This railway you guys make them great (fast and quality). I hope China will invest and support us for the Hanoi - Saigon high-speed railway. China's railway projects are monumental and amazing. In Vietnam we admire China for the railway.
Great job China and laos! Other our country chose Japan but till now its not yet even started delayed by 5yrs already! China is really helping poorer countries prosper hope they can help more countries
I am happy to see my fellow Asean/Asian countries making good progress and success like this one for Laos. Congratulations to all people of Laos for a good job!
If you ever come to China, the train stations are massive. They are similar to airports tbh.. Also, this train just looks like a normal train in China not the bullet ones.Bullet trains in China go as fast as 200-350 km/h (120-220 mph). The seats with this one are quite basic too but atleast this train cuts down journey time for all people.. thumbs up for the convenience.!
I think all the tunnels along the railroad is key to Laos problems. Travelling by road or shipping goods across country takes so much time that its an adventure. The railroad cuts right through the mountains, so its going to be huge for Laos.
Ive been yo Laos travelling for many years love the country and the people ..im just saying be carefull what you wish for regards dealing with China ...and most up country laos could not afford a train journey
You are not alone saying that Laotian landscape looks like Switzerland 🇨🇭. I hope to travel to Laos once again. Enjoy your trip! I love watching your videos.
Don't Forget to Check Out TaKhek loop in the central of LAOS..It's has the best nature but but not many. Tourist knows about it...Check out the rock view point..Lime stone mountain..and bolavan plateau.. Best and fresh coffee..
I want to go to Laos especially Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng. Life is short. You have to enjoy life. Travel and explore the world. Meet new people. Indulge in the local culture.
Hello from Vietnam. Great video. Vietnam we are also looking forward to a high-speed railway from Hanoi - Saigon. I really admire the neighboring Laos friend who has a quality railway
Why so many people complaining that "160 km/h" is not High-Speed enough? The train is passing through challenging mountain terrain and tunnels, which cannot be compared with routes on flat terrain with 250+ km/h, due to safety reason.
and low cost ,their economy is not enough to afford more speed ,and not necessary ,160km/h is quite fast for now ,with developing ,they could have better infrastructure in the future.
Oh I love watching you two, the way you bounce off each other. Adriana your enthusiasm and excitement about everything is so genuine and cute - adorabubble. Keep being yourselves, it's awesome
@@CJEVERYDAY3 LOL. most of the time train tickets were sold out. Even these 2 vloggers could not get train tickets. and here you talk about default because of the train. Only don't know if it has to do with jealousy or naivety or ignor..
@@applebee3735 Oh mate.. do you really think the money made off a fully ticketed train will pay off the debt? Let's talk reality - the majority of the money earned goes straight to the operational expenditure of the infrastructure of the train (i.e., simply, maintenance, upgrades and administration costs). What little they may have (if any) after will only contribute a small amount to to the bill they'll be getting to service the debt. Then combine the debt with the interest on top, it becomes exceedingly hard for the Lao government to service. Since the Lao government went into the agreement with China - the benefactor of the debt - at an almost 50/50 equity to debt split, a split way to low on the equity side to manage relative to the Lao governments intake - they fall into a 'debt-trap' with China. That, unfortunately, means a political trap by the Chinese government to hold influence and power on poorer SEA countries through debt (hence the defensive reply in Mandarin when I raised the issue of debt). If the Laos government contest anything China does - China pushes for the money back putting a strain on the Lao government, if Laos agrees to Chinas needs and wants - China takes a 'softer' approach on the repayments. For what it's worth, the Group of 7 nations are raising their own funds to combat these practices to fund nations like Laos so they are still able to develop infrastructure but with more realistic budgets and repayments. If you are indeed Laotian, I am in no way attacking the progress of your country. I'm just making you aware of the agreement that's been made and the political impact it has on your country on the world stage. Laos should be free to decide it's own decisions; not forced into following China due to debt.
we were looking forward to making this journey tomorrow but... a last minute change of plan has led to us staying in Laos for an extra month and do an epic road trip! We cannot wait! 😁
We just took this train 10 days ago. We got a man who got a man too! So funny. We started our journey at the Na Toey Station to Vientiane. It was a nice experience. As many have shared, I hope it brings prosperity to Laos as well.
The train is cool. The only regret is nothing much to see on the way apart from mountains. I salute you guys for being brave and adventurous enough to travel in a place you guys don't know much about.
Technically not a high-speed service as it goes at 'only' 160km/h (~100 mph) but of course even that is unheard of in Laos or neighbouring countries except of course China itself. Good for Laos to have implemented such a project. Good passenger transport is very important.
@@sirisakpimchan7014 That's right, in most countries 200km/h (sometimes 250km/h) would usually be considered HSR. Mostly going after European definition of 200km/h for upgraded lines and 250km/h for new lines of *design* speed. 160km/h is not a HSR by any standard, even though it's still quite fast.
i don't really follow Laos content on YT but it's interesting to watch your series in Laos. i'm in it. you found a cute candy car, and now a spacious room. Yes, you found what you are looking for. hehehe 😀💜
Thank you for all the tips, great video! I will travel to Laos April, next year, and I was not sure about taking that train to Vientiane, I would like to go to Vang Vieng first, but a two hours trip seems so much better, I think I will change my plans.
I bought tickets for this train on railway station in LP without any extra charges so it is possible to buy them by foreigners but a lot of hotel owners say that no because they want extra charges. And copy of passport is enough to buy them :) our passport was in motorbike rental so copy was ok ;)
Wouw, what a super-nice hotel in Vientiane. It's very cheap also, consider the space and facilities. I agree with Adrianna (?), it's more like an apartment unit. Looking another wouw vlog(s) from Viantiane, Laos.
Just this small stretch costed Loa 25% of its GDP with high interest rate by chinese and also Lao doesn't have that big population to take advantage to this system or to keep it running and making money, main purpose of this line is to extract natural resources from lao and transport it to China.
You guys caught the "Lang Xang" express (Laotian name for the Mekong) it is also a name of the Laotian dynasty. It is a special painted version of the Harmony (Hexie) express you have reaching most major cities in China😁
It looks like a very nice train. It just looks like everybody is very close to each other and the seats are not as large as I would like to think they would be. But once you got your accommodation. It looks very nice. And it’s a plus that the mini bar is stocked up with lots of goodies. Very nice video. And also I love the puka shell necklace that you’re wearing lately. Because it looks nice and thin not like the larger puka shells. Where did you get that? I’m hoping to order one like that if I can. Or I might just have to go to Laos to get it😊
Ah yes you’re right, perhaps the seats are slightly more narrow - it didn’t feel crowded though! The accomodation was amazing 😍🤗 Oh thank you - I actually bought it from Lazada in Thailand (online) but I think it was actually made in China 👀👀 very cheap and cheerful but it’s lasted very well - I never take it off!

In the future, the sections connecting the south will be more high speed because of the flatter geography
more speed, more energy consumption/cost.
160kmph is affordable.
because they are ignorant and they dont know the geography. they take for granted.

Laos is amazing place. I come 3days ago and I stay in v hotel Vientiane enjoy and god bless you always watching from bahrain 🇧🇭my nationality is Philippines 🇵🇭
Oh amazing!! 🤗🤗🥰
I wanted to visit China one day
The building looks an exact replica of Muzium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, on the outside only!
Oh cool!!
Wow love the green scenery. The train looks awesome, cannot wait to hop on it next year in my visits to Lao
Such a cool way to travel!! 🤗🤗
Trains have levers on the end that flip the seats around 180. For the next time you are facing backwards.
Cr200j can not change the direction of seats
Not sure this train can do that!
Damn, Lao already has a high speed train while Vietnam still hasn't even had a proper modern metro line in HCM city 😭😭😭
Same in Thailand. The train here take 4-5 hours instead of 2 hours for same distance in laos
It is not hi-speed train. 250km up is high speed. Laos is not.
@@mabo9636 But when we have one it will be TRUE HI-SPEED.😂
@@jomontanee hi speed are not it takes only 2 hrs from.Vientiane to Liang prabange
It’s pretty high speed in my opinion 😆
High speed train is contrast to a slow life in LPB ❤️
Fantastic
Stylish train, stylish apartment… stylish country with an interesting culture…
Oh yes!! 😍😍
Cool train
@11:50, $140.00 USD for 4 nites. That’s a steal ! No way !
It was such a great deal 😍😍
สะบายดี. ดีใจ และพูมใจ หลายๆ ที่ พวกเจ้า มาเที่ยว บ้านเมืองข้อย และยังเดียทางด้วย รถไฟฟ้า ความใวสูง ลาว-จีน ด้วย
Enjoy your time in Laos 🇱🇦
Thank you ❤️❤️
I enjoy your trip video. It is short and informative on LCT train trip.
Thank you 🤗
Did this train from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang a couple of weeks back. It felt like the staff were ordering the passengers around like school kids.
Hahah no way! We didn’t really see that much staff but that’s kind of funny 👀
Thanks!
Thank you sooo much!! This will buy us many coffees and cake heheh!
I live in the UK and would dream of trains like this .
They’re very very cool!!
希望老挝富裕起来，希望世界和平而富有和美丽、Gute Reise!🌹🍻
❤️❤️❤️
One day come to Indonesia and travelling to bandung, usually use car to bandung 3 or 4 hours, but with high speed railway 350 km/hours to bandung only 45 minuts. And this is high speed railway the first in southeast. Laos speed railway 160 km/ hours. And thailand speed railway 250 km/ hours. Thailand speed railway finish on 2027.and Indonesia high speed railway 350 km/ hours open to public on July 2023
We would love to 🤗🤗 ah thank you for the info!!
@@2Passports1Dream I check Jakarta to Bandung high-speed rail project details, from engineering Contractor CREC.Track design speed is 350km/h at the DK85+043～DK139+726section. Approximate train speed estimated to be between 200km/h and 250km/h.
Actual speed 142.3 km per 46 min.=142.3*60/46=185.6 km/h
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍✌️✌️🤚🤚

Vientiane is very close to Nongkhai province, north-eastern Thailand ,where the hi speed train will connect to Bangkok Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
Enjoy traveling na kha 😘
Connect with Thailand take 5-8 years. Judge from the current progress
That will be a great journey!
No HSR to Singapore. Foiled by Malaysia. Did you know that Malaysia was the reason the Concorde did not fly to Australia?
Anyway, Malaysia is too stingy. Treasury is broke. Kitty is empty. No HSR.
@@danielch6662 People like Muhyiddin would waste no opportunity to torpedo any Chinese projects agreed on by earlier administrations. He is a well known anti-C person.
@@danielch6662 Will the new PM change that?
Love your show, if you're still in the Philippines, Adriana being piscaterian, try the boneless milk fish
