in this video is what people are like in Laos, whether it be city or country. The country is clean, the rivers aren't choked with garbage, the people have a real connection with their community. One young girl took us on a trek to some remote tribes where we walked for several days, when we went to pay her she asked us to give half the money to her sister who lived and worked in a town that we just happened to be going to. It felt really nice that she trusted us with her money and that she gave so much of her money to her younger sister. When I was in Laos it was a communist country (I believe it still is) and you would often see the hammer and sickle symbol on flags posters etc. In my opinion this country truly is an example of working communism, it is about as poor as its southern neighbor Cambodia, yet while in Laos I never saw people begging or living on the streets or in slums. The country is definitely poor but the wealth is much more evenly distributed than Cambodia where I saw many poor and desperate people. Laos is one of my favorite countries to visit and would be a great country to take children to. BTW The food is awesome, similar to Thai but definitely unique.
One by one these indigenous tribes are being spoiled and wiped out by modernization. Most of us will never get a chance to meet these seemingly wonderful people. Through your videos, the world gets to take a glimpse of how beautiful these cultures are. Thank you, Drew and your crew!
Love the video of my home country! Haven’t been back since we came to the US to escape the war. Would love to go visit someday. Awesome video Drew! Just subscribed!
I have onced lived in Laos for 3 years and as a Thai, I feel so fascinated with the country, the culture is so beautiful and nothing is broken, things have been the same, and there are not many tourist so it’s very peaceful
Very nice people; especially to hang out with you and show you their lives. Beautiful, remote landscapes, clothing, and villages. Drew, you've seen more remote communities and tribes than many anthropologists-- and all of these remote communities seem to have been really nice.
It's so amazing to see them just living their life and enjoying it, following their traditions. Thanks for sharing this story Drew. Your content is top notch! It has become so good that now I am always excited for Sunday when your video drops!
I am Thai, and I can understand some of what the local spoke. As travellers to several countries, Laos is certainty one of the most friendliest & smiliest people on this planet.
I am Vietnamese, I have alot of Laos friends, they are very truthful, honest and kind. Laos love and they intentionally protect their wild nature unlike people in my country wild life is almost devastated by human.

MERRY CHRISTMAS DREW, WHEN YOU TAKE US TO PLACES LIKE THIS IT MAKES ME THINK OF CULTURES AND WHAT WE ARE LOSING AS A CULTURE WHEN I SEE THIS HAPPY PEOPLE JUST LIVING WE HAVE SOMUCH THEY THEY HAVE SO MUCH MORE.
I love your blogs.. it gives me more knowledge about different cultures. Places were no other bloggers won't even want to visit.. MORE POWER! MORE VIDEOS, please!!
Not a Laotian myself but really love seeing new stories from this little Buddhist country in SE Asia - feel that it has lots of interesting stories that’s very underrated in the World. In other words… ມື້ໃດມື້ໜຶ່ງຂ້ອຍຢາກຈະໄປຢ້ຽມຢາມປະເທດລາວ 🇱🇦😇
Thanks Drew, I've learns and knows so much from each and every countries, their beautiful cultures and people around the world through your eyes and videos. I truely loves your contents and what you've projects about each countries you've visited, you're so real. Happy New Year, blessing you and your love ones rich in good health and happiness. May God and Angels be with you at all times wherever you may go 🙏💖
Loas usually gets overshadowed by Vietnam, as they are neighbors and Vietnam is far more populous and wealthy. just make sure you don't pronounce the "S" as it's silent in Laos. It sounds like "Lao" in English
My daughter is half Lao half white this was fun to watch. I remarried a Moroccan but Lao culture still holds a place in my heart. You should also do a video on amazight in morocco. Than you'd have both my favorites!
This is not just a food review channel....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰
Love how you always immerse yourself in the local culture. I never thought I'd eat rat but watching you be so open to it makes me think i've gotta trust the locals
Awesome video I stumbled upon. I was born in Laos but I’m not Laotian. My parents migrated to the USA when I was a toddler. I’m Hmong living in WI and would love to see some Hmong tribe video in Laos. They usually live in very remote areas more towards the mountain side. ❤
Happy you show something about Laos,I'm from Luangprabang, enjoy Laos. This ethnic group in general is not open to foreigners, neither is allowed to take photo or video to them as they believe in spirits.. so for sure they already had many tourists there, I suggest visit Akha in Oudomxai province, much more authentic, also is not common to try to send a young woman with a western, especially for Akha people. There also Hmong new year now in North of Laos I hope to visit them
Drew Binsky, I want to thank you, really. You changed the way I saw the world. My mom knows about you but she thinks you are lying in some episodes, but I love all of them, and thanks for changing my life, now I want to see every country in the world, just like you. I’m only 11. Probably far below most of your viewers. I also have my own RUclips channel. Much love, Rylan ❤❤❤ P.S. I have been watching you since I was in late 2nd grade or maybe middle 3rd grade, now I’m in 6th.
This video is a special one! I’d love your feedback on “tribe” stories because I hope to do more of these into next year. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!!!!

I’m such a big fan from Laos .Thank you Drew for visit my country and show our culture to the world
Is it common to be so friendly with people immediately by linking arms and shoulders?
Congratulations for your second wife, Drew. She is gorgeous
Hello

Are Hmong and Hminh related?
@@bambamrubble151 I think they’re separate tribes, but I’ve heard that Hminh and Hmong lived in close community with one another in Southeast Asia.

This is so educative, learning diverse cultures. Meeting visits for the first time.
My daughter is half Lao half white this was fun to watch. I remarried a Moroccan but Lao culture still holds a place in my heart. You should also do a video on amazight in morocco. Than you'd have both my favorites!
Amazigh from morocco Here, very good Idea 😄
The Plural is Imazighen btw.
wow i'm blown away, the culture, the hospitality and the beauty of the land. Another great segment Drew well done ! hats off to you and your crew !
This is not just a food review channel....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰
Thanks so much for your comment 😊
I enjoy all your contents, very interesting and raw
I really like this cinematographer, which also should get some recognition! He makes amazing shots.
Incredible content
Love how you always immerse yourself in the local culture. I never thought I'd eat rat but watching you be so open to it makes me think i've gotta trust the locals
Blessed love to all, great video my brother watching from Jamaica west Indies !!
Hey Drew, thanks for traveling to laos remote area. I like your video.
Awesome video I stumbled upon. I was born in Laos but I’m not Laotian. My parents migrated to the USA when I was a toddler. I’m Hmong living in WI and would love to see some Hmong tribe video in Laos. They usually live in very remote areas more towards the mountain side. ❤
im also hmong although i wasnt born in laos
Beautiful people such pure energy thank you for sharing this blessed experience in such a graceful documentary. Stay happy Drew and Crew
Happy you show something about Laos,I'm from Luangprabang, enjoy Laos. This ethnic group in general is not open to foreigners, neither is allowed to take photo or video to them as they believe in spirits.. so for sure they already had many tourists there, I suggest visit Akha in Oudomxai province, much more authentic, also is not common to try to send a young woman with a western, especially for Akha people. There also Hmong new year now in North of Laos I hope to visit them
Happy holidays! You are a man of lands. You are blessed 💗
So you're saying your party in Laos was just like drinking fish bowls at Wandos or a night at the Kollege Klub🤣
Precisely
watching from Milwaukee,Wi!!!
Amazing channel , and what an experience, such nice people!
Drew Binsky, I want to thank you, really. You changed the way I saw the world. My mom knows about you but she thinks you are lying in some episodes, but I love all of them, and thanks for changing my life, now I want to see every country in the world, just like you. I’m only 11. Probably far below most of your viewers. I also have my own RUclips channel. Much love, Rylan ❤❤❤ P.S. I have been watching you since I was in late 2nd grade or maybe middle 3rd grade, now I’m in 6th.
@Rylan- reach for the stars, it sounds like you have a great plan! The best type of learning comes from travel!🤗
Wonderful clips
Nice to see Laos, Laos is a country that i'm researching in class rn!
I love Laos. They have the sweetest people on the planet.
Really exceptional video
